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 am so fucking emotional over this book right now and I did not expect that AT ALL????

Like WOW. I have seen so many people talk about this series and I had just never gotten around to starting it. Well here I fucking am, late to the party, but so happy to be here.

I can't believe this was a debut?? The world is so impressively fleshed out. Very post-apocalyptic/dystopian vibes. Very unique monster lore. The sweetest fucking characters. Despite the setting and plot, it was just so warm and tender?? Until we got to the 75% mark and then Lily Mayne decided to send me on an emotional SPIRAL because what the fuck?? (I loved it though.)

*My only complaint is in the form of questions regarding one of the major incidents that happen in the last quarter of the book. I would have liked more explanation on page rather than getting the events secondhand.

Obviously I'm going to be reading Edin next because that giant purple teddy bear is my new favorite.

Very sweet, characters are lovely. Some repetitive dialog that is mildly annoying but overall a very easy, sweet read despite violent, post-apocalyptic setting.
