Ox was twelve when his daddy taught him a very valuable lesson. He said that Ox wasn't worth anything and people would never understand him. Then he left. Ox was sixteen when he met the boy on the road, the boy who talked and talked and talked. Ox found out later the boy hadn't spoken in almost two years before that day, and that the boy belonged to a family who had moved into the house at the end of the lane. Ox was seventeen when he found out the boy's secret, and it painted the world around him in colors of red and orange and violet, of Alpha and Beta and Omega. Ox was twenty-three when murder came to town and tore a hole in his head and heart. The boy chased after the monster with revenge in his bloodred eyes, leaving Ox behind to pick up the pieces. It's been three years since that fateful day--and the boy is back. Except now he's a man, and Ox can no longer ignore the song that howls between them.

"“There's a choice. There's always a choice. My wolf chose you. I chose you. And if you don't choose me, then that's your choice and I will walk out of here knowing you got to choose your own path. But I swear to god, if you choose me, I will make sure that you know the weight of your worth every day for the rest of our lives because that's what this is.”<br/>⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️<br/>Gay Twilight with Werewolves instead of Vampires"

"I really wanted to like this series, but the way that the book was written it's self was just not for me. It's hard to read any book when you need to add in He said "I'm the Alpha, Pack, Pack Pack, Mine." I enjoyed the time zones of Ox growing up along side Joe, but a lot of things were repeated through out the book again and again. "My Daddy said I would not amount to ****, He was a Tornado that smelled of awesome and me and mom dancing with bubbles in my ears." <br/><br/>The only really thing that saved the story it's self was the world building and character development. I did have plans too read through the whole series, but sadly I'm gonna stop on the first book, as the writing didn't keep my attention enough to continue on."
"This book got me out of a reading slump when I first picked it up on a random day at Barnes and Noble and started to read the first few pages. Ok in reality it was really Ox the main character and his adorable, shy personality that really made me fall in love with him. I especially loved how he was a gentle giant who was a momas boy that just wanted to be loved, despite the many moments in his life where he was in his right to be a villain. I really relate a lot to his character and how he thinks, that's why I want to make it clear that I hate his father with every fiber of my being and I hope he is getting the karma that he deserves for hurting precious Ox who was made to believe that he was the cause of everything going wrong. His "Sperm donor" as I like to call him, also told him that none would ever love him or tolerate him because of the way he did not excel in his school work. On the other hand his mother was the most sweetest woman ever to Ox and she was such a hardworking person as well. She also reminded Ox to be as gentle and kind to others and that he should never change who he was to fit in. I will never forgive the author for killing her off it honestly was the biggest heartbreak I have ever experienced when reading a book and it made me cry. For the first time in my life I cried while reading a book and Ox did not deserve to go through that after everything that happened. My only complaint is the 3 year time skip that happened when Joe decided to leave basically everyone behind *Cue eye roll* but I digress, it really is a struggle to get through only because you are devastated from the events that happened before, while fighting the temptation to skip to the end and get the juicy details. This was a pleasure to read and I have fallen in love with the way the Author writes so I hope that you will give it a chance and enjoy this adventure. <br/>Happy Reading!"
"Dnf 50%<br/><br/>My 2nd book from T. J. Klune. I immediately started to like this story I mean obviously Klune is known for wholesome plots with family oriented characters. Ox and the pack were affectionate and you could physically feel the bond between them all. The writing style was very straightforward and simple as if every word had a meaningful weight to it.<br/><br/>The downside, I just don't think this book was for me. There was a lot of repetition in the words Ox said to himself. Even more was the recurring 'He said' at the end of each characters dialog. Maybe a small thing but it could have been easily broken up with other words and implications. The audiobook made it worse of course because while reading you tend to skip over such trivial things. <br/><br/>Not sure why but I got a Twilight vibe from this. The wholehearted honesty and innocence but coupled with a strong sexual desire that threw me off quite a bit. It seemed predictable as well. I didn't have to force myself to read but I just got to a point were I didn't care and thought that I probably knew the ending already anyway."
"(I bumped it down from a three-star to a two-star for reasons I'll get to later) <br/><br/>2.4 stars. <br/><br/>This was going to be a five-star for, like, the first one hundred pages, but the angst just ruined it for me. <br/><br/>I got this book on my Ipad on a whim. I was in the mood for something gay. T.J Klune is a very beloved author for his book, <i> The House in the Cerulean Sea </i> but, to me, his book <i> The Extraordinaries </i> is one of my favorites and is what made me look at this and go: Yeah, I'll read this. <br/><br/>Now, my original rating of this was a three-star, but, thinking about it, I kind of wish that I didn't read it. <br/><br/>I was absolutely in love with the main character Ox. He was my baby and I wanted to protect him. I loved his relationship with his mom and the people he worked with and his mom, and that was about it. <br/><br/>The Bennet family (I think that's their name) was interesting, but the whole werewolf thing got really annoying after a while. Like, okay, Joe's the alpha, and Ox is a <spoiler> human alpha? </spoiler> can we move on? Maybe it's because of my abo phase with fanfiction that wore me out on this trope, but I was just not interested in learning anything. <br/><br/>I also didn't like Joe. Like. I'm still ****** mad at him. This is on my 'made me cry' shelf, but not in the 'boo-hoo, this tugging at my heart-strings' way, but in the 'I'm so mad this character isn't real because I want to beat his ass I'm so angry' way. I literally said to myself when Joe cut contact 'this bitch better have a good excuse', but he didn't. <br/><br/>The romance is a bit sketchy, with romance happening when Joe is 17 and Ox is like 6 years older, but I'm willing to excuse it because they are mates are whatever and they had to be together or something. And they also had years away from each other to develop outside of a relationship that began to form when they were quite young. <br/><br/>This book is very addicting, though, and I found myself not wanting to put it down which is another plus. <br/><br/>Overall, it was a disappointment, especially after starting so strong. This review is ****, but I am very tired and wanted to just get it out of the way."
