I love TJ Klune so much, I’m new to this series though and each book just gets even better, I fall more in love with TJ’s writing and his stories, his characters break my heart and put the, back together again, I swear if you want the best romance, read a book by TJ

Absolutely beautiful

Klune is the master at these beautiful stories. Captivating, interesting and will leave you thinking about life for ages!

This may be my favourite Green Creek book so far, and to tell you why may be a bit of a spoiler. So be warned I guess?

Robbie wants one thing. Just one. He wants to belong. But he’s never seemed to feel at home. His only friend is the man who took him in, when he was lost and alone. But even he can’t help fill the void that buries it’s way through Robbie’s heart. Still, life as the trusted right hand of the Alpha of Alpha’s is pretty swell. If only there weren’t so many suspicious things going on.

When Robbie is sent out into the world, he meets a child who shouldn’t be alive. And before he knows it, he’s questioning everything he’s ever been told. And what’s more, the Bennets are involved. Traitorous wolves, magical prisoners, suspicious deals, and painful truths are on their way. Robbie’s going to have a hard time sorting out what is even real.

(Now for the spoilers)
I never knew how much I loved a tragic magical memory-wipe trope. But dang if it ain’t both tragic and magic! As always I say that this series is like Teen Wolf but with gays (and a few more grown-ups), and as such is a little bit (extremely) corny at times. And that is the best part. Book three has a bit more heart than I was expecting but it is safe to say that I’m having a delightful time in this series and I am already keen for book four. There is nothing like soft wolf boys and hardcore found family.

This book is actually part of a series and I would definitely recommend all books need to be read in order. TJ Klune's imagination and representation in my opinion can not be paralleled. I really want to re read this whole series via audiobook.

My favourite TJ Klune book will always be Under the Whispering Door but these series is giving it a run for its money.

Additional, The cover art for this book is perfection and fits the story so well.

I have adored everything TJ Klune has written and this doesn't change with Heartsong. Captivating, magical, intense and joyous - the most gorgeous story (with a new STUNNING cover!)

Okay so in all honesty I should have read a recap at least of Ravensong before diving into this one, because for the first 150 pages I was SO confused constantly. I felt like I had completely forgotten the ending of Ravensong, because I could not understand why Robbie was where he was - which as it turned out was a part of the plot! But I wish I had had more of an idea of that going in, because I just spent so long feeling very baffled.
This series has one of the best found families I've ever read. Every single one of these characters makes you feel, and care for them deeply, Their bonds with each other are so precious and heartwarming, and TJ Klune does such a fantastic job of writing witty banter laced with affection.
This book is HEAVY and it is INTENSE. This is a very emotional story, with a lot of focus on Robbie's character development, and it is thoroughly overflowing with angst. The villains are very dimensional and you become completely embroiled in how much the protagonists hate them - TJ Klune has a real way of making you feel exactly how he wants you to.
Because of how I felt in the first 150 pages, I can't quite give this five stars, but it was another great installment in this series and I'm so excited for the conclusion in Brothersong!

The third in the Green Creek series, this time telling Robbie's story as he was taken away from the Bennett family and living with Ezra (the witch known by another name) and Michelle Hughes who is trying to be the alpha of all, a title that rightly should belong to Joe.

Magic has affected Robbie and his memories, so he must learn to remember who he is and what he meant to the people that were left behind. Will Ezra get away with his crimes?

I always love being back in Green Creek. I always say, when recommending this series to others, that I never knew I needed gay werewolves in my life, but I do and it's all sunshine and rainbows most of the time and pack, pack, pack...

This book follows Robbie who was one of the newest additions having been sent as spy back in book 1. Again we get klunes magical writing here and how wonderfully he writes relationships between characters and how their relationships grow and depeen and feel veryreal. You will feel a lot of emotions here and get all those new relationship butterflies. I also love the exploration of an asexual character. This was well done
You do get some humour too to lighten up the more serious moments which helps.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.

TJ Klune's writing sucks you in completely from the first page and doesn't let go. The Bennett saga is quickly becoming one of my favourite series - the characters are so well written and the narrative pushes forward with such intensity it's difficult to put down. I also quite enjoy the way Klune chooses what might ordinarily be seen as side-characters to concentrate on rather than say, Joe or Elizabeth. Amazing rep for gay love too! If you love heart-wrenching love stories with a healthy dose of humour and a great plot, read these books!

The gayest werewolf pack in the world are back in the third instalment in this gorgeous, weird and mesmerising series!

Following on from the attack on Green Creek in book two, Ravensong, it's time for all out war between rival werewolf packs! There's been manoeuvring, dirty tricks, infiltrations, and things are really coming to a head now.

And it's this that makes the style of this book so surprising, so unexpected and so surreally gorgeous. You see, most of it isn't the kind of supernaturals at war narrative you'd expect if you were a fan of, say, Underworld. Or maybe Twilight, to be honest I haven't read Twilight and only have vague memories of the one film I fell asleep during. But I'm pretty sure they had supernatural creatures going to war and it was visceral and bloody and action packed.

