I love the story of the series, Gordo and Mark are all deserving.
“Remember what you told me?
What we would be for each other?"
He softened, and it felt green. "I'll be your hands."
"And I'll be your sanity."
Love to read about all of them, Ox and Joe and the ones to come.
The religious talk by that hunter b was annoying as hell to read.

I really loved the first book in this series and was excited to continue reading. This book was really good, but didn’t quite draw me in like the first one. That said, there was so much depth to this book. It explained a lot and and set the stage for what’s to come next so well. Strangely, the love story in it didn’t draw me in as much as every other part of the story did. There were a lot of details about the Green Creek world and the dynamics between the pack that I loved learning. And the end made it so that I cannot wait to start book 3!!!

gordo gordo gordo. What can I say? I loved this book, I loved learning about this grumpy, middle-aged witch with daddy issues and all the bits and pieces that led to who he became. Its like an unveiling, an understanding, this book, and boy, oh, boy does it make you feel things. The pacing and the time jumps are so perfect and well done. It's honestly breathtaking how Klune is able to weave the different time points so expertly. I can only imagine how much work it was for him to do. On to book three!

Review of "Ravensong" by T.J. Klune: A Tale of Unbreakable Bonds

In Ravensong, second about T.J. Klune's "Green Creek" series, wavelenghts of profound and enduring bonding of Bennett family fill readers with a touching and immersive experience. We continue to weave a story of loyalty, love, and resilience, against a backdrop of intrigue, supernatural.

Ravensong is at its heart a celebration of family, raised and made. Green Creek has deep rooted werewolves in the form of the Bennett family, werewolves who gift us with a connection that is deeper than bloodlines. Their bond is one of mutual protection, combined with unyielding support, and Klune, masterfully, extends each of these qualities with vivid character interactions and wonderful dialogue.

This installment is about Gordo Livingstone, our protagonista, and the Bennetts run very deep. Forgiveness in the face of past pain is a theme present in his journey of mending his past and working out his present role as the pack's witch, one of unity. The Bennetts’ resounding backing of Gordo throughout the novel, no matter his troubles, past untrustworthiness, represents the lesson of the book: Family can be a lasting thing.

The Bennetts aren’t just a family, there is also the pack and a shared destiny and a shared strength. With warmth, and a bit of tension, and some levity, their interactions paint a portrait of a family that's for the most part, very together. Their stoic Thomas Bennett, their fiercely loyal Carter, each are indispensable components of a narrative that add so much more and makes this worth your time.

Klune makes the Bennett family realistic and aspirational. Yet their unity remains their greatest strength, because they have internal conflicts, doubts and external threats, and dealing with them is draining. The Bennetts represent True love through battles and quiet moments alike as being steadfast and fierce, on account of family which proves to be the power of it all.
