I loved Wolfsong, and was so pleased to finally get more from the Bennett pack. If you've not read and of TJ's stories before just go with the way they are written, it may seem a bit confusing at times, but it gives a real sense of feeling, of understanding the characters, of how the pack feels as a collective and how individuals feel within it.
Gordo, what a traumatic childhood, and then just when he's feeling secure it all upends again I understood why he wanted to stay out of the wolves issues, just run his garage, live his live. He wasn't happy though, he was just coasting through life. And then – the Bennett pack returned and somehow he gets sucked into pack issues once more.
I loved the connection between Mark and Gordo, the feeling of push pull they had, that however far away Gordo tried to stay Mark was there inside him. It does take a seriously long time for the two to get themselves sorted, it really makes for a drawn out, slow burn romance, but its fabulous, really emotional.
I love the human pack characters here too, the witty banter that came just when things looked grim and somehow lightened the atmosphere. There are some very dark parts in this novel and that lightness was much needed. I sniggered along with them at times....
Its a progression from Wolfsong, not just a romance but a solid story about Pack, and the battles they have to overcome. They're at the edge, now, facing a formidable opponent and I can't wait for Heartsong to reveal more.
