Shaking, screaming, crying! Literally. I cried so much my sister worried I was getting dehydrated. But I also laughed so hard my face hurt so yeah. I didn't think I'd love another couple as much as the previous ones in this series but along come Carter and Gavin and whaddyaknow, I'm fully obsessed with them! #thumpthumpthump 🐺

I LOVED BROTHERSONG! It's the final book in the Greek Creek series and ohhh boy have these books hurt me. HOWEVER! They only were able to do so because I fell so madly in love with the characters and cared so deeply about them. I feel insane thinking about how just over a year ago I didn't even know the Bennett pack and now they're so freaking precious to me! All of them! ❤️

I read Brothersong almost exactly a year after Wolfsong, in the same place, which felt like things were coming full circle. Carter's been one of my fave characters since the beginning (him and Ox) and this book just solidified it. It's the only book that has a Bennett as the narrator and I loved getting to see beyond how funny Carter is and peek inside his messed up head ❤️

This book is the perfect ending to an amazing series. There's so much focus on (found) family, and the Bennett brothers, and pack, and choices. Choosing who you are, who you want to be, and who you want at your side. Choosing your own path, choosing happiness, and then fighting with tooth and nail to get there.

Carter is the love of my life, he's carrying the world on his shoulders and he cares so deeply. He's always putting others first, even to his own detriment, and people tend to not truly see all of him because he works hard for them not to. And Gavin? Gavin's the best boy but he's so lost and broken. He's never had anyone want him without conditions, he's not used to good things, and he doesn't know how to deal with love and kindness aimed at him. That said, these two are also both absolute assholes and I truly love that about them! They give each other so much shit, they're both too stubborn for their own good, loyal af, and they both love fiercely and are such a great match! ❤️ 

This book was amazing, easily my second fave in the series, and I wish it never had to end. The way Klune manages to have you going from laughing out loud to full on sobbing in less than a page is amazing!
