I’ve rarely heard such miserable writung

Great Characters but mediocre story

I have four issues with this series

1
The age gap is just ok with everyone ? I found it completely creepy tbh it's lightly touched on but even the circumstances of there first meeting would rise massive red flags in a normal town
Little random kids approaches and smells you
Climbs you
Brings you back too meet his parents and family
after the kid was recently abducted and abused ? family's reaction on the maybe possibility this is there son's mate just does not vibe with me

2
The nsfw scenes make me,think of bad fanfiction the awkward manners of it how the bi side was basically erased halfway through the book

3
The omega rouge group being the biggest threat but can't put together the concept of working together surely not all of them are feral as they seem to outnumber other werewolves also why don't any of the wolf's use moden weapons one gun would of solved so many problems


4
Ox I really wanted to love this silly fool but lack of his own self awareness ability to change and the way he just is so docile too everything what happens to him made me not love him as a character


Things I love

The ambience and feeling of the book certainly pulls you into the world

The Lore was interesting but nothing really New typical pack hierarchy stuff shared psyche the only real oh that's cool and New was mc gaining enhanced human abilities when he was human

Some characters stand out
Carter
Joe
Elizabeth
Kelly
The rest just felt very one dimension including the mc for me at least I'm hoping the other books flesh out the other characters some more

The nvp of this by far the narrator the change in accents inflextion emotions tone pitch range great ten,out of ten,

Very cruel and sadistic villain with a clear objective

Beautifully read

The narrator really did this book proud, varying his voice for the different characters even when they were wolves! I enjoyed the story but the last chapters were totally unbelievable ( I know it is fantasy, but even so) and it could have done with more editing as it was a bit repetitive. Might read the next books, not sure, but over all this was good.

This was everything I needed it to be

The way these characters and this story has burrowed itself into my heart! Book one in the Green Creek series is a paranormal/fantasy MM romance story that follows Ox & Joe. Ox has grown up feeling worthless thanks to his father & lonely thanks to near enough everyone in his small town treating him like an outsider, until at 16 a family moves into the house down the lane from him and a little blonde tornado named Joe decides that Ox smells like candy canes, pinecones and epic and awesome and gives Ox a gift that will change the course of his life.

I don't want to go into much detail as this is absolutely a story you need to experience firsthand. The story itself spans over years and the way everything is woven together is just beautiful. There is lots of humour, found family and bond building not just for our MCs but with the side characters too who I just adored! There is also heartbreakingly poignant moments, chest ache inducing angst and throughout is this theme of being enough exactly as you are, acceptance and belonging. I loved the way the wolves were written, the way they moved, the things they did etc this is the first time in a long time where that element of things felt right to me, this is how you write shifters in my opinion, as that aspect of their characters bled into every part of their characterisation and it wasn't just them turning at the full moon etc... what TJ did by not sticking to the typical lore with Ox's character was so refreshing! I was so invested in this world and these characters that I was genuinely worried going into the last couple of chapters of this book, I even voice noted a friend saying if any of my babies died I would riot! I'm not someone that cries easily when reading books yet this made my face leak and for that I thank it! The audiobook was great and Kirt Graves did a fantastic job narrating. I will without question be continuing with this series and I can't wait to see what kind of journey the next book takes me on.

Beautiful Story

The narrator did a wonderful job, it was almost dreamlike. The story had a good mix of love, humour and peril.

very difficult to listen too.

Found the short staccato sentences very annoying and difficult to listen to. Wonder if the actual book was written in the same vane.

Damn

The angst! The gorgeousness! The characterisation! I had to buy the ebook so I could skip ahead and see the ending.

Worth it

Loved this

Great story that doesn’t go where you think it will so keeps you on your toes.

Spicy chapter is intense and a bit out of the blue compared to the fairly tame other chapters - beautifully written.

the book takes itself quiet seriously, but you just have to let yourself go with it and it’s great - I binged this book in no time at all as I didn’t want to turn off.

Wholesome Read

Yes there is smut but on the whole this is such a wholesome and cozy read, T J Klune has a way of writing that feels like home and it’s a privilege and a pleasure to read their work
