There was something . . . I don’t know. Endless. About you and me. We came here sometimes. Just the two of us. And you would pretend to know all the stars. You would make up stories that absolutely weren’t true, and I remember looking at you, thinking how wonderful it was to be by your side.

And I kissed him with everything I had. I put everything I was feeling into it, my anger, my despair, my hope and dreams that one day all of this would be behind us and we could be as we once were. That all would be well and nothing could ever hurt us again.

I pulled away, but only just, our lips still brushing together. I lifted one of his hands and pressed it against my chest, right over my heart. I needed him to feel it. I needed him to know. “I’m going to love you,” I whispered to him. “I’m going to love you, and I’m never going to let you go.”

And here was home, in a person so fierce and wild that I wanted him to tear me apart.

“Because you filled a hole in me I didn’t even know was there. You make me complete. You make me happy. I see you, Robbie. I see you.”

He burned so bright. It was all grass and lake water and sunshine, and I wanted nothing more than to have it for my own.

I settled down on the blanket next to Carter. He pulled another blanket up and over us. I lay on my side away from him and barely flinched when I felt his hand on my waist. “No homo,” he said. Then, “Well, maybe some homo. I don’t even know anymore. And before someone says 

, shut up. Robbie, just so you know, my morning boner won’t be for you. Mostly.”

He laughed until I thought he would pass out. I wanted to hear that sound for as long as I could. For a moment it was like this was a first date, like we were relative strangers just getting to know each other. Like we had all the time in the world.

We didn’t, but I could pretend. Because there was a man like sunshine sitting across from me, acting like there was no place he’d rather be than here with me.

I took his hand carefully. He was breakable. He was soft. I didn’t remember him, but I wished I did, because I thought maybe he could be everything. He was a summer filled with green, like so much relief.

“I feel weak and tired all the fucking time. But it brought you back to me. And I would do it again and again and again. You said you would do anything for someone you cared about. Me too. My wolf was taken from me. I can barely breathe at the loss of it. I feel like I’m cut off from everything I’ve ever known, and there are days when I think I’m losing my mind.” He swallowed thickly. “But I got you back, so it was worth it.”

“You loved me,” Kelly said softly, “without reservation. Without expecting anything in return. You loved me, and I knew that you wouldn’t stop, not unless you were forced to. And I knew then that I wouldn’t stop, no matter what it took.”

But it was one scent I chased after more than all the others.

I lifted the shirt and brought it to my nose, inhaling deeply.

He put a hand around the back of my neck.

He whispered, “Hello, Robbie. I’m so very pleased to see you again.”

He spoke as if each word was getting punched out of him. “Memories are all well and good, but they aren’t everything. You’re still you. You’re still the man I lo—“

Words. Like grenades about to explode at my feet. Instead I picked them up and hurled them back. “I don’t love you.”

He paled. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

wow why did i even read the first two books when carter sums it up so well here

“Long story,” he said again. “But the gist of it is Ox is like Werewolf Jesus, and there was this beast who murdered my dad and Ox’s mom and then stuck his hand inside Ox and ripped out his guts—taking Ox’s Alpha power away from him, even though he was still human—and then 

 turned into the Alpha for like six seconds. Then Joe ripped the bad guy’s head off because of love and stuff, and since said bad guy was, like, leader of the Omegas, the Alpha power went 

 to Ox, and when he was turned into a wolf, there was a door that we closed, but then we shattered it because Mark and I got bit by a carrier of a magical Omega virus—Pappas, poor guy, got shot by someone who took the Bible a little too literally—and Ox became the Alpha of the Omegas, and now here we are.” He shrugged. “Might have left out a few details here and there, but that’s the nuts and bolts of it.” He grinned at me. “You get all that?”

Sunshine. So much sunshine. As if the world was on fire.

And without thinking, I collapsed on top of Kelly, covering his body with mine.

Kelly panted up at me. “Don’t. Please don’t go. Please. Stay with me.”

The moon and the stars shone down on the scar on his neck.

“They did something to you. Something to your memory. You know me. 

” And he stretched the collar of his shirt away from his neck. The shirt with my name on it.

There, at the juncture of his neck and shoulder, was a scar.

His face crumpled immediately, and I was 

 in the blue, drowning in an ocean that rose around me. He hurt. He hurt so fucking bad that I didn’t know how he could stand it.

“Kelly,” he whispered. “I’m Kelly.”

He said, “I see you, you know?” and “I see you” and “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry we let you go, I’m so sorry 

 it’ll never happen again. You’re safe. You’re safe now. Finally, after all this time.”

3/5

The review contains spoilers!

To be honest, the third book was the one I was least looking forward to read because while I liked Robbie, he wasn't my favorite character. I know I'm probably in the minority as everyone seems to be giving this book five stars, but I didn't feel connected to his character. Maybe if the book was from Kelly's point of view, I would have liked it better. Especially, since he was asexual and I wanted to see his pov. For now, the POVs in this series aren't from the ‘biological' Bennets, so I knew Kelly wouldn't be telling the story here, but I just wanted it to be him. I hope the last book will be in Carte’s pov. 

