Publisher Description
Wolfsong is the beginning of the Green Creek Series, the beloved fantasy romance sensation by New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, about love, loyalty, betrayal, and family.
“Wolfsong is so well written that I'm in awe of TJ Klune's talent.” —Charlaine Harris
The Bennett family has a secret: They're not just a family, they're a pack. Wolfsong is Ox Matheson's story.
Oxnard Matheson was twelve when his father taught him a lesson: Ox wasn’t worth anything and people would never understand him. Then his father left.
Ox was sixteen when the energetic Bennett family moved in next door, harboring a secret that would change him forever. The Bennetts are shapeshifters. They can transform into wolves at will. Drawn to their magic, loyalty, and enduring friendships, Ox feels a gulf between this extraordinary new world and the quiet life he’s known, but he finds an ally in Joe, the youngest Bennett boy.
Ox was twenty-three when murder came to town and tore a hole in his heart. Violence flared, tragedy split the pack, and Joe left town, leaving Ox behind. Three years later, the boy is back. Except now he’s a man – charming, handsome, but haunted – and Ox can no longer ignore the song that howls between them.
The Green Creek Series is for adult readers.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Klune (In the Lives of Puppets) opens his Green Creek series with this slow-burning and intricate urban fantasy, originally self-published in 2015. Four years after Ox Matheson's father abandons him and his mother in their small Oregon town, the Bennett family moves in next door, and Joe Bennett, an 11-year-old survivor of abduction, immediately imprints on 16-year-old Ox, following him everywhere. Ox eventually learns that the Bennetts are werewolves and, just before Joe turns 18, Joe asks if he can court Ox with the intention of eventually becoming his mate for life, which Ox surprises himself by agreeing to, suddenly seeing Joe in a new light. Tragedy strikes when an old enemy of the Bennetts appears and kills both Joe's father and Ox's mother. Joe, now pack alpha, sets off with his brothers to hunt the killer, leaving Ox with scant communication for three years. As Ox discovers surprising abilities of his own and pines for Joe, threats to the pack's safety and curiosity about Ox's unusual position as a human among werewolves hold readers' attention until a final, epic showdown. Klune gets ahead of any Twilight comparisons by making the connection explicit in the text, and the immersive—if slightly overlong—plot offers plenty of opportunities to fall in love with these characters. Fans will be delighted.
Customer Reviews
Most enjoyable series I’ve read in ages.
Honestly I don’t know where to begin. I’d had this series described to me as “A big gay hug” and didn’t quite know what that would entail but retrospectively it makes sense. It’s about love, and chosen family, the trials of life, and werewolves…
Wolfsong is the weakest of the four books with a bit of repetitiveness and a somewhat awkward relationship dynamic in the first quarter. But it grows into its narrative by the midway point and I honestly couldn’t put it down.
I implore anyone who will listen to start this series and continue through it to the end.
Remarkable.
This should be a staple of queer media if it isn’t already. Finished this book in less than 48 hours - incredible work. Emotional, heart-wrenching writing that will make you long for family, both fostered and found.
The age difference was a little much
I loved the book until I realized we meet the love interest when he is ten and the main character is 16 I really wanted to give it a shot but I couldn’t move past that
