Brothersong by T.J. Klune is an emotionally charged and heartwarming conclusion to The Green Creek series. At its core, it’s the tender and complex love story between Carter and Gavin. Their relationship is messy and layered, full of personal struggles, past trauma, and the slow but powerful evolution of their bond. Klune masterfully explores their love—not just as a romantic connection, but as one rooted in trust, healing, and mutual respect. The raw vulnerability between the two men makes their story deeply moving.

Beyond the romance, Brothersong is a celebration of family in all its forms. The pack, bound by loyalty and love, feels like a true, unbreakable unit. The bonds between Carter, Gavin, and their chosen family are epic and meaningful, providing the emotional backbone of the story. This sense of belonging, the strength of the pack, and the unwavering support of loved ones are as central to the narrative as the couple’s love.

Klune’s writing is filled with emotional depth, bringing to life characters who are complex, flawed, and wholly deserving of happiness. Brothersong is a poignant and unforgettable exploration of love, family, and finding home. Fans of the series will find this fourth book to be a beautiful and fulfilling conclusion, leaving readers with a sense of emotional resolution and warmth.

This is a bittersweet review for the last in the Green Creek series that follows the lives of the Bennett family. I’m so sad that this is the last book as I love this series so much. This book mainly revolves around the story of Carter as he tries to follow the trail of Gavin, his soulmate. This series has everything - werewolves and witches, love and family, loyalty and community but also action and adventure with an awesome monster/villain.No spoilers just go and get reading. I’m jealous that I can’t read it for the first time again. Pack, pack pack… I will miss you . Many many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this novel in return for an honest review

I have really enjoyed all of the books in the Green Creek series. After listening to the previous 3 books on audio, it was an interesting change to read Brothersong digitally.

Each book follows a different member of the Bennett pack, and I have been particularly impressed by how the author makes each book so distinct. The voice of each character shines through the writing.

Brothersong follows Carter, the eldest of the Bennett brothers. I have appreciated seeing how his character has developed so much over the series.

I felt very moved by his story and his relationship with his brothers. Carter has to come to terms with things about himself and his family history while discovering his mate. Following him on this journey was both exciting and emotional.

This addition to the series was very emotionally charged and also had some intense action scenes. I’m not sure whether this is the final book in the series, but if it is it was a fitting conclusion. But if T J Klune writes any more books in the series I’ll be very happy as I have come to love these characters!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC.

This series may be one of the best I've ever read for character development and LGBTQ+ representation, and this final installment was no exception. Carter's story was just as engaging and exciting as the previous books and Klune manages to bring the series to a satisfying conclusion without compromising on any of the characters or their relationships. Be warned, if you read this series you will suffer emotional trauma, but in a good way!

It is finished! I have loved this series and hate that it has ended but what an ending!

I love Klune's writing, and my favourite book of the year will surely be Somewhere Beyond the Sea, and yet Brothersong was also the perfect way to finish this series. The Green Creek series starts with Wolfsong where we read about Oxnard Matheson whose father told him would amount to nothing all his life and yet he meets Joe, a young wolf and part of the Bennett family pack, and his life changes forever.

We have read the stories of Gordo, the Bennett's witch in Ravensong and Robbie in Heartsong and know all about Robert Livingstone who is Gordo's father and a terrible witch. We know all about Michelle and the fight to be the alpha of all and in Brothersong it starts with Carter's story, one of the Bennett brothers who has left to search for Gavin, Gordo's half brother. But on the return to Green Creek there is much to sort out and the pack will not be protected forever. The town must support the werewolves and remind them that love conquers all.

Gosh it all sounds faintly ridiculous when you write it down but I love this little pack of gay werewolves and these books always have a lot to say about loyalty, love and acceptance as well as representation for all kinds of love. Ox has been my favourite character from the beginning and I loved that we came back to his story and he gets his moment to shine.

I'm a little sad it's all over and will be getting a gorgeous purple edition of the book soon. Ah what a lovely series... 💜

In the fourth and final book in the Green Creek series, we follow Carter as he leaves the pack to track down Gavin, the wolf he is so used to having by his side

Gavin has recently had a family bombshell dropped and what this will reveal will shake the of not just the Bennets but their ties with the Livingstone line as well

Secrets and long forgotten histories are Unearthed and the Pack will need to deal with the threats in the now, whilst also processing things that have passed and how this changes what they thought they knew

Great conclusion of the series, obviously a lot of this is Carter and Gavins story but as it is book four, and the last in the series, we pick up with the other characters we have grown to love and see everything all come together

All and all, a great series with family, love and what it means to be Pack

TJ Klune has created something truly special with this series!

