Book 3 in the Green Creek series follows Robbie & Kelly, who we meet in the previous books. This series must be read in order as there is an overarching story running throughout. This review will contain as little reference to the actual story as possible so as not to spoil anything and mainly be the overall vibes I had/was left with.
This is my first 5⭐️ read of 2025. I read books one and two last year and adored them, and this is no different. The journey these characters go on will put you through the wringer. The initial few chapters... when I realised what was actually going on, I was shocked, and it's rare a book does that to me, and I loved it.
Robbie & Kelly go through SO much in this book, as do the rest of the Bennet Pack and team human, there were times I was genuinely anxious to turn the page/carry on listening to see what was going to happen next. The connection all of these characters have feels tangible to me as I read/listen to these books. The found family vibes are STRONG, and the overall story is so beautifully written with plenty of heartwarming and heartbreaking parts woven throughout. The plot outside of the romance moves at a good pace, and there is enough action happening to keep the story moving forward. The ACE rep was done well, and the very brief spicy scene was just right for these characters and this story. This book made my face leak at one point and I voice noted a friend expressing my anxiety about what was going to happen, its rare a book gives me that kind of visceral reaction and i love it when it happens.
Kirt Graves was once again incredible in his perfomance, there is something about his delivery of the material that has it and the characters burrowing into my heart. I can't wait to see where the final book will take this story but I also don't want this series to be over yet either so I'm going to wait as long as my mood reading ass possibly can before diving into it. #packpackpack
"I wanted a pack who loved me. Who trusted me. Who never wanted to let me go. Who missed me when I was gone. Who thought about me and smiled. I wanted a home."
"I see you. For all that you are. For all that you're not. And I never want to lose sight of you again."
