What can I say, except 'Pack Pack Pack' for life? I absolutely loved Brothersong - Carter and Gavin are both self-sacrificing loyal idiots and their story was full of tension and angst, but also humour and comfort. Pack loyalty and family are strong themes, and fraternal relationships between both Bennett and Livingstone brothers are heartfelt and real. Gavin and Gordo tentatively reaching out to each other, and Kelly, Joe and Ox chewing out Carter for severing his link to the pack.
“I can’t believe we spent almost a year and drove thousands of miles just to watch you fail at flirting."

Slotting back into pack life for a last time after Carter returned to Green Creek with Gavin was easy, if emotional.
As the last book on the series, Brothersong tied up all the loose ends - so plot took significant focus, at times taking attention off the central couple. I had expected this and loved seeing everyone on page, but I would have absolutely loved more Carter and Gavin. Their dynamic is amazing, and I particularly loved Gavin's sass. He may not like talking, but everything he had to say hit just right!
"Does Gavin make you happy?”“He drives me up the wall and makes me want to tear my hair out.”

I absolutely adored this final installment and will just add a few favourite things here:
- Thump, thump, thump.
- tether brothers
- Stupid Carter.
- the queerest pack in existence
- Gavin's DIVA shirt
- that annotated book

I am absolutely not ready to say goodbye to the Bennett pack. If you haven't yet started the Green Creek series, now's the perfect time to pick it up because all four titles are out. And if you've already read the books, it's the perfect time for a re-read, or to finish the series!

Yes, the beginning was a little slow.
Yes, the whole Robert Livingstone plotline makes no sense.

But I'm not here for the plot. I'm here for the romance, the found family and the fact that I was already crying with the first chapter.

I love Carter. I love Gavin. I fucking love Elizabeth Bennett. I love the pack and I would happily read about them doing absolutely nothing because all I want is to be surrounded by them.

I'm still waiting on a novella on Thomas and Elizabeth's love story.

After completely falling in love with Wolfsong (book one in the Green Creek series), finding that same connection with the other books would be hard to achieve. The second novel was fantastic but it did not top my love for the first and unfortunately my love for Brothersong did not either. Now, I’m not saying the books were bad or I didn’t like them because I certainly did. The way Klune weaves intense romance with family and community bond is second to none but there is something about Ox and Joe that will hold my heart forever.
Brothersong follows the third Bennett brother, Carter who has a special place in his heart for Gavin. Gavin remained a mystery since Ravensong as this consistent presence among the pack but was important to everyone nonetheless. Turns out, Gavin is half-brother to Gordo. At the end of Heartsong we see Gavin shift to human pleading with Robert to leave the Bennett pack alone if he leaves with him. Carter is goofy and tries to put an easy breezy image forward. I think Brothersong was the first chance we got as readers to see a deeper side to him. Now, we witnessed his grief and determination to protect his family in the previous books but this book provided an even deeper insight into his mind. Previously Carter said he was straight but slowly comes to the realisation that he is bisexual and that Gavin is his mate.
A large portion of this book is Carter trying to find Gavin. After leaving with his father, Gavin fought to keep everyone safe from this beast Robert became but Carter is not having this. Not only because they’re mates but because Gavin is such a vital member of their pack and family. This is the only book in the series where I felt it dragged a little bit. The hunt and chasing down of Gavin lasted quite a while and then the last 50% kind of breezed by unexpectedly.
Their connection was fantastic. It stemmed from a deep companionship that held no expectations so when their romance bloomed, any development was a delight to read.
I don’t really know what to do now this series has concluded. I read a lot of different books but this series hit me so unexpectedly I needed a second to gather my thoughts. It may be one of the only series I reread but nothing can compare to reading Wolfsong for the first time, not holding any expectations for what’s to come.
Thank you for such a fantastic series. I’d recommend this to anyone and everyone.

🐺❤️🐺BOOK REVIEW - BROTHERSONG by T.J. Klune🐺❤️🐺

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5/5 stars)

It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to Green Creek with Brothersong. T.J. Klune wraps up the series with Carter’s story, and it’s an emotional rollercoaster. Carter’s journey to find Gavin and confront his past had me hooked and fully invested. Plus, human Gavin is incredible - 5 stars for that guy alone.