Brothersong is full of joy and pain and love and friendship. I love how this book is able to pull you in and make you feel a part of the packpackpack.

Being back in Green Creek has been such a pleasure; I love getting to revisit old characters and have been waiting patiently for Carter’s story.

“All I care about is that he sees me. Like, really sees me. And I see him.”

I don’t think I can adequately articulate how precious these queer wolves are to me. Beautifully written with such a wonderful depiction of family and loss and community. Every single book in the series has made me cry and this was no exception. I really hope we have the chance to explore beyond the core Bennett pack!

I can’t recommend this highly enough! Even if you aren’t one for paranormal romances, I think this queer wolfpack will change your mind!

A good TJ Klune book. I was waiting for this tome to see those characters again. Carter was my favourite character in all the books so I'm so happy to see him again. It was great divertissement and plot.

"Brother, wolf, pack, love"
A truly phenomenal ending to the stunning Green Creek Series.

The fourth and final instalment of the Green Creek series focuses on the Bennet brother Carter and his blossoming relationship with mysterious wolf Gavin. I have loved all of the books and separate romantic relationships within the series but I personally found this one the most special the grumpy x sunshine dynamic was done perfectly and the banter between the two gave me all the butterflies they also had a special kind of magic where they gave each other the support to find themselves as individuals and learn how to be their own people and part of a family.

On top of the romantic element of the book the storyline itself was breath-taking it wrapped the entire series up beautifully and gave us as readers even more of the perfect found family element that encapsulates this whole series. I found myself sobbing and reading through blurry eyes throughout the end of the book and although it was completely perfect I am sad that there will be no more books for one of the best series I have ever read.
TJ Klune is an absolute master at writing feel good, found family, LGBTQIA+ books and I will always recommend him and continue to read his books for as long as her publishes

I seem to love everything TJ Klune writes and this was no exception. Ideally you need to have read the others in the series for this to fully make sense, but it is a brilliant way to finish this series and Carter and the pack will stay with you for a long time after you have put the book down.

It was candy Canes and pinecones and epic and Awesome.


This book BROKE me. I didn't think I'd love a couple like Joe and Ox. However Carter and Gavin had me from page 1.

This heartbreaking ending was just perfection.

PERFECT 😭

Anything TJ writes, I will read 😂 and this last book in the Greek creek series was everything I wanted it to be and more 🤩

Carter and Gavin’s relationship was so interesting to read about. Elizabeth is a precious angel as always and the rest of the Greek creek family behave as they always have, sarcastic and stupid but surrounded by a whole lot of love.

What can I say, except 'Pack Pack Pack' for life? I absolutely loved Brothersong - Carter and Gavin are both self-sacrificing loyal idiots and their story was full of tension and angst, but also humour and comfort. Pack loyalty and family are strong themes, and fraternal relationships between both Bennett and Livingstone brothers are heartfelt and real. Gavin and Gordo tentatively reaching out to each other, and Kelly, Joe and Ox chewing out Carter for severing his link to the pack.
“I can’t believe we spent almost a year and drove thousands of miles just to watch you fail at flirting."

Slotting back into pack life for a last time after Carter returned to Green Creek with Gavin was easy, if emotional.
As the last book on the series, Brothersong tied up all the loose ends - so plot took significant focus, at times taking attention off the central couple. I had expected this and loved seeing everyone on page, but I would have absolutely loved more Carter and Gavin. Their dynamic is amazing, and I particularly loved Gavin's sass. He may not like talking, but everything he had to say hit just right!
"Does Gavin make you happy?”“He drives me up the wall and makes me want to tear my hair out.”

I absolutely adored this final installment and will just add a few favourite things here:
- Thump, thump, thump.
- tether brothers
- Stupid Carter.
- the queerest pack in existence
- Gavin's DIVA shirt
- that annotated book

I am absolutely not ready to say goodbye to the Bennett pack. If you haven't yet started the Green Creek series, now's the perfect time to pick it up because all four titles are out. And if you've already read the books, it's the perfect time for a re-read, or to finish the series!

Yes, the beginning was a little slow.
Yes, the whole Robert Livingstone plotline makes no sense.

But I'm not here for the plot. I'm here for the romance, the found family and the fact that I was already crying with the first chapter.

I love Carter. I love Gavin. I fucking love Elizabeth Bennett. I love the pack and I would happily read about them doing absolutely nothing because all I want is to be surrounded by them.

