Jane has problems, and this December, keeping her assassin best friend from actually killing somebody isn't the biggest one. Her songwriting muse keeps trying to rise from the dead, they have a new sidekick they can't seem to dislodge from the back seat, and it's that time of year when the ghosts of Christmas shake their chains and make an unbearable season even worse.

Peace on Earth isn't what they're good at - but it's coming for them anyhow. Which isn't anything a couple of assassins want for Christmas.


Previously published as 4 separate "Lesbian Assassins" novellas (vol 1, 2 and 4 + one short Christmas story), but it really makes more sense as one longer novel. I really enjoyed revisiting Carly and Jane and getting to know Lelo and Rosie all over again. It's ridiculously readable and I loved how the rewrite turned it into a Christmas story.

In the ruins of Caswell, Maine, Carter Bennett learned the truth of what had been right in front of him the entire time. And then it—he—was gone.

Desperate for answers, Carter takes to the road, leaving family and the safety of his pack behind, all in the name of a man he only knows as a feral wolf. But therein lies the danger: wolves are pack animals, and the longer Carter is on his own, the more his mind slips toward the endless void of Omega insanity.

But he pushes on, following the trail left by Gavin.

Gavin, the son of Robert Livingstone. The half-brother of Gordo Livingstone.

What Carter finds will change the course of the wolves forever. Because Gavin’s history with the Bennett pack goes back further than anyone knows, a secret kept hidden by Carter’s father, Thomas Bennett.

And with this knowledge comes a price: the sins of the fathers now rest upon the shoulders of their sons.


T.J. Klune uses a very unique writing style in this series, which takes some getting used to, and really doesn't work for everybody. Every time I start a new book, I have to get used to it all over again. Once I've gotten used to it, I like it, but it does mean that starting a sequel takes more effort than it would usually. So while I enjoyed this latest book in the Green Creek series, I'm not entirely sure I'll keep on reading the series. Which is a shame, as I absolutely adored the first book.
