this is the most unpopular opinion i've had in a hot sec,,,welcome to it

5 "Candy Canes and Pine Cones and Epic and Awesome" Stars
I originally read this book in preparation for a giveaway over on the blog; but rest assured, said giveaway had NOTHING to do with me giving this bad boy 5 big ones.
If it had sucked, I would have rated it however many "suck" stars it deserved, written a semi-diplomatic "this thing sucked" review...
And then still done my blog-wife duty and shamelessly plugged the giveaway.

RAWR! T.J. Klune writing a shifter book? I'm soooooo there!
First of all, I'm a total T.J. Klune fan-girl, so when I saw that he was writing a werewolves book, I just about died. I know what you all want to know: does this book deliver? The answer is YES! Do you also want to know more about the story, the really relevant things, not just a plot summary? If the answer is YES, then read on!

And that right there, ladies and some more ladies and probably a few gentlemen, is how you write a freaking shifter novel!
This is the tale of the Bennett pack of werewolf shifters, the oldest, most respected pack in the entire country, and how a human boy named Ox first heals the broken family at the end of the lane and then makes them stronger than they'd ever been before.
At the core of the story, though, are Ox Matheson and Joe Bennett. How they meet, how they grow up, together and separat ...more

So I have a friend who recommended this book to me. I put it on my TBR and said I’d read it soon. Then a few weeks later, she said ‘Hey! Have you read this yet?’ Since I was getting badgered (LOL) I looked it up to see if it was on audible. It was, so I knew it was meant to be. I started listening right away. Wolfsong is a story of family, friendship, loyalty and love. It’s my first read by TJ Klune, but I plan to read many more. Especially if there are spin-offs from this book. I ...more

this book follows Ox Matheson as he navigates life and growing up in a small town. at the beginning of the novel we see his father leave and a new family move in "down the lane" which really starts the beginning of Ox's life.

“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.”
How does one review perfection? I don’t know. But I am sure going to try.
I knew from chapter 1 this was going to be a 5 star read. That this was going to be the best thing I've read in a while. Or maybe even one of the best books I've read, EVER.

This is by far one of the best shifter books, I have ever read !!
I'm not going into the plot or anything, because I couldn't even explain the awesomeness, that is this book. I also don't want to spoiler.
The only thing you'll need to know, is that this book is about candy canes and pinecones and epic and awesome !!!
This book gave me so much. It made me smile, cry, swoon and laugh out loud. It had me on the edge of my seat, and once I started it, there was no stopping. My emotions were all ove ...more
This smells of pinecones and candy canes. Of epic and awesome.
I don’t exactly remember the smell of pinecones and candy cones right now.
But I will always remember the smell of epic and awesome.
It’s a power some have. A power a few people on Earth simply have. The power of writing epic and awesome. The power of creating epic and awesome.
This is an epic and awesome creation. And it’s powerful. In every sense of the word.
I loved everything in this book. I loved Ox. I loved Joe. I loved the pack, as ...more

Men don’t cry! Ox’s dad taught him that.
Well Ox cried a lot.
He cried during sad moments: when he was twelve and his dad abandoned him and his mother.
He cried during happy moments: when he was fifteen and he got a shirt for present. A shirt that signified that he was now part of the Gordo’s team at the shop where he was working.
And he kept crying when he felt like it until he became twenty-five and he stopped sharing his story with us and the book finished.

EDIT 08/02/2018 : First of all, I won't delete this review. It seems important to me to keep it, because I stand by what I said the first time : ultimately, Joe's parents were abusive. They didn't give Ox a choice. It will never be okay. As much as I can, now, find it in me to accept it, rather than love it, I'm not disowning myself. But. I just read Ravensong and the weirdest thing happened : I fell in love with these characters again. Because perhaps my review didn't make it clear then, but I

It's a flawless book and shows that you can take the fantastic and make it so very human. Ox is so well named, solid and sturdy with everything swirling around him, he is the linchpin that holds everyone together. I thought the supernatural would be what grabbed me but instead it's Ox's humanity and humility and loyalty. I hope there will be more. Wildly recommended.