The story. I was extremely confused at the beginning and I didn’t know what was happening. My confusion stopped after the story gave us a few clues as to what was going on, but the plot twist still surprised me. I didn't expect the story to go this way. I thought we were going back to the plot from the last book, rather than going forward in time a year, because Robert Livingstone took Robbie and his memories. TJ Klune really took my by surprise here. Unfortunately, I hate the amnesia trope, so this wasn't a pleasant surprise. I hate amnesia trope. With passion. I usually avoid reading book with it, but it’s a series so kinda have to if I wanted to read the last book. And I wanted to read Carter and Gavin’s book a lot. It’s not that this book was bad, I liked it, but it won’t be my favorite in the series. The plot was focused on Robbie getting his memories back, so there wasn’t a lot of action. I mean, at the beginning and end was, so at least that. Still, I read it in basically one day. That probably means that the story sucked me in enough, to not stop reading it.

The romance. Comparing the third book to the second one, there was definitely more of that. I won't lie here, I read this series mainly for the romance. Even though I really liked the plot. Robbie and Kelly were so sweet and wholesome. They have perhaps the most tender relationship of all couples. 


  
    "You and me. And I won’t stop. I won’t ever stop. Even if I lose you again, if you somehow forget all of this, I’ll do it again. And again. And again.” 
I was shaking. I couldn’t stop. “Why?”
“Because you filled a hole in me I didn’t even know was there. You make me complete. You make me happy. I see you, Robbie. I see you.”
  


Throughout the book, everyone, especially Kelly, tells Robbie about his lost memories. I kinda wished the book was written differently, because I wanted to witnessed them getting together"normally". Not by Kelly recalling their memories. They eventually get back together again, obviously, but I just thought the book will be handled in a different way. 

The last thing. One of my favorite moments was when Kelly and the pack came back for Robbie, and Kelly was wearing Robbie’s work shirt. I wanted to cry then. 

The pack/ characters. I said it in my last review and I'll say it again. This series has one of the best 'found family' tropes I've ever read about. Seriously. I just love their family. They make me laugh. They make me smile. Sadly, cry too, but mostly they are mostly happy tears. I'm not going to write about all of them separately, because I love them all. I keep forgetting that everyone is in their 40s, 30s, even 50s. This series just feels like you're reading about teenagers or people in their twenties. It’s not a problem for me as I prefer books with older, more mature characters. Anyway, I can’t wait to read the last book and more about my queer pack. 


  
    “We are literally the gayest pack that has ever existed,” Rico said to no one in particular. “I see no problem with this.”
  


I'm pretty sad that I only have one book and this series will end, but re-reading does exist, so that's comforting to me. The next book is about Carter and Gavin, and I already know I will love them.

Otra vez. Otra vez T.J Klaune haciendo ARTE. Amo esta saga, no tengo manera de explicar lo mucho que amo leer a cada uno de ellos. Creo que jamás me había encariñado tanto con personajes como lo hice en esta saga, no quiero terminarla aunque me falta un libro. Siento azul por terminarlo.
Este libro tiene todo; gays, drama, ficción, amor, familia, amigos, comedia, magia. La forma en la que está escrito, para mí es simplemente arte. Te hace conectar con sus palabras y te trasmite lo mismo que sienten los personajes. 
Es que no tengo otra forma de decirlo ARTE. Otra vez, gracias T.J Klaune por compartir esta preciosa saga. 😭💖

How TJ keeps making me cry and laugh at the same time, I have no idea. It’s a true talent. This book has the perfect blind of rip your fucking heart out and laugh out loud moments thanks to Rico, Chris and Tanner. Their banter and love is unparalleled. 

Robbie and Kelly have completely ruined me in the best way possible 😭😭🖤🖤

This was far better than the first two. There’s a lot that’s done well in this book 1. it has a very strong, intriguing start, however you do need to read the first two books for this one to hit as good 2. there were so many heartfelt, emotional moments between the characters. I honestly got choked up several times 3. the relationship between the MCs is wonderful and there’s not a horrid age gap this time and 4. the ending has me hooked and interested to see how this saga ends.

Now, however, onto why this only gets 3 stars. 1. Too many side characters that are insufferable and/or written so similarly that I can’t keep them straight. I was actually relieved when I thought one of them was going to die because there would be less of them to keep track of. Imagine my disappointment when Ox brought him back to life. 2. the jokes about the age gaps of the alphas made me cringe. That’s gonna be the downfall of this series for me. 3. The writing style comes off as repetitive and cringey in some places. And just about every character that narrates these books speaks similarly, so I know that’s just the author’s voice overpowering the characters’ voices. Very little differentiation in the narrating characters. 