Most of Heartsong isn't like that, it isn't like that at all. What we get instead is an intense and emotional psychological exploration of what it means to have an utter bastard of a witch get inside your head and fuck with your memories. From the start it's clear that there's something off. Robbie loses track of what he's been doing, where he's been, who he's met, even what day it is. It's quickly clear that something is off, but the true horror of it takes a little while to fully sink in. You see, this isn't the kind of villainy that does obvious, evil-laugh style nasties. This is the kind of villainy that convinces you that it loves you, that it needs you, that it's the only one there for you and those people out there, they don't love you, they don't need you, they weren't there for you. It's Mother Gothel, rather than the Wicked Stepmother. And it's all the more convincing and all the more evil for it. Honestly, this is the kind of nasty I absolutely love reading about, the mind manipulating, gas-lighting motherfuckers are just so bloody terrifying because you don't hate them and you can totally empathise with poor Robbie and see just how horribly he's being manipulated.

What follows is an exploration of what it's like trying to break that spell, and it's difficult and it's emotional and it's heart breaking at times, with little glimmers of hope thrown in. It's a tough road we walk with Robbie and it's a journey travelling it. And one of the beautiful things about this series is that each book features a different point of view character. I didn't care for Robbie much when I read Ravensong (and true confession time, I still haven't read Wolfsong though I went out and bought it after I blog toured Ravensong) but seeing his world through his eyes has definitely changed that. This series is so gorgeously written that it's hard not to love the main characters, however unlovable they may seem from the outside. I'm already looking forward to the fourth book, which spotlights Carter, a character I don't currently care much for, because I just know that will change and I am here for it!

Along with all the psychological trauma, there's a lot of romance, and it's almost all queer romance. I love how at one point the characters themselves joke about this and call themselves the most gay wolfpack in the world, to which Ox just says something like "I'm okay with that." It's something they embrace and it's a joy to see. There's this beautiful blend of family and pack and brotherhood and love and it all just seems to come together in everyone getting naked and piling together with pillows and blankets and it's gorgeous. There's also something particularly gorgeous about watching two people who already fell in love falling in love all over again. It's enough to crack my old, cynical heart. Robbie hurt a lot of people, and he's been so badly hurt himself. The healing is slow, and it is hard, but it gives one hope.

One thing I picked up on in my Ravensong review that is also very present here is the absolutely gorgeous use of scent and emotion and packpackpack mental links throughout the story. Werewolves communicate in ways that are incomprehensible to (most) humans and somehow this comes across really clearly in the text. It's strained more here, becuase of Robbie's broken links, and that's reflected cleverly throughout the novel. It's there but it's not the same, it's never fully explained because it's never fully explainable. It's part of the mystery and wonder and beauty.

The action does come too. There's a war brewing and everything erupts in grand style. And when it came, I don't think I was quite ready for how horrifying it would be. This is a series that bypasses typical horror tropes and finds new and quite horrible ways to get under your skin. And I mean that with utter praise and respect. It's brilliant, really, just how horrifying it manages to be without ever resorting to cheap shots and jump scares. It's psychological horror at its finest. As soon as I realised what was coming, I knew it would be hard to read and brilliant, and I was right on both counts.

Heartsong, it's surreal and it's beautiful and it's horrifying and I loved it!

This book va provided by Pan Macmillan via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely adored the whole Green Creek series. When I closed Heartsong, I felt so sad that it was over (for now, I cannot wait for Lovesong !)

I loved this book the most of all the series, because the plot , the twists, the angst ! I spent half of the book thinking I knew when and who, then was completely bamboozled ! But in a good way !

Also his book was from my favourite wolf's point of view, which might be why it made me feel the most. I wanted to hug Robbie so often. I'd really like the members of the Bennet pack to stop hurting each other please, I don't think my heart can take more of it.

Speaking of favourites, Rico is still the absolute best, I love his relationship with Bambi, with Chris and Tanner, with Robbie ! If anything happened to him I would be so sad.

Wow, that book was incredible! I couldn't put it down.Loved the book! I'm obsessed with this series! It's so different from anything else I've read.

I think I'm gonna go ahead and call this my favourite book series. I love the characters and the way the stories are all interwoven and seeing the different characters points of view.

Heartsong is Robbie's story. When it opens he's living at the complex with Michelle Hughes and my assumption was that this had gone back in time to before he came to Green Creek. It soon transpires that this is not the case... He had been kidnapped and had his memory wiped. Having to fit back into the place where he clearly belongs but has no clue about was hard on him but he tried, bless him!

I just want to give everyone massive hugs, they go through so much trauma but they just keep going! Thanks to the extra twist near the end I'm extra eager for Brothersong to get released and read Carter's story, one of the characters that seems most together in the surface but the reality is otherwise.

