Set in the dreamy backwoods of Oregon, Brothersong is a queer, paranormal romance of burning passion and pack loyalty, and is the fourth book in the Green Creek series.
In the ruins of Caswell, Maine, Carter Bennett glimpsed the truth of what had been right in front of him the entire time. And then it was ripped away from him.
Desperate for answers, Carter takes to the road, leaving family and the safety of his pack behind. But therein lies the danger: wolves are pack animals, and the longer Carter is on his own, the more his mind slips toward the endless void of Omega insanity. Relentless, he pushes on, following the trail left by the feral wolf he tracks: Gavin, the son of Robert Livingstone. The half brother of Gordo Livingstone.
What Carter finds will change the course of the pack forever. Gavin’s history with the Bennett family goes back further than anyone knows. And it includes a secret kept hidden by Carter’s father, Thomas Bennett. But uncovering this knowledge will come at a price: for the sins of the fathers will come to rest on the shoulders of their sons.
Brothersong is the fourth and final book in the beloved Green Creek series by bestselling author TJ Klune. Start the journey with Wolfsong.
My thoughts: Return to Green Creek and the gayest wolf pack ever, where it’s finally time to face their biggest enemy, the twisted Robert Livingstone. He’s been turned into a giant mutant wolf, mad with rage and without his magic. He’s also keeping his son Gavin tortured and bound to him, despite the call of the pack.
Carter, the oldest Bennett brother sets out to find this missing wolf, to bring him home, despite the dangers. But in typical Bennett style he doesn’t tell his brothers where he’s going and they have to come after him.
Livingstone brings the fight to their town, to their pack and to the resilient humans who live alongside them. Can Green Creek survive and what will the pack lose in the fight?
It was about time Carter had his own story after both his brothers and Gordo had told theirs, but his story is also Gavin’s story. Gordo’s half-brother has had a sad time of it and being slowly drained of his life and living in terror with his deranged father isn’t much of a life.
Carter was probably the most straight brother, plenty of women around Green Creek could attest to that, but as with much of the rest of the pack, his mate is not going to fit into his image of himself. Gavin might be damaged, might prefer being a wolf to being human, but he’s always heard Carter, even while his father’s voice drowns out his thoughts.
The final book in the quartet means endings, bringing the story to its conclusion and hopefully peace for the Bennett pack and their friends. If you’ve been enjoying the series, it’s definitely bittersweet, saying goodbye to these characters but I think they deserve it, as all four books have had them fighting for their lives against all manner of terrible things.
