I have a patron asking for a book he read some years back that was part
of a series about twins who were were-wolves. It was a fantasy in which
magic stones were used to move from one level to another. He believes
"Rose" was part of the author's name, and a picture of a wolf was on the
cover. Ring any bells?

I wonder if this could be 'The Fire Rose' by
Mercedes Lackey. I haven't read it, but it
involves werewolfism and alchemy, and has the
requisite wolf on the cover...

I am fairly sure this is not "The Fire Rose" by Mercedes Lackey. "The
Fire Rose" is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast and I do not remember
any twins.

I don't know the series, but your client might want to browse through
the Transformation Stories List, the largest list of werewolf-and-such
story bibliography I know of (most entries include brief annotations).

Which is not to say it doesn't miss a lot too. I just checked and was
distressed to see that three of my four favorite older werewolf novels
aren't listed. (Alexandre Dumas's THE WOLF LEADER; "Jack Mann's" GREY
SHAPES; Jesse Douglas Kerruish' THE UNDYING MONSTER--the fourth, which
is present, being Guy Endore's THE WEREWOLF OF PARIS.) I suspect he's
much better on recent titles than old ones, though.
