This book shattered my heart and put it back together.

I’m so in love with this world and these characters! Every. Single. One of them is so special to me. 

Robbie takes over as the POV character in this emotional, rend-your-heart-in-two story of high stakes supernatural drama! I don’t want to tell any spoilers, but what happens to Robbie at the start of this novel is an emotionally devastating mindfuck. Also in this book - another loss for Team Human (Rico, you beautiful bastard, I’m so glad you’re still here.) An asexual werewolf! (KELLY, YOU ARE MY FAVORITE.) And Jessie gets a girlfriend! (“We really are the gayest pack that ever existed,” JSHSJVHHJC OH MY GOD I’M SCREAMING) 

You’d think I’d be tired of the mating bond stuff after three books but I am HYPED for Carter and Gavin’s story. Bring it on TJ Klune. Gimme everything you’ve got.

ROBBBBIIIIEEEEEE 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

This baby 😭 my heart broke so many times. For a character that had longed for family, for a place to belong, for so much of his life, to have that taken away from him is just gut wrenching. I love the character work done here, with Robbie, Kelly, and the rest of the pack. The trauma of being betrayed so many times would of course manifest itself, and it just makes everything so much sadder 😭 nothing quite hits like amnesia angst 😭😭😭😭

AND KELLY MY ACE KING 😍😍😍😍 I love love love love how his asexuality is handled through this. So well done. And I was rereading a section of Wolfsong, and I love how the groundwork was laid all along for him being ace; it was subtle but made it feel natural and not like an afterthought or last minute decision.

(Also Carter having a bi panic realization in the middle of a battle xjxkksbcdbsjsbs how very on brand 😂😂😂)

(m/m, ace mc, werewolves). This book is excellently eerie.
When I started it the first time, I was convinced we’d gone back in the timeline.
Satisfying romantic ending. Excellent set up for the sequel. I love getting more of Chris and Tanner, and I love the pack getting gayer. I’m also pleased with the ace representation.
The kids are appropriately terrifying.
I adore the self-awareness (gayest pack ever, self sacrificing assholes, gratuitous nudity).