The dynamic between Carter and Gavin is intense, heartfelt, and a bit bro-jock. If I am honest, they are probably my least favourite pairing in the series, but by no means are they poorly done. There were a few moments where the pacing slowed, and some interactions felt off, but overall, the emotional depth and final resolution were incredibly satisfying.

Brothersong is a fitting end to a beloved series full of love, family, and heart. I’ll miss the Bennett pack and all the adventures we’ve shared. If you’ve come this far, you’ll enjoy how it all wraps up.

TJ Klune can made me cry buckets, laugh out loud, and reading till very late in the night.
This is the last in this series and it made cry/laugh/read till late in the night.
The last in an excellent series that I will surely miss.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Brothersong follows Carter as he’s looking for his mate Gavin to free him from his father Robert Livingston even at risk of becoming an Omega himself. It’s a story of self discovery and acceptance, family and love.
Personally I didn’t love this book, but I think my problems lie in the book being about werewolves, because some parts of it felt a bit awkward. Also the whole relationship between Carter and Kelly felt completely off, it almost felt romantic which was quite uncomfortable to read. Also Carter as a main character was not the best, I related to his struggles with being the oldest sibling, however I didn’t like how he kept calling Gavin dude or man even after he was told through the whole book to stop calling him that.
Gavin on the other end I really liked, and I would have probably enjoyed this book more if he was the MC.
The narration style was great, the author writing just works for me every single time, hence why I’ll always get their books no matter what.
Overall if you like werewolves I recommend this entire series, because it most definitely will work for you.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an ecopy of this book.

This book has pulled all my heart string.

The bond between Kelly and Carter was so strong and the pain they went through when Carter went to look for his Mate.

Also reading the connection made between Carter and Gavin the pain Gavin went through with his father was heart wrenching.

Tj Klune has a way to make your cry and laugh.

“Silly Carter” 💖

Brothersong is Carter's story. I won't give any more details as this is 4th in series.

This series has my whole heart and I'm so sad it's over. Its been a journey and I loved every minute of it. I would highly recommend this whole series.

Thank you to Netgalley, Pan Macmillan and T J Klune for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I cannot think of a better way for the Green Creek series to end than this. Until the end of the book before, I was intrigued but confused by the fact that this book was from Carter's perspective, a character I really like but who didn't seem to be a main character in terms of plot development. At the end of the third book it all clicked into place and I literally couldn't wait to get into this book. I think I connected so much with him as an oldest sibling myself - i think having the story told from his perspective resonated with me more than any of the other viewpoints throughout the series. I love TJ Klune's writing style so much, and while I am sad that the series is finished now, I am so glad it finished with this book, which was in my opinion completely perfect.

I’m so sad to see this series finish! I grown to love the Bennetts, Green Creek and the quirky characters in town across the four books and I know this is a series I’ll revisit in the future. TJ Klune has incredible talent for writing heartache, humour, and love - whether that be between family, lovers, or friends. Carter and Gavin have a difficult road ahead of them in this story as you’d expect with the way things ended in Heartsong, and it was hard to see Carter battle with some darker feelings at the beginning of the story, on his hunt for Gavin. These are two very stubborn wolves as well, and their interactions are amusing in their gruffness and the way Gavin in particular enjoys winding Carter up.

This is definitely another one that’s going to tug at your heartstrings as well as giving heaps of fuzzy feelings. I admit to completely bawling at one particular point, so get your tissues ready, but Klune balances the strong emotional scenes with softer ones, whether it’s with his subtle humour or tender conversations between brothers. I was sad not to spend more time with the pack in this one, and felt it had a little less comedy than some of the other books and although we have the slowest of slow burns between Carter and Gavin, two characters that I love, their romance didn’t hit quite the same and I think I maybe didn’t feel the emotional connection between them as much as I have with other couples in the series but that’s not to say I didn’t love these two together because their dynamic was great and Gavin is such a grump with a wicked sense of humour and the most unexpected taste in clothes.

This may not be my favourite book from the series (please don’t ask me to name one) but I still loved it and cannot get enough of TJ Klune’s writing. Here’s hoping he’s going to drop a new series soon but if you’re looking for recs in the meantime, In the Lives of Puppets is chock full of heart, found family, and humour that had me laughing out loud - so everything the Green Creek series has, but Sci-Fi.

