No, I was more moved than anything because I'd already accepted all that came before and that life isn't always fair. He's never let me down.)Īnd I will admit that I got a bit teary at the end (which doesn't happen to me often, but with this series, it seems to be a given, which speaks to how TJ's writing works its will where I'm concerned), but not because I was shattered. It was wonderful to see what TJ did with such a short story.

'It's the calm before the storm, isn't it?'

There is a sense of hope here, despite what we suspect still lies ahead for them all. There are shouts of horror that lead to a pillow fight. ' think we have orgies,' Rico says, apropos of nothing. ha ha! etc.).Įlizabeth is beginning to drift off when.

We're given a wee window into what's been happening with various characters (Ox, Joe, Gordo, Mark, Kelly, Robbie, Carter, as well as that grouchy, protective wolf who won't leave him alone. 'I love you so.'Īnd this tale is not without its moments of humor as it conveys the depth of the bonds between the members of the Bennett pack. Harder than they've ever been before.īut it's not until she has Carter and Kelly in her arms that she knows they're still her children. She can feel them along the bonds, but it's different. When her sons return to her, she doesn't recognize them. Joe is on his knees, his head tilted back. That being said, we are also privy to moments of joy, connection, motherhood, love, and more. This short story explores the myriad aspects of grief, loss, regrets, and pain, through her eyes. When she dreams these days, it's always in shades of blue.īy this point, we already know so much of what she's been through. So you definitely need to read the first two books before diving in. This is not a standalone story and it's jam-packed with spoilers.

So, if you're planning to continue on with this series, I'd recommend reading it after you've completed Wolfsong and Ravensong. Lovesong incorporates aspects of the past and present from Elizabeth Bennett's perspective, while also giving hints about the future. Many thanks to Kirt Graves and TJ Klune for making this possible and available. ***Please note: There are links to the free audiobook narration of this book closer to the end of my review.
