I love the Innkeeper Chronicles.

It has good character focus and interesting world-building.

It's absolutely worth reading.

Dina from the Innkeeper Chronicles is not a werewolf, but there are werewolves in the story. However, the werewolf, and the vampires, in this story are not from earth. They come from other planets.

The Innkeeper Chronicles might not be as similar to the Kitty Norville books as others on this list, but it's a good book series. It's worth checking out.
