I feel like 95% of the issues had with these books would've been cleared up if more than one of the books had been read. I think it's a little overwhelming to be the only source of knowledge.
My advice for someone reading these after going through this, is to go in as open minded as possible. Keep in mind that Briggs tried to incorporate as much wolf behavior into her werewolves as possible, too. She spent a while on a wolf reservation getting pack dynamics right before writing them. The power-plays and dominant/submissive issues are majorly taken from the wild. As is the fact that wolves are a predator of coyotes. (Which is why Mercy is looked down on.)
If you really don't like them, you could try to Greywalker series by Kat Richardson.
