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 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.

The beginning of the story is fun, but it starts to become very boring when they're on the run.

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