I saw a new werewolf novel, set in Chicago: "Saamaanthaa" by D.T. Neal (www.saamaanthaa.com). I heard it mentioned as "'Heathers' meets 'the Howling.'" Looks promising! Wicked cover!

"Something's eating Samantha's friends, and she's afraid it just might be her. Set in Chicago in 2007, "Saamaanthaa" follows Samantha Hain, a 28-year-old performance artist whose peers include poets and painters who see themselves as cultured subversives in a world full of ordinary people...Sam encounters Ansel Rupino, an artist, a werewolf, and is infected by him..."
