Wolfsong

There I was, thinking I'm about to read a cozy, gay werewolf fantasy book with lots of found family and a bit fighting (for love). What I got was enough angst to make me tense as a wolf ready to pounce at its prey. So much angst. But it’s so damn worth it.

The Green Creek Saga feels like coming home. "Wolfsong” was the first TJ Klune book I read and is still my secret favorite. There are only a few other found families that can compete with the Bennetts. Emotional, queer and sometimes tragic, “Wolfsong” is a werewolf story first and anything else second, but it also deals with complicated/toxic father relationships and finding a place to belong—like many of Klune’s other works. Once you'll let the Bennetts into your heart you'll carry them in it forever!

It's ineffable how much I love the Green Creek series and how much I adore every single word written on those pages. I laughed, I ugly cried (so so much) and I am simply amazed by such talent. Nothing makes me happier than getting my heart broken repeatedly by one TJ Klune.

Be prepared to be broken - and then to heal again. This book ist not only a cute queer werewolf romance, but also a story about the family we find along the way of growing up, about losing and finding what really matters, about love and hate and how close those two things can be, and about a truly memorable protagonist, who is learning to fight for himself and the ones he truly loves. When Ox meets Joe, Joe hasn't spoken in a very long time. But the second he lays his eyes - and his nose - on him, Joe knows: Ox belongs to him. It doesn't matter that he is seven years older and that his father tends to think of him as slowly and stupid, Joe sees so much more in him. But Joes family has a secret, that is going to change their lives. "A werewolf is courting me with a dead rabbit. There's nothing subtle here."

TJ Klune's writing pulled me in and refused to let go. Wolfsong is a wonderful story that balances comfort and tragedy, breaking your heart and then putting it back together. Klune created a love story that cemented him as one of my favourite authors.
