As much as I love this series, this book I think is my least favorite of all four books. I think it left me with more questions than it did answers. Obviously I loved Carter and Gavin’s story and their relationship, which is the main focus of the book. However, I there are a few things that bothered me:
-Gordo’s tattoo thing is not described well enough and I still don’t understand what happened.
-How the beast came to be wasn’t answered and I still don’t really get how they defeated him.
-Are there ghosts in this world? Because when Ox glowed it seemed like it.
-Chris and Tanner’s situation seemed a little much and I think there was a better way to convey their friendship.
-Bambi was underutilized.
-Dominique and Will were underdeveloped.
-The authors fear of killing people often cheapened certain moments.
-Some speculation about Thomas and Elizabeth’s sexualities I felt were unnecessary (not everything had to be gay).
Overall though I did enjoy this book and would recommend it to others. I also would love for TJ Klune to write a 5th book set in the future about Joshua or to rewrite these 4 books from Joe, Mark, Kelly, and Gavin’s POV. (Also a book about a young Elizabeth or one about Jessie and Dominique wouldn’t be terrible ideas either.)

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.

Okay, what an ending. Like the other books in this series, I was definitely hooked until the end. So many emotions in this book, and I loved the way it tied back to the beginning and you truly came full circle. So glad I finally picked up this series!
