I love that this book actually lives up to the hype surrounding it.

It was unexpected but amazing. I was intrigued the whole time and just could not put it down.

Thank you to Tor for my arc.


This was a bit different than what I’m used to from Tj Klune. I’m not sure if i just wasn’t in the mood for this but it just ended up not being for me. I didn’t hate it. I just wasn’t completely amazed by it.

“You don’t get to decide what you’re worth because you obviously don’t know. You don’t get to decide that anymore because you have no fucking idea that you’re worth everything.” - I wouldn't have much to say if someone was yelling this to my face either, Oxnard!

This is not the love story that I thought I would get. Werewolf-human bond was going strong here. While it had bit of Twilightish themes, it was not cringe. This was a proper fantasy-romance book. I like how TJ Klune can dive into relationships and show the real emotions behind it.

If you are a TJ Klune fan and want to read a spicy book about humans and werewolves, dig in!

This love story tore me apart. I loved the characters so much and they're childhood friendship set the stage for a tragic build to an adult love story that just left me sobbing. It was a believable story with richly written characters that go through a lot and because you care about them so greatly you care about their struggles, their successes and their love story. While tough things happen this book ultimately is about family and coming home, it's comfortable and has heart. I highly recommend it. My only caveat is the spicy scenes are explicit.

2.5 stars. This book was entirely too long. Like at least 300 pages too long. By the end I was just pushing through to be done with it. I really thought this book could have been split into three separate books. And then there are still sequels?

The plot itself was really interesting and I loved the concept of Ox, a human, being brought into this werewolf family/pack and discovering everything that is so special about himself. The friends and family element was beautiful and the way they all fought for each other was great.

I feel like this was really repetitive when it came to the heartfelt or emotional processing - how many times can Ox talk about his dad’s parting words without it being overkill? Like it was at least once every other chapter. I understand that those traumas stick with him and impact him over time, but every time it was brought up again it was basically for the same purpose and I was just tired of reading the same thing over and over.

Mark and Elizabeth were the best, I loved them and the other guys from the garage. Is it bad that Ox and Joe were probably my least favorite characters?

4.5 stars

I don’t think there’s much I can say about this amazing book that hasn’t already been said a hundred times before. The story was intriguing and pulled me right in. Wolfsong is a gut wrenching story about family and duty and above all else, love. It will make your heart hurt, but it will also heal you and make you laugh. I loved the writing overall, but I did feel that some of the repeated phrases got a little tiresome by the end.

Joe and Ox had my emotions all over the place and I cried several times while reading this book. Their journey (as painful as it was) and the ending were exactly what they needed to be though. I loved all of the characters and this is definitely one of my favorite found families. I’m excited to continue on with the series and get Mark and Gordo’s story next.

I listened to a majority of the book and thought Kirt Graves did a great job with the narration. I wish he had used more variation in his voices though, since there were a few times where it was unclear who was speaking. It was still a great audio experience though.

I loved this book. The characters, the angst, the werewolf lore and story, the paranormal romance, the yearning - it created the perfect atmosphere for this story. I think the characters are multifaceted and flawed which makes the story more likable and made their trials and tribulations more plausible. It gave me Twilight nostalgia in the best way - PNW, a family with a secret that comes and goes, and a main character thrown into their midst. This was so much better than Twilight IMO and the queer romance was great. Some people may not like the possessiveness of characters, death, violence, torture, kidnapping, and abuse.

I LOVE Tj Klune. Like have only given his books 5 stars.....but this was...not it. At all. I felt so bored and had no connection to any of the characters. Also I was given such a big ick from the relationship between some of the characters and how they were like icky possessive towards Ox. Not a hit. I will read from TJ Klune again but this was so not it for me.

3.5 stars

I enjoyed this book it was just SO long!! It could have easily been 150 pages less. I did enjoy Ox a lot though. His story line was so heartwarming. Without giving too much away I just loved the connections he made and how much growth he had throughout the book.

Thank you netgalley for the earc in exchange for an honest review.

Talk about a book taking you by surprise. It shouldn't have, it is a TJ Klune book after all. To sum up the book in one sentence? Angst. That's all. Enough said.
But really, this was so much deeper than a ya paranormal lovemance. It was about heartbreak and trust and failure and rising above and more failure and did I say Trust? Read it...you may not like it, but you might too!

This book wasn't for me. I don't really know how to review it, because it kinda left me just scratching my head. Maybe it was the length? I'm not sure.

I received an ARC ebook from the publisher. I rated this book 2 starts out of 5. I have recently enjoyed two other books by this author and was looking forward to another book by him. I started out really enjoying it and thought it would likely make me cry by the end. Unfortunately, as the story progressed, the storyline felt silly and repetitive with some unhealthy possessive relationships. I found myself wanting to DNF the book but decided to stick with it until the end and I honestly wish I had stopped reading when I realized it wasn't the book for me. I will still look forward to other works by this author, but this series is not for me.

I am newer to the Klune world but thoroughly enjoyed Puppets this year so i was excited to be approved for this series coming back out. I wasn't really sure what to expect but I was pulled in Immediately. The writing is so well done and everything flowed so effortlessly. I fell in love with the small town and with Ox and his mother. The characters in this book really are what made this one for me. There really wasn't a character that I didn't absolutely love, except of course Richard. There were so many places in this book that i laughed outloud, clenched my fists, and cried. I cannot wait to read the rest of this trio and hear the stories of the other characters more In depth. This is a trilogy that will hold a place in my heart and my shelves for a long time.

The first book I read by TJ Klune was "The House in the Cerulean Sea," and it quickly became one of my favorites. Up until then, I had never read a cozy fantasy like this, and I absolutely loved how wholesome it was. It definitely left me wanting to explore more books by this author. The writing is very easy to understand, and I cherished the emotions this book contained. Every scene felt meaningful, and it brought a smile to my face numerous times. This book filled my heart with warmth. I adored the banter between the characters, and the strong connections among them created a beautiful found family that I couldn't help but love.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

This page-turning fantasy romance is the first in the Green Creek series, the rest of which I will be inhaling VERY soon (they’re all getting a reprint with amazing cover art!).
M/M love story, but make it wolfish shapeshifters? Um, yes please! I love the family dynamics, the pining, the magical elements, the alpha sexy scenes…and can’t wait to read about some of the other wolf brothers next! Have you read this series yet?
And I LOVE this new cover!!!

I will read and love everything to Kline writes. This book was no different! Everyone needs to read this.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and Tor Publishing Group, Tor Books for providing this Arc in exchange for an honest review.

T.J. Klune could sell me ocean front property in Arizona! He's one of those authors I can pick up and know I'll like whatever he's written.

Wolfsong was good but sooooo long!! I never felt bored reading it but just felt like I was getting no where in the story. Mature content and lanuage.

Wolfsong by TJ Klune is a phenomenal paranormal queer romantasy. This story had me so invested in every character from the very beginning which is no suprise. Klune's writing never ceases to capture my attention. As always this story flows just like watching a movie; watching it unfold in front of your eyes.

I simply cannot wait to jump into the next title in the Green Creek series. I'm in love!

While I overall enjoyed this story, there were some elements that didn't work for me. While the relationship between the two main characters isn't "official/consummated" until both are past the age of 18, I wasn't fond of the fact the an underage Joe had chosen Ox as his "mate" when Ox was already an adult. The story pacing also felt slow at times, and there were phrases and descriptions that were repeated a lot.