Since my complaints have been the same in every book, I’m sure they’ll be the same in the last/final book. But, onwards and upwards. Onto the last.

           A+ BOOK I LOVED IT.

I was not prepared for the amount of times I would cry when I read this. The plot twist at the start absolutely threw me. Maybe a smarter person would’ve noticed the signs beforehand but I legit thought we were getting Robbie’s history until handless Gordo appeared and I was screaming and reevaluating everything I’d read and wanted to smack myself for not seeing the signs (I honestly thought Robbie was psychic or something). I would’ve loved to see how Robbie and Kelly’s relationship developed from the where Ravensong left off but I think the way this was written was perfect.

This story was definitely more somber than the previous two, less comedic moments and more angst but I wasn’t disappointed with it. My heart breaks for all these characters I just want them to he happy forever but all life throws at them is torment and torture. 

I was sorta aware of what would happen to Gavin going into this cause I spoiled it for myself by reading the summary for the next book. But I either forgot or stopped reading when it came to the part about Carter leaving and I’m glad I did cause that part hit me like a truck and I cried. 

WHY IS THIS SERIES FULL OF PEOPLE LEAVING PEOPLE BEHIND. WHY MUST THERE BE SO MUCH ANGUISH. 

Anywho I cannot wait for Carter’s book to come out and break my heart also, I’m so glad it’s out in two weeks so I don’t need to suffer waiting for too long.

           3.5⭐️

it’s basically just every popular AO3 tag, but especially hurt/comfort. that’s how i can best describe it.

- i don’t know why i keep reading these books. i hate them so much and i absolutely love them. i hate them, but am i gonna read the next one in the series tomorrow? yes, duh.
- i would like to say: FUCK ROBERT LIVINGSTONE. ugly ass motherfucker.
- anyways.
- i was very pleasantly surprised that it had ace rep, which????? literally yes please
- i just love Kelly and how he’s so unapologetically asexual while having a good and dedicating relationship with Robbie, and how Robbie never pushes and always make sure he’s comfortable. (ik this is like, the bare minimum, really, but it’s not really that common, when it comes to ace people, that it works well) 
- i just loved the ace rep🤞🤞 we need more of it, please
- also, Kelly Bennett is literally the strongest mf ever and he deserves more love. i just wanted to say that
- Kelly and Robbie make me emo😐
- aside from that: again, i cannot stand the werewolf, alpha stuff. i cringe every. time.😁
- i also just feel like these books are so fucking LONG? like, they’re all over 110k words and for what lmao
- and the way poc and female characters are written…idk man, left a bad taste in my mouth. it’s not like overly misogynistic or anything, i just feel like it’s very repetitive and typical “pretty-girl turns into man-hating badass” redemption thingy yk. not that i’m against hating men, but it’s literally their only personality trait? idk
- and it feels like he just took every hispanic stereotype and applied them to Rico…so
- i did like the plot-twist, tho hurt they did
- and i just genuinely like the writing style for some reason 
- anyway, weird-ass fucking book series. will be reading them all😁

Que libro tan espectacular, lo acabo de terminar y no se muy bien que decir porque estoy procesando JAJSJA

Hasta ahora es mi libro favorito de la saga y como me hizo sufrir, no entendí nada al principio pero cuando me di cuenta de lo que pasaba me eché a llorar y prácticamente no paré hasta que lo terminé. Como está narrado todo desde la perspectiva de Robbie es tremendo y su relación con Kelly es la más pura y bonita de todas 😭 son tan lindos y el amor que sienten el uno por el otro me dejó totalmente encantada, de lejos mi pareja favorita 

Para mí es sin duda un 5/5, como era de esperar T.J. Klune no decepciona

Man, just when you think it can’t get better…

This book broke me and then built me up only to break me again. I don’t remember the last time I cried so much.

Farid Martínez Yd

I would say this one is a 3.5 for me. I enjoyed it but it's missing the 'romantic' elements the other two had and it kinda became a drag to read sometimes.

Juliette Raven 

I still really enjoyed T.J Klune's writing and this series. 
I'm so attached to all of the characters, this pack. I think I shed tears in every book so far.
I was really interested in Robbie's storyline and it didn't disappoint even though I wanted to see more scenes of Robbie trying to court Kelly, that would have been so funny!
I'm already invested in Carter and Gavin's storyline hence I'm anticipating the final book!!!

Helena Cristina Nogueira Pereira

4.5 stars!!!
This book killed me. I cried so much that I even got a horrible headache. I started listening to the audiobook last night, and I kept listening through dawn, I didn't want to stop at all, because although I was suffering a lot I wanted to know more.
Robbie is my baby, and it was very sad all that happened to him. He and Kelly are wonderful together, and all i wanted was for them to be happy. 
This has certainly been my favorite in the series so far, but I'm really looking forward to the next one, I feel like I'll end up devastated!

Oh Robbie. I honestly was so confused at the beginning, thinking it was a flashback and then it clicked...
