I have no words. 

The Bennett pack! MY HEART. My heart is being squeezed with feelings. Gordo… Gordo, Gordo, Gordo. The story of Gordo and Mark was so heartbreakingly beautiful. This book is all angst. But it has a happy ending! (An exciting, action packed, edge-of-my-seat, upsetting, and still somehow so-totally-satisfying ending.) 

It’s official. I’m a dedicated TJ Klune fan. I’ll read anything this author puts out. It’s simply incredible how many different varieties of emotion this author can wring out of me!

Was it as good as wolfsong? No
Did I still devour it in 2 days? Yes

This is the second book in the Green Creek series and it follows Gordo and Marks story - although all the familiar characters in the Bennet pack are present. I really loved how this book started at about the halfway point of wolfsong
right around the time when Joe, Carter, Kelly, and Gordo leave following Thomas' death. It is a pretty pivotal moment in the story and it was really interesting to read other characteries perspectives
. 

The book was great, character development was great, plot was great, just overall - really great.

Gimme all the emotionally stunted gay werewolves please!!

(m/m, werewolves, romance). Kirt Graves' narration makes this book. Gordo feels so lived in. (spoilers to follow in thread)

Things I like about Ravensong:
a kinda flawed mom (it seems like otherwise, every mom in the series is perfect and every father either SUPER sucks or significantly sucks). I also really like meeting Rico, Tanner, & Chris as children. The characterization of the hunters is compelling, and the set up of Caswell folks working with them does a really good job slowly building the creeping dread.
Overall, it's a great setup for the next books.

Things I like less: the word "lowly" as in "growled lowly". IDK why I hate it.
Robert Livingstone doesn't seem to have a single redeeming quality. Parts of the sex scene really don't work for me. And I'm not 100% convinced about the WHY of Mark and Gordo. Also- where in the Ravensong narrative does the moment that Ox recounts in Wolfsong happen where he sees Gordo and Mark go to the movies?