I received a free copy of this book. All views are my own.

I think the Bennets are going to have to start adopting baby wolf pups or something because the sheer number of gay boys in this family might mean the end of the family line!

Green Creek book four! Brothersong!! Final wolf howls let’s go. We’ve had Ox and Joe, Mark and Gordo, Robbie and Kelly, and now it’s Carter’s turn for an incredibly sweet (and stubborn) deep-dive into his heart for the wolf who’s been nipping at his heels.

Carter got a single glimpse of what the man behind the wolf was, but suddenly the wolf, and the chance to find out more of what could be, were ripped from his life. Carter is not having it. He’s giving up everything to find out what that glimpse meant. He’s dropping everything, leaving the family, leaving Green Creek, leaving his post as mayor, everything.

But Carter may not be ready to learn about the past, especially where it interconnects with his own, his family, his father. And what sins have been passed down generation by generation. Whether it is the son’s job to fight, or let go.

This is the final Green Creek and it followed similar paths to the previous three. As I always say, there’s something incredibly camp about these werewolves, and yet I’m glad I read them all. I think book three was still my favourite, and after four books of this, I can tell you with absolute certainty that these boys need therapy that comes from outside the pack. Still, there’s nothing like a hearty family hug, and whatever form that family takes is celebrated in this series, and that’s wholesome as hell.

The Green Creek books follow one werewolf pack through their (many) trials and tribulations.
For those who’ve read Klune’s other works, please note: they are not cosy books and they are NOT YA.

Each book follows a different member of the pack, which I’m always nervous of because I get attached to main characters, but I have loved every one of the POV characters.

Brothersong is Carter’s story.
He leaves the pack and goes out into the world to find Gavin. Gavin who lived beside him for years, and he yet he didn’t notice he was his mate until he was gone. Because of course he didn’t. Caaaaaaarter. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Meanwhile Robert Livingston (the big bad) isn’t gone, and the Green Creek pack know they’ll need to deal with him sooner or later, or they’ll never be safe and free to live their lives without fear.

Brothersong is as full of love, heartbreak, and joy as the previous books, but it’s also an ending, with all the build up and finality that requires.
My heart was in my throat and my anxiety was in overdrive waiting to see how it would all come together.
I’ll not spoil it for you, but I enjoyed the ending and felt it was true to the rest of the series.

If you’re a fan of TJ Klune, werewolf fiction, or the rest of this series, I would highly recommend Brothersong!

Brothersong
A heart-rending werewolf shifter tale filled with love and loss
by TJ Klune

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: General Fiction (Adult), LGBTQIA, Sci Fi & Fantasy

I didn't really gel with this book. That surprised me as I've loved the rest of the series, but somehow this book caught me out.
I had to restart a couple of times as I kept putting it aside to come back to at another time when maybe I'd get more into it, blamed it on me not being in the right mood perhaps ?( It happens, sometimes I find a book I expect to enjoy, in a favourite genre, by a favourite author, doesn't really keep my interest one day but will read differently to me another time). I couldn't really “feel” the story and characters, get engrossed with them in the usual way. I kept on, but at times it felt like a slog, the reading felt jumpy and disjointed to me and I just really couldn't enjoy this final episode, which came as a sad surprise to me.
I can't really pinpoint why, except that with the other novels I've come to get a real sense of the main characters, to feel I understood them, but here I never got that connection, that closeness, and felt distanced from the story, rather than part of it.

Stars: Two and a half, I did enjoy parts but overall this was a fail for me :-(

ARC supplied by netgalley and publishers

I will read anything T. J. Klune writes. This is the the fourth and latest book in the Green Creek series. Its about a family thats more than a family. they are a pack. Again, he does not dissapoint.

What an absolutely glorious conclusion to one of my favourite book series of all time. This book was everything I wanted it to be; poignant, thrilling, funny in places and sad in places. This book will rip your heart out and put it back together again and I cannot get over how beautiful the ending was - it’s genuinely everything I wanted for the Bennett pack and Green Creek.

This book is the first to actually be told in the POV of one of the Bennett brothers, Carter Bennett, and it’s really exciting to be able to view the family from the inside this time around. This book flashes around in time and there are a lot of callbacks to the previous books; it was so interesting to see them from a different perspective. The ‘now’ timeline of the plot follows Carter as he tries to find and rescue Gavin Livingstone from his father, after he took him at the battle of Caswell and as expected, that plot line was emotional and traumatic as hell. My heart broke for both Carter and Gavin throughout.

Gavin and Carter (stupid Carter) are just so perfect - it’s my absolute favourite trope (black cat x golden retriever) and both of these boys are just self sacrificing assholes. The amount of emotion and pain they went through to get their HEA is immense and I just loved them so damn much.

I also loved getting more ‘pack life’, especially the comic relief from Rico, Tanner and Chris, plus Jessie being her badass self. I adored the ‘platonic mate bond’ between Tanner and Chris (in my headcannon theirs is the ultimate friends-to-lovers slow burn, but of course other readers may choose to keep them as platonic mates in their heads!).

Overall this book made me cry, smile, laugh and squeal with happiness. The Green Creek series has cemented itself as one of my favourites of all time, and for that I am grateful to always have these books to go back to.

Read Brothersong for:
✨ Perfect conclusion to a beautiful series
✨ Carter Bennett’s POV (Stupid Carter)
✨ Idiots to lovers
✨ Black Cat x Golden Retriever personalities
✨ Flashbacks to the other books
✨ Doing everything to save the one you love
✨ PackPackPack 💕

Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC of this book! All opinions are my own.

A fitting and wonderful end to an absolutely fantastic series.

I can’t recommend the Green Creek series enough. TJ Klune has created something here that everyone can enjoy.

Thank you to NetGalley, Pan MacMillan and Tor for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book feels like a love letter to Green Creek and every single member of the Bennett pack and words cannot express how much I adored it.

It picks up shortly after the events of Heartsong, with Carter deciding to go after Robert Livingstone on his own to get Gavin back, and it's packed with meaningful moments and heartfelt conversations between all the different characters that had me tearing up at times and laughing out loud at others.

I already loved Carter, but his fierce protectiveness and his way of carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders really touched me. And I ached for Gavin and everything he had to go through. I loved seeing both of their vulnerable sides, but I also enjoyed all their bickering. And Gavin's sassy side was a nice surprise and a treat to read!

The only downside to this book is that it is the last one of the series, but there couldn't be a more perfect ending for it. The Bennett pack will forever hold a piece of my heart and live rent-free in my mind.

Green Creek really forced its way into my heart, bones and head and I couldn’t be happier about it!

Like others I’m sure, I was petrified to read this. TJ Klune, whilst offering immensely cosy and wholesome reads, also has a way of causing fierce amounts of pain - Wolfsong taught us that the hard way!

I feel like I can’t pour my heart out about this book or series in a way that’s justifiable without it feeling slightly spoilery, so instead I’ll just say this: your fear is warranted, but trust TJ to do right by these characters!

Thankyou to Netgalley and Pan Macmillan for this ARC of Brothersong by TJ Klune.

The emotions I felt during this book😢 it’s such a rollercoaster. We follow Carter, the eldest of the Bennet Pack, in his search for rogue wolf, Gavin. But Robert Livingstone will not let Gavin go without a fight. Brothersong is a heartwarming ending to the Green Creek Series, I have grown to love these characters and felt really involved in their journey.
This is a story of found family and it doesn’t disappoint, seeing the developments between Carter and Gavin within their interactions was so heartwarming.
TJ Klune writes these books so beautifully, and I am saddened that this is the last book in their series. I’ve shed tears, sad and happy. What I have to praise Klune for is how he keeps every character unique and it is clear throughout his writing, their personalities really come out of the page.
This whole series really is a must read, it’s emotional and wholesome and truly shows the strength of their pack.

pack, pack, pack

Once again a huge thank you to Pan Macmillan and Netgalley for this ARC!

Yeah, no, listen I can't believe that this series is now over.
It's been such a long time coming to finally see Carter and Gavin get their happily-ever-after but I just can't leave Green Creek, please don't make me *sobs in agony*
This series is literally everything and this installment hurt in all the best ways and yet managed to make it feel so cathartic to finally see the villain get what he deserved. And the focus on friendship and brothers and found family? Yeah, that jumped to a whole new level in this story. The amount of times I teared up was unreal. There's nothing in this series that doesn't deserve a Nobel prize.
All I can say is:
It was candy canes and pinecones and epic and awesome.
