Quick Synopsis – We’re back in Green Creek baby and this time Gordo is telling the story. This story is told between past and present perspectives. There’s fluid wolves, omega trouble, and hunters on the prowl.

Song this reminds me of – Bad Moon Rising – Creedence Clearwater Revival

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.

For the most part I thought that this book was fairly predictable and I had some issues with the plot. I’m gonna stick with 3 outta 5 stars for this one.
