This was a good first book in a series in terms of setting us up in this world. We got hints of future characters, places, and plot devices for the rest of the series, but as a standalone, this was a little boring. There wasn't a ton of plot, and the most action that happened was a fade to black moment.

The relationship was very insta-love, but sweet. It was a grumpy sunshine type of relationship. Danny was the cinnamon roll, while Wyn was this ancient evil. I liked that Wyn was awkward and that they were both new to romance/relationships.

This definitely is monster smut. Wyn is humanoid, but not human. They don't just have wings or horns or tail. Their body is different, so the smut is a little different.

From what i've heard, this series just gets better and better as it goes, so I'm excited to continue to dive into this.

I needed a pallet cleanser book after a few darker reads, and this delivered. It's set in a dystopian and monster-infested world, and I had no issue following along with anything, ever.

Some emotional issues were pretty contrived but hey. It's a debut.

It's not like... literature. But it was a good way to pick my mood back up.

The plot is very basic and predictable. Interesting world building but not fully explored . I wish the plot explored more about the dystopian world. Somehow everywhere he went he found running water. Yeah sure. He always had food to eat from supermarkets regardless of the fact that they have been abandoned for decades. What pulled me away from the book is the main character. He is whiney, overthinks a lot, incompetent and in general just irritating. Wyn is a basic character, nothing interesting there. For being thousnads of years old , he talks and behaves like a 20 year old. Anyways, the smut is okay but it did not pull me in.

A surviving soldier finds himself on the run with the monster he's supposed to hunt. I really liked both MCs - Danny is brave, optimistic with a sense of honor. Wyn, despite being murderous and stuff, is sweet, kinda shy and has a very protective side. There's good progress of their friendship but the transition to romantic/sexual feelings felt a teeny bit abrupt. Still, the chemistry is great and their romance is very sweet and fluffy for a dystopian world.

Wyn is gentle and really mindful of Danny's needs. They're lonely souls who found kindred spirits in each other, and they're not afraid to be vulnerable. There's a lot of love and support for each other. Lots of very interesting and steamy monster sex, but I'd prefer less smut and more sweetness. The world building and plot are quite solid despite occasional lulls.

I read this based on a recommendation and I wasn’t disappointed. It has the perfect mix of love, sex, action, and character development. I wasn’t sure about it at first because there’s a lot of military mentions, but it was amazing! I’m already so excited to read the next story! I’d highly recommend this if you like reading original stories and concepts, specifically about a monster apocalypse.
