"The beloved fantasy romance sensation by New York Times bestselling author T.J. Klune, about love, loyalty, betrayal, and joy. The Bennett family has a secret: They're not just a family, they're a pack. Ravensong is Gordo Livingstone's story.

Gordo Livingstone never forgot the lessons carved into his skin. Hardened by the betrayal of a pack who left him behind, he sought solace in the garage in his tiny mountain town, vowing never again to involve himself in the affairs of wolves. It should have been enough. And it was, until the wolves came back, and with them, Mark Bennett. In the end, they faced the beast together as a pack...and won.

Now, a year later, Gordo has found himself once again the witch of the Bennett pack. Green Creek has settled after the death of Richard Collins, and Gordo constantly struggles to ignore Mark and the song that howls between them. But time is running out. Something is coming. And this time, it's crawling from within. Some bonds, no matter how strong, were made to be broken."

Please tell me that Gordo is named for Mister Gordo from Buffy the Vampire Slayer!

I loved the first book in this series, and Ravensong is just as good. It continues showing the emotional side of the clan, emotions that you don’t typically see.

My favorite part of this book is the magic. It grabs you and sucks you straight into the story. People transforming into wolves, moving arm tattoos, and witches are so cool!

Told in the POV of Gordo Livingstone, we learn why he was so angry with the Bennett wolfpack. Any questions about Gordo in Wolfsong are answered in Ravensong.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with this ebook to read and review.

Thanks to Netgalley and Tor Books for the advanced readers copy. Also, I believe this is a reprint so these books have been previously published and now are being reprinted under Tor Books.

This is not a stand alone book, you should read the first in the series, Wolfsong.

Alright Mr. Klune, why do you have true love/ mates starting out so young? I don't know why, but it gives me the ick. While the characters are both minors and grow up together, it just seems weird to me.

This story is told from Gordo's perspective which I really appreciated. Klune fills in some questions from the first book by having Gordo split between the past and present day. I do still have questions about magic. It seems you have to be born into it, but like where does it come from. The tattoos seem to boost Gordo, but he had an inherent spark. I feel like the magic system could have been better explained.

I also felt like even though Gordo and Mark are in their late 30s/early 40s they still spoke like teenagers. Which is definitely something I've seen grown men do, but it took me out of the story a bit. I also didn't really like their love story, it felt like there could have been more dialogue or interaction it all just felt so gruff.

Gordo is like Ox and he has felt abandoned by his family and instead found a new one in the Bennetts. However, the Bennetts abandoned him after a great tragedy and now as an adult he struggles to reconnect. I could feel his anguish and loneliness through the page. It was easy to sympathize and understand how these characters kept missing each other only to finally find their way back.

3.5 stars



This is book 2 to the Green Creek series and this dives into the relationship between Gordo and Mark! We do see them mentioned in book 1 and this book 2 is dedicated for them. The chemistry and tension between Gordo and Mark is built from "enemies" to lover trope but the age gap again bothers me like in the first book.


The writing style is similar to book 1 and the time jump is a sudden jump which kinda got me confused.



Thank you netgalley and Tor Publishing for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!

The second in the series.. the book picks up where Wolfsong left off. The story is dual timeline. Gordo and Mark’s story, heartbreaking. This book made me laugh and also made me cry, it broke my heart but then also put it together. It also aligned itself up for the next book. I couldn’t put this book down and I recommend this series! TJ Klune has yet to disappoint

Klune has done it again.

Here we follow Gordo and Mark, and finally get them to give it another shot.

My heart broke while reading this and then was sewn back together again. I cried and laugh. The amount of emotions that come out while I read this series is insane.

Can’t wait to continue!

An eArc was provided to me via NetGalley in return for my honest feedback. These opinions are my own. You can tell because they’re incredibly bias. Kidding!

The Greek Creek series had been showing on my social media for a while before I managed to finally get my hands on a copy of Wolfsong. Normally I don’t buy into that kind of hype but the Tumblr “inspiration” behind it had me too curious to pass it up. Despite my (unfair) determination to think it was just okay, I feel in love with the Bennett pack. So much so that immediately after finishing it, I was filled with a desperate and unrelenting need to get my hands on Ravensong. Now that I have, I can say it did not disappoint.

Ravensong tells the story of Gordo and Mark. The complicated past that binds them and what life post-Richard Collins looks like. But like Wolfsong before it, this book is about more than romantic love. It’s also about the platonic relationships that make us strong. The people in our lives who love and support us. The family we choose. None of these characters are perfect and none of them are really a victim. Sure, they suffer because of their situations, but they don’t let it keep them down. At the core of it all this is a book about love, acceptance, growth, and wisdom.

Klune does a great job of giving his characters distinct voices. Allowing them to stand out from each other while also making sense as part of the whole. His female characters are stellar. They are strong and independent but not at the expense of softness, femininity, or (which so many authors are guilty of) the people around them. His male characters - which make up the majority of the cast - are bright, funny, (mostly) well meaning, and incredibly loyal. But I think, what I love most about them, is that they’re also soft at times and insecure. No person is made of stone and I appreciate that Klune allows them all to be human in that way.

The events as told on this book are not chronological. They bounce between past and present, giving context to what is happening and why they are where they are. I especially enjoyed getting to see the early foundation of Thomas’ pack, however heartbreaking it was in the end.

I absolutely adored this book and I’m just as desperate for Heartsong as I was Ravensong. I cannot wait to see where it goes next and I would highly recommend it. This series is beyond deserving of the love it’s been shown and is sure to get once they make their Tor debut in July/August!

At this point I’m beginning to wonder if TJ Klune can do any wrong. His characters and the worlds that he builds grab you by the heart and refuse to let go. Ravensong is no different. While we experienced these characters previously in Wolfsong, viewing the world through present day and flashbacks via Gordo provides a deeper look into his world and ideas, as well as a different side of the “found family” pack. Klune continues to cover a wide range of emotions in this book, just as in others. The ability to do this successfully and consistently will keep me reading Klune for years to come.

My heart was not left in pieces from reading this one but it was pretty darn close. I don't blame Gordo but I also don't blame Mark. God damn you Thomas Bennett!
Anyway this book is everything and pack is everything.
Nevermore.

Ravensong was not my favourite in the series when I read it the first time, but the older I get, the more I appreciate Gordo and characters who are in their 40's, who have lived life a little more than the others and reason a little bit better. I love the storytelling, and this style of continuing the series under a differnet perspective every time. Now the cliffhanger for book three makes a lot more sense than it did the first time I read it, as well. hoping and praying this series does as well for the public as Cerulean!!!

This is the second in the series and the story of Gordo and Mark. Gordo was a witch for the Bennett family. Mark Bennett loved Gordo and knew early on he wanted him as his mate. These two have a rocky relationship where they either hate each other or they love each other. The passion between these two is off the charts.

This has two time lines past and present. It helped getting the back story of Gordo and his family and how he came to live with the Bennetts.

The Bennetts are one close knit family you wish you could be apart of. Can’t wait to see what happens next as you know the battle goes on.

I enjoyed this book better than Wolfsong. I loved learning more about Gordos character and learning about what occurred before. I thought there was a good balance of flashbacks and present day and the plot moved quickly enough to keep me engaged. Overall I enjoyed this book.

The second book in the Green Creek, Ravensong, follows my favorite character in the series, Gordo, a witch whose magical tattoos including one of a raven sometimes seem to move about his body. Gordo uses his magic to help protect the humans and wolves of his pack, but will it be enough when a dark force from his past returns? The second novel is interesting in that it not only builds from the first novel, Wolfsong, but it also has parts that take place during the first novel as well as flash backs. It gives an interesting depth to see incidents from different points of view. Although self-contained the story is definitely more powerful when read as a larger whole. Ravensong deals with issues of consent, destiny, generational trauma, and self-determination while navigating pack dynamics. I look forward to reading the next two in the series Heartsong and Brothersong which continue the adventures. I received advanced reader copies of Wolfsong and Ravensong from NetGalley and the publisher to provide you with honest reviews.

I will pretty much mimic my review of Wolfsong - TJ Klune is now an autobuy author and I dont know how this didnt get more traction when it was originally published.

The innocence of Ox and Joe's relationship - then the contrast of depth with Mark and Gordo's relationship is unmatched. Again my heart was ripped from my chest, it a way that only TJ can. I am so ready to explore the rest of the pack.

After reading and reviewing Klune’s last three novels, I have come to the conclusion that he is just not the right author for me. I understand why people love his books, but I do not feel the same way.

I freaking love the Green Creek series so far and I loved this one even more than the first. The world and character building are top shelf and the dialogue is hilarious and sincere. TJ Klune can DO. No. WRONG. Five stars!!!

I’d like to say thank you to Netgalley and Tor for the arc copy of this book. That in no way alters my thoughts of opinion in this review.

Ravensong is a captivating and emotional read that delves into the world of Gordo and his point of view.
While I enjoyed the book and its story, the beginning of the book starts off in the middle of a scene from Wolfsong, just in Gordos point of view, which really threw me off. Despite this, the book is well-written and engaging.
That being said, I have to say while I enjoyed this book and getting to know more about Gordo, I truly enjoyed Wolfsong more.
Overall, Ravensong is a great read for those who enjoy emotional and captivating stories.

So, I really enjoyed "Wolfong" (the first in the Green Creek series), and I think I *might* have enjoyed "Ravensong" even more! As I did with "Wolfsong," I stayed up late into the night because I just had to know what happened next.

All the same feedback from "Wolfsong" applies here as well: the pacific northwest setting, the wolfish found family, and the elements of magic coexisting with a small town community gave me Twilight vibes (but just the good parts, and none of the weird/sketchy parts!).

One thing that I appreciated about "Ravensong" was that the main character was a little older - - - and thus saw the world through older/more mature eyes (caveat: that doesn't mean he made good choices... but there was a "world-worn maturity" to the voice of this novel). Like with "Wolfsong," the book spans a fairly significant period of time, and TJ covers that ground beautifully. I love that we get to see, through flashbacks, the relationship between Gordo and Mark - from its beginning when they are still children through its rough middle to its beautiful resolution.

There is no shortage of action or tension to keep this story moving along, but you never feel rushed. For me, the pacing was spot on. I was (again!) left wanting to know more about all of these characters (packpackpack), so I can't wait to dive into both "Heartsong" and "Brothersong." In short, this was a very fun read - I'm so happy to see this series getting re-released into the world!

A very solid continuation to Wolfsong, Klune's first book in the series. The narration jumps to Gordo, the pack witch, and his internal voice could not be more different than that of Ox. I will say I enjoyed being in Ox's head a lot more, Gordo's stubbornness is absolutely the point of his character but I found him a lot more personally infuriating. Which I think was partially the point, his obstinance and refusal to process his own feelings was integral to his character all along, even in the first book. Doesn't mean I have to like it though lmao. The plot of it was amazing, I wasn't sure if it was going to be completely its own story, or a continuation of the main plot of Wolfsong, and it carried through extremely well, maintained some enemies and brought new ones to the forefront. I'll be incredibly excited to continue this series, they had better leave my baby [redacted] ALONE... (redacted to not spoil the lead-in to book 3)

Beautiful follow up to Wolfsong! TJ Klune has such a way with his worlds and it's so easy to fall in love with every single one of this characters. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