This was my first time reading a book from the author but I am delighted to say I thoroughly enjoyed the story and I look forward to reading more books from the writer in the future

This was the third book in the series and it is set a fair few years later. i felt like I missed the family a lot in this one, it was a fair chunk before they even appeared. I enjoyed this and am interested enough to see where the series will take us next.

Most TJ Klune books make me cry, including the first two books in this series. Sadly Heartsong just bored me to tears, it brought nothing new to the table and felt like a rehash of the first two books. The endless smelling of colours and packpackpack has lost its appeal, feeling both overused and repetitive.

I am now torn as to whether I will continue with the series or not.

Was I prepared to get my heart ripped out and stomped on for the third time? No. I really should have expected it though, thanks TJ Klune. I always experience a mix of terror and excitement when going into a Klune novel.
This is Robbie and Kelly’s story. We begin with Robbie in Michelle Hughes’ settlement where he is her right-hand man on all important pack related things, but there seems to be something missing – the Bennett’s. It appears that Robbie has no recollection of the Bennetts and his important role in their lives. I was slightly confused at points while I found my footing regarding Robbie and where he fit into this new role elsewhere to Green Creek. After a pause I realized that Robbie had no memories of the last few years. He was almost robotic in his behaviours. As a reader there was no mention of the Bennetts for a long time and it was strange. This did go on for a while and my confusion remained until things were explained.
Robbie essentially had to be deprogrammed from the brainwashing he experienced and it was so emotional seeing Kelly desperate to get his mate back and once he did, there was zero recollection on their journey.
As always, Klune writes a heartwrenching novel. It’s always a pleasure jumping back into packpackpack and seeing how everyone is, regardless of the bombshells and emotional moments. As I said in my review for Ravensong, nothing will top Wolfsong and all the emotions I felt in the first book. I love reading these, but it would take a miracle for me to love another book in the series more than that.
The next book will be emotional as well, I can already feel it.

Book 3 of 4 in a werewolf saga.

I've really come to love the various characters in the Bennett clan, and with the awful scrapes they find themselves in, worry for their safety! If you've read books one and two, you know exactly what I mean.

This book follows Robbie who disappeared in a worrisome cliffhanger in book two. We see how sweet he is, but also how he's being manipulated too. We also meet other wolf packs in this one which is interesting.

These werewolves are the more modern type; able to shift when they want and our family are the heroes of the tale. Along with their human friends.

This book saw me through a very sad time and was able to distract me completely so thanks to Mr Klune, I appreciate it. I'm looking forward to book 4 and his other new release this year.

Hey. Hi. Hello.

I'm the first one that's surprised I don't feel like I can give this 5 stars. I love the Bennetts. This series has one of the best and most wholesome found families I have ever read, but there was something off in this book.

What I loved:
- The relationship between Kelly and Robbie being rainbows and sunshine and pure cinamon roll adorableness.
- The relationship between Carter and Kelly being better than any of the romances that could ever be written in this series.
- Elizabeth being a kind and caring mother one second and a badass queen the next.
- Carter Bennett being Carter Bennett.
- Thomas Bennett writing letters to his sons' future mates.
- The relationship between Robbie and Rico.
- The relationship between Robbie and Gordo.
- The relationship between Elizabeth and Jessie.
- Chris and Tanner being the best comedic duo.
- Ox being Werewolf Jesus.
- Tony and Brodie being cutie pies.
- Carter's video to Kelly.
- Fireflies and stone wolves.
- Me crying over the smallest things (Carter and Thomas, I blame you two in particular)

Why I can't give it 5 stars:
- The fact that it has been years since the end of Ravensong. This pisses me off. We deserved the original Robbie and Kelly falling in love story. We deserved seeing the relationship between Carter and the timber wolf develop. We deserved seeing Chris and Tanner learning to be wolves and Rico and Gordo making fun of them. We deserved seeing the pack struggle through Robbie disappearing. We did not deserve a time jump.
- There were no Bennetts for the first 25% of this book.
- Half the time it felt like this was more about Robert Livingstone and Michelle Hughes than it was about the Bennett pack.
- Joe is nowhere to be seen. After Wolfsong Joe’s character has had no purpose. Once Ox became alpha, Joe became unnecessary. It’s like he’s not even there. Same with Mark. I loved him in Ravensong but he spoke two phrases in this book.
- We deserved a Kelly pov.
- The plot. We all know that this series thrives on its characters and not on its very average plot. I mean, we're all here for the found family and the romances and not for the actual storyline, but weird decisions were made.

That being said, I love the pack with all my heart, I bawled my eyes out and I cannot wait for Carter's story.

TJ Klune can play with emotions, humour and creates great characters. It's the first book I read in the Green Creek serie but i had no problems in understanding plot or characters
I was hooked since the beginning and my attention never wavered as I was involved in the plot and the relationships between the characters.
There's a lot going on and there's a lot to love. Now I have an entire series to read
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine
