Brothersong

I literally adore everything I have ever read from TJ Klune and in Brothersong (with another magnificent cover!), it is no different. Phenomenal on every level!!

Tj Klune has the power to break me with a lot his books but I spent most of this story crying! Whether it was happy or sad, I am grateful for all of it! The Green Creek series is a must read. I am sad that this is the last book in the series as this world is so easy to full into.

It was candy canes and pinecones and epic and awesome. It was dirt and leaves and rain. It was grass and lake water and sunshine. It was thump and thump and thump.

The fourth and final Book of the Green Creek series follows Carter, the oldest Bennett brother and picks up after Book 3's finish with him following Gavin into the wilderness.

We get flashbacks of Carter's childhood as the eldest and his role as protector towards Kelly and Joe, and every extra little bit we're shown about this family just makes me love them more.

I love how Klune writes about love. The love between brothers, the love between parent and child, the love for your friends, and of course romantic love and how it's not always what you expect. I read falling in love being described once as "happening slowly, then all at once" and I think that describes Carter perfectly.

All in all if there were 100 of these books I'd happily read them all.

This series has been such a delight to read and I loved it but will so miss the characters now. They found their was into my heart. A great final (sob...) book.

I have loved every single one of the books in this series and this was such a great ending.
I’m so sad it’s over now and I’m going to miss these characters so much. I can see this being a series I read time and time again.
T J Klune is an auto-buy author for me, his stories are just incredible, the characters, the found family. Just perfect.

Absolute freaking 5-star!

I binge read the series before I was invited to read this e-arc but I'll take any excuse to pick up this series again.

Carter and Gavin are smol beans who deserve all the hugs in the world - Carter being selfish and going after Gavin felt like a breath of fresh air, we know that he loves his siblings and that he would do anything for them but him refusing to be without Gavin was so ahhh. I love the way they bring Thomas into the story, him knowing about Gavin and keeping it a secret to they way he protects his family even after his death.

And the Bennett brothers reuniting! Absolutely amazing.

Beautifully written - I need to go back and re read the rest!
Thanks to Net Galley, the author and publishers for the ARC

This was such a wonderful conclusion to the Green Creek saga, with everything wrapped up really well. I cried a lot. No notes, just tears.

Brothersong by T.J. Klune is the emotional and action-packed finale to the beloved Green Creek series. This isn't a book you can jump into without context, this is a series finale and you know it.

The story centres on Carter Bennett, the eldest of the werewolf Bennett brothers. Reeling from a revelation in the prior book (haha, see what I did there?), Carter embarks on a desperate quest that forces him to confront his role in the pack and his own identity. Along the way, he encounters Gavin, a feral wolf with a mysterious past. Who loves bacon. The bacon is VERY important (jk).

Klune excels at weaving humour and angst together. The Bennett brothers' banter provides laugh-out-loud moments, even as Carter grapples with serious emotional turmoil. The romance between Carter and Gavin is a slow burn that feels all the more satisfying for its development.

Brothersong is a must-read for fans of the Green Creek series. It delivers on the series' promise of complex characters, fantastical elements, and a heartwarming found family dynamic. Be prepared for danger, self-discovery, and a hefty dose of Klune's signature charm.

I’ve never read a series quite like this. I loved it. The way the characters internal thoughts are written so so unique to me. The banter is some of the best I’ve read and I don’t think I’ve ever been so emotional reading a book like I have this one. Packpackpack.

TJ Klune should really consider traveling back in time to create more of the Bennett brothers, because there’s no way that Green Creek series has only four books. It's simply not enough and I need more. Nearly two thousand pages of the story of the Bennett family, where I shared tears of joy and sadness with them, where I was filled with happiness when each of them found their happy ending, where I was excited, scared and anxious with them, is not enough. I can't believe that one of my most beloved series, which means everything to me, has come to an end. I will miss this family with my entire heart.


