I don't even like "choose me" trope because You (the character) don't have to beg to be chosen, you're already more than enough as is (usually) . Yet, I was completely understanding where each side was coming from. What I wouldn't have given for a Mark POV. all the time that was lost! *sobs* Gordo... Gordo... Gordo.... also everytime the narrator goes
"he said....
he said..."
I love that soooooo much. This damn family. Carter is my favorite I think... not that I don't love them all but Carter just makes me laugh. As well as team human *everyone slowly turns to look at him* lololol their interactions bringing much needed levity to the situations. 
I also very much called

Robert Livingston getting someone pregnant. I think he had said his mother? cause she had gone away for a "few months" and then came back. I however... was a little surprised by it being the timber wolf near the end! (makes sense though cause Gordo had said "his muddy brown eyes" had looked familiar but then of course immediately forgot about it because they were in the middle of some shit)

fuck these parents for not giving any instruction about things that their children might come into contact with. Ox's dad sucked, his mom was good but Gordo's parents did the same thing! yeah mom could only do so much but still she didn't specify anything just kept ambushing him with different things that ultimately led to nothing. 

Marty!! Being somewhat to Gordo, what Gordo was to Ox <3

I do love the story and all characters!
I will definitely read the other ones in the series, but my motivation slipped away quickly even though there was a lot of tension. I would have loved to have more tension/ spice between Gordo and Mark and less of the “story”. Surprising end!

I will start by sayinf that I did not enjoy this one quite as much as the first one, but mostly because I wanted these two dummies to over themselves and kiss for most of this book. The angst and separation of the first book felt hard-earned but this one a little less so. But I am enjoying the writing style and the narration of the audiobooks and the way the larger plot continues forward is still gripping and makes me interested in the next book even more so than the romance.

For a story line that talks about such dark themes are full of blood, violence and gore.... Ravensong and the Green Creek series in whole is such a comfort read for me.

Betrayal, murder, genocide, war and familicide are just some of the dark themes encompassed in book but it is balanced out by strong portrayal of found family, love, trust, friendship and unity coupled with so so so much of humor is what makes this a true comfort read for me.

Ravensong is the second book in the 4 book Green Creek series and focuses on second chance love, childhood friends to lovers and is set in a mythical world full of werewolves, witches and human hunters.

The characters that are in this book are so loveable and well written you feel their pain, anger and sorrow as well as their joy, laughter and any emotion in between.

The love story of pack witch Gordo Livingston and pack beta Mark Bennett is so heartbreaking.... but their slow and well paced crawl back to a good relationship was painful as much as it was wanted by me. And you realise that it was both characters faults that lead to such anguish and heartbreak and you can't help but be nothing short of thrilled when they finally get together.

I fell in love with this series right from book one and book two lived up to my standards as well.

This is a definite recommendation to anyone who would want a good plot with a side of action, love, drama, suspense with a whole dose of humor!
