I wanted to hate this book because I didn’t like Gordo in the first book, but I fell in love with the book just like I did the first one. I feel like every time I questioned something that happened in the book, it was addressed at some point, which made me like it even more. I didn’t cry as much as I did with the first book, and I feel like the author was a little afraid to kill a main character, but I still loved this story. I also was shocked by every twist, even though afterward I should have seen them coming. I think they were just bigger than I expected them to be. I can’t wait to read Heartsong next!

I think Gordo and Mark are my favorite pairing in the Green Creek series. Truly, a love story for the ages. They fall in love as youngsters, grow apart through circumstance, and come together again as bitter, reluctant old men. I love how the story is told from Gordo’s point of view. I love the spooky, ethereal use of the Raven, flapping it’s wings whenever his magic starts to gain control. And Mark. Mark, Mark, Mark, is so loveable, so hunky, and you can really feel how emotional, how deep his love for Gordo has been, how much sorrow he carries for choosing his pack over his mate. It’s my second time reading this book, and I was WRECKED when Mark came back for Gordo, only to get his heart broken, and be given back his wolf. Ow! 

But the story, the sorrow of their past, and the trauma they’ve been through, and the race-against-the-clock element of Mark getting infected by the mysterious Omega disease. It’s just so well done. I didn’t know how to feel, even though I was rooting for them to find a way to save him. 

As always, I love these wolves with all my heart, but Gordo is one hell of a witch, and this story shines so bright from his narrative. An excellent story, even the second time around. I loved every minute of it.

I have no words. 

The Bennett pack! MY HEART. My heart is being squeezed with feelings. Gordo… Gordo, Gordo, Gordo. The story of Gordo and Mark was so heartbreakingly beautiful. This book is all angst. But it has a happy ending! (An exciting, action packed, edge-of-my-seat, upsetting, and still somehow so-totally-satisfying ending.) 

It’s official. I’m a dedicated TJ Klune fan. I’ll read anything this author puts out. It’s simply incredible how many different varieties of emotion this author can wring out of me!