I'm still waiting on a novella on Thomas and Elizabeth's love story.

After completely falling in love with Wolfsong (book one in the Green Creek series), finding that same connection with the other books would be hard to achieve. The second novel was fantastic but it did not top my love for the first and unfortunately my love for Brothersong did not either. Now, I’m not saying the books were bad or I didn’t like them because I certainly did. The way Klune weaves intense romance with family and community bond is second to none but there is something about Ox and Joe that will hold my heart forever.
Brothersong follows the third Bennett brother, Carter who has a special place in his heart for Gavin. Gavin remained a mystery since Ravensong as this consistent presence among the pack but was important to everyone nonetheless. Turns out, Gavin is half-brother to Gordo. At the end of Heartsong we see Gavin shift to human pleading with Robert to leave the Bennett pack alone if he leaves with him. Carter is goofy and tries to put an easy breezy image forward. I think Brothersong was the first chance we got as readers to see a deeper side to him. Now, we witnessed his grief and determination to protect his family in the previous books but this book provided an even deeper insight into his mind. Previously Carter said he was straight but slowly comes to the realisation that he is bisexual and that Gavin is his mate.
A large portion of this book is Carter trying to find Gavin. After leaving with his father, Gavin fought to keep everyone safe from this beast Robert became but Carter is not having this. Not only because they’re mates but because Gavin is such a vital member of their pack and family. This is the only book in the series where I felt it dragged a little bit. The hunt and chasing down of Gavin lasted quite a while and then the last 50% kind of breezed by unexpectedly.
Their connection was fantastic. It stemmed from a deep companionship that held no expectations so when their romance bloomed, any development was a delight to read.
I don’t really know what to do now this series has concluded. I read a lot of different books but this series hit me so unexpectedly I needed a second to gather my thoughts. It may be one of the only series I reread but nothing can compare to reading Wolfsong for the first time, not holding any expectations for what’s to come.
Thank you for such a fantastic series. I’d recommend this to anyone and everyone.

🐺❤️🐺BOOK REVIEW - BROTHERSONG by T.J. Klune🐺❤️🐺

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5/5 stars)

It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to Green Creek with Brothersong. T.J. Klune wraps up the series with Carter’s story, and it’s an emotional rollercoaster. Carter’s journey to find Gavin and confront his past had me hooked and fully invested. Plus, human Gavin is incredible - 5 stars for that guy alone.

The dynamic between Carter and Gavin is intense, heartfelt, and a bit bro-jock. If I am honest, they are probably my least favourite pairing in the series, but by no means are they poorly done. There were a few moments where the pacing slowed, and some interactions felt off, but overall, the emotional depth and final resolution were incredibly satisfying.

Brothersong is a fitting end to a beloved series full of love, family, and heart. I’ll miss the Bennett pack and all the adventures we’ve shared. If you’ve come this far, you’ll enjoy how it all wraps up.

TJ Klune can made me cry buckets, laugh out loud, and reading till very late in the night.
This is the last in this series and it made cry/laugh/read till late in the night.
The last in an excellent series that I will surely miss.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Brothersong follows Carter as he’s looking for his mate Gavin to free him from his father Robert Livingston even at risk of becoming an Omega himself. It’s a story of self discovery and acceptance, family and love.
Personally I didn’t love this book, but I think my problems lie in the book being about werewolves, because some parts of it felt a bit awkward. Also the whole relationship between Carter and Kelly felt completely off, it almost felt romantic which was quite uncomfortable to read. Also Carter as a main character was not the best, I related to his struggles with being the oldest sibling, however I didn’t like how he kept calling Gavin dude or man even after he was told through the whole book to stop calling him that.
Gavin on the other end I really liked, and I would have probably enjoyed this book more if he was the MC.
The narration style was great, the author writing just works for me every single time, hence why I’ll always get their books no matter what.
Overall if you like werewolves I recommend this entire series, because it most definitely will work for you.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an ecopy of this book.

This book has pulled all my heart string.

The bond between Kelly and Carter was so strong and the pain they went through when Carter went to look for his Mate.

Also reading the connection made between Carter and Gavin the pain Gavin went through with his father was heart wrenching.

Tj Klune has a way to make your cry and laugh.

“Silly Carter” 💖

Brothersong is Carter's story. I won't give any more details as this is 4th in series.

This series has my whole heart and I'm so sad it's over. Its been a journey and I loved every minute of it. I would highly recommend this whole series.

Thank you to Netgalley, Pan Macmillan and T J Klune for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