Brothersong — the final book about Carter and his mysterious timber wolf, who turned out to be Gavin, was the one I was looking forward to reading the most, so I felt like the happiest person on earth when I closed this book after finishing it and I was close to crying with happiness because of how much I loved this story and these two. Somewhere inside I even felt that this couple might become my favorite and I was right, as Gavin and Carter turned out to be everything I dreamed of. They may even have knocked Gordo and Mark — my favorite duo so far, from first place to second. It's still hard for me to believe that my favorite grumpy witch and his wolf lost their spot on the podium, but I'm a big fan of couples who have great banter, especially when they have a grumpy/sunshine dynamic like Carter and Gavin, so that happened.

As I mentioned above, this pair did not disappoint me, so obviously neither did our heroes individually. Carter — my playful, funny, laid-back mayor of Green Creek, but definitely more mature in this book — which made me tear a little, as I couldn't believe that in his story he was already a thirty-year-old man, and not that funny teenager from the first books. It just made me think "Damn, they grow up so fast." And our second main character — Gavin Livingstone, our grumpy, stubborn, but at the same time freaking cute Timber Wolf who was obsessed with pink. It's a shame that his character wasn't introduced earlier and not just at the end of Heartsong, but at least he got his own story, which I enjoyed a lot, so let's just say that's enough for me.

As a romance reader, the fact that this book was largely devoted to the romance between Carter and Gavin literally made me hug my Kindle. Ravensong — Mark and Gordo's story didn't focus enough on them falling in love, at least in my opinion, so I was overjoyed to see that Carter and his Timber Wolf got more romantic scenes. The beginning of their story, when Carter was looking for Gavin, was quite depressing, but after finding him — which turned out not to be the easiest, but fortunately had a happy ending — the book became much funnier and before I knew it I was already at the last chapter.


I haven't talked about Bennet Pack yet, so let's get to them now. What can I say here, I love them, I love them, I love them, I love them. Where can I find this type of family? Gavin, Elizabeth, Gordo, Carter Mark, Kelly, Joseph, Robbie, Rico, Ox, Bambi, Joshua, Tanner, Chris, Jessie, I just love them all. Everyone got their very well-deserved happy ending, and I had tears in my eyes because of it — happy tears, of course.

The ending was literally perfect. I wondered how TJ Klune would end this series after everything that happened in the previous book, but it couldn't have ended any better. I mean, the ending might have been better if it didn't exist at all and it wasn't the last book, but what can I do. I will miss this series so much!

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!

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!

Sadly this was the last one. I loved this series so much! I'm not much of a fantasy or shapeshifter reader, so I just tried Wolfsong but then I got hooked! So I read Ravensong and Heartsong too and couldn't wait to read Brothersong. And now it’s over.

I loved Joe and Ox, Gordo and Mark and Kelly and Robbie. I loved the bond between the three brothers, especially the way Carter loves Kelly. That love is powerful, infinite and so incredibly strong. And finally I loved Carter and Gavin.

This was a lovely ending of the series. Now I really need to read T'J. Klune's other books because they seem to be wonderful as well.

Brothersong is the conclusion to the Green Creek Saga and I couldn't have wished for a better ending to one of my favourite stories. After Heartsong I truly didn't believe Brothersong could top it, but the book was fantastic. I cried, I laughed and I said goodbye to characters who have been with me for the course of now four books. I will for sure do a reread soon, since I am truly not ready to let the Bennets go.
TJ Klune again created a masterpiece with all the emotions to feel.

This series has been emotional and I’ve loved every single second of it. These wolves will live in my heart forever.
Packpackpack
The bonds they share as a pack are magical but the bond between the brothers Carter Kelly and Joe is something else. I loved that it wasn’t all about finding your mate, it was so much more than that. It was family it was home it was packpackpack.
This series was like pinecones and candy canes it was epic and awesome!
I want to re read them all again already. I’ve loved TJ Klunes other books but this series is my favourite, I’m a massive wolf fan anyway but this was so much more. The writing is phenomenal, Green Creek sounds like the most epic town, and the people, even all the side characters are so interesting. Rico makes me smile every time he talks and Will, oh Will, what a man!
I can’t wait to buy this series and display it somewhere special.

