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.
