Book 2 of TJ Klune’s Green Creek Series (beginning with the fantastic Wolfsong), follows and furthers the magical fantasy romance of werewolves and witches in Green Creek OR, a town and surrounds that may have some magic of its own. Ravensong contains the complete tale of a threat to the Bennett family/pack, but it also unveils more of the antagonists and their motivations without bringing them to a conclusion (there ARE 2 more volumes in the series as of the time of this opinion). Extremely likeable and sympathetic protagonists and formidable villains drive the action to a satisfying minor conclusion, but threats still exist and the clouds are gathering in the distance. Again, like Wolfsong, this novel is not for those of a closed minded sensibility; gay love is represented both emotionally and physically in a tasteful and descriptive manner.

A spicy gay romance with werewolves, but it is beautifully written, compelling reading. The characters are extremely well developed and the reader immediately becomes invested in them, their stories, and their well-being. The romantic couple are a bit unorthodox, werewolf status aside, but give the author a chance to let things unfurl before you start clutching pearls. At turns happy, ecstatic, sad, and devastating, Mr. Klune will wring a few tears from all but the most stoic of souls (and if you are one of those people, all I can say is, “who hurt you?”). Very recommended for an open minded reader.

An occasional tear evoking tale of a connection between teenaged romantic partners is told with a great ear for the thoughts of and dialogue between maturing young adults in the often messy senior year of high school as they look forward to transitioning to college and a putative adulthood. If you could still speak with a loved one after they’ve died, what would you say? Author Dustin Thao provides an answer to that question with a believable suggestion that for the living, even a actual death would be treated as a nebulous thing. The conversations would be often mundane and taken for granted, not fraught with deep meaning. Mr. Thao nimbly sidesteps afterlife concepts and questions. For him, and the reader, the conversations and their effects are the thing. Would the ability to speak with your lost loved one soothe or prolong your grief? How would it affect the dearly departed? Those questions are answered in You Have Reached Sam.