This is it. The entire Green Creek series has led to this book. It not only hits the marks it needs to hit, it obliterates them. Every storyline is threaded through with drama and danger and excitement and romance, and still manages to be tied up in a perfect bow to end the series. While it's sad that this is the last book, I find comfort in knowing that whenever I want to return to these stories, i know the pack will always be there to howl me home.

OMG THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING!

I thought Heartsong was going to be my favorite of the series but Gavin has actually stolen my heart and I hope he never gives it back!

We know that Carter went off to find Gavin who basically sacrificed himself to go with that horrible Richard Livingstone and what follows made me feel every emotion there is!

There were some scenes that had me snorting with laughter, the mash potato, the fork and ‘The Book’!!! There was also all the faves from the previous books, loyalty, love, family….and pack.

‘You make me feel safe. Thump. Thump. Thump.’

‘And that’s that.’
I can’t believe it’s over…..

I am completely, utterly, shamelessly wordless.
Coming up with something to describe this book, let alone this series it´s almost impossible, because just one word comes to mind: MASTERPIECE.

I knew Carter and Gavin´s story would have been my favourite. But what is the meaning of favourite when ALL the books in these serie are perfection and were my favourite at some point in my life?

TJ, I can and will give my soul to you, afterall I am already giving you my money, so same same.

Anyway. Since apparently I cannot explain myself, here is a list of things I likes about the book:
- GAVIN!
- CARTER!
- The book from Kelly and Joe.
- Joe vulnerability.
- GAVIN!
- Ox wolf Jesus.
- Chris and Tanner platonic whatever (I need at least a novella about them).
- CARTER!
- Rico´s bright soul and Bambi girlboss greatness.
- Robbie and Gordo´s relationship
- Elisabeth
- GAVIN
- Will and his sense of humor
- CARTER

10000 starts and all my fucking love to this serie!

Right now I’m a huge mixed up ball of feelings - I have laughed, I have cried, I have gasped out loud and I’ve shouted at this book. All of this sat on a sunbed surrounded by strangers who now think I’m a complete lunatic and I don’t care!

I won’t say that this is the most actioned packed or emotional book of the series but, it’s the perfect ending to this amazing series. It begins at such a low and dark point in the Bennett family lives, with Carter very much lost, alone and desperate to find Gavin that my poor heart was breaking for them.

Despite this, it still broke into such wonderful heart warming and wonderful moments through Carter’s flashbacks to his childhood and his memories of his brothers, particularly Kelly his tether. It truly fleshed out the story of the brothers’ relationship and life together that was both emotional and at times funny.


Plus there’s the whole Carter/Gavin relationship, which was so wonderful to see develop beyond what we’d seen in the previous books in the series - “Stupid Carter.”

Their 121 interactions, though relatively brief were quite profound and I truly adored seeing Gavin come back into himself and truly dazzle us! I would loved for there to have been more time for us to discover them together but, the pace of the story needed the reunification of the pack and that small quiet Christmas was truly heart warming. It was lovely to see Gavin slot into place within this family and just how earnestly both he and Carter worked and fought for their future together.

I will say that at one point I totally had to put this book down - my heart was broken and I was truly crying, let’s be honest bawling my eyes out! So either damn, this is a good book or I’m getting very soft in my old age - I’ll leave that judgement up to you but, this is the final book in the series and that ending truly closed it perfectly. Although, if I was being critical I could ask for the book to be broken into two, the first giving Carter and Gavin the time and space to explore their relationship more, and the second to give a more detailed ending to the series but, I suspect then there would be complaints that it could all have been one book! You can’t please all of the people all of the time!

Brothersong is a beautiful ending to the Green Creek Series and I’m so sad it’s finished but, I’m also so happy for the conclusion it came to. Thank you so much Tor, Pan MacMillan and NetGalley for the arc of Brothersong by TJ Klune in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
