Reviews with content warning for Murder - Brothersong

This was a wonderful conclusion to the series. I'm kind of relieved to be done. The books were pretty emotional. I loved getting to know Carter more.

The only thing that I didn't get was Joe's comment about his dad and Richard Collins maybe having a relationship. It was one sentence with no development and was just random.

The last book in the Green Creek series focuses on Carter, a Bennett brother for the first time. Which I found interesting. I think Gavin was a bit too far removed from the story and the background of the pack to make this story work.

I always liked Carter even though he was a bit brass. His friendship with Ox from the start was genuine and had nothing to do with Joe, well little but the start anyway. But he was always a bit more removed from the romantical side of things. He didn't seem to be looking for more than a good time. But when Gavin was torn from him at the end of Heartsong he realized what the timberwolf meant to him. I did think their romance was a bit forced by the situation where they felt it was needed that they mated so that they were sure that Gavin wouldn't be influenced by his father. I think that was a shame because I felt that they needed more time with one another. On the other hand they do work. Even if Carter is awkward as heck that he now has a boyfriend instead of girlfriend.

There are some things about the plot that didn't quite work for me. How the pack came to the rescue just at the right moment. That they waited for Livingstone to break free and come to them when they had him trapped or what about that thing with Ox?

But I am and always will be so mighty invested in the characters and these bonds that I could read right through it and not be too bothered.

i don't have words 😭😭😭😭 (proceeds to vomit paragraphs of words)

What a beautiful end to a completely stunning series. These books swept me off my feet, and I'm going to be thinking about them for a long, long time to come. And rererereading.

Gavin my feral little monster. His character journey is so good, and he deserves so so so many hugs. I love him and seeing the love and home he's found makes me so happy 🥺 (the only missed opportunity here I think could have been explored is Gavin's gender identity/expression. The sparkly clothes, "don't call me dude," etc just felt like it was leading towards something. And maybe years down the road it would. anyways. trans/nb gavin will live in my head rent free forever)

AND CARTER YOU LOVELY BEAN 🥺🥺🥺 I loved getting inside his head, and I loved the deep dive into the brothers' relationships. It was such a perfect pov and relationship focus to wrap up the series.

Also I really love how self-aware this book is 😂 Everyone commenting on how literally everyone in this pack is queer. Multiple people calling out Bennetts on their absurd tendency to randomly fucking leave and have to have everyone else track them down and drag them home. Left me cackling 😂

Literally never going to recover from my love of Oxnard Matheson. This boy. This perfect boy. I would read a hundred books from his pov. I'm so proud of him. He's come so far, but he's still the little boy standing alone in the kitchen trying not to cry, wanting his name stitched on a work shirt, getting soap bubbles on his ear, walking home along that dirt road. damn werewolf jesus. I love him so freakin much 😭😭😭😭😭

Anyways. Read this series. I'm unwell forever.
