Let me start with the good: The first 50% of this book (what used to be book 1 in the population series) is amazing. Easily the best fantasy romance/paranormal romance/alien romance I've ever read. EASILY. The scene is set: a dark dystopia, pacific northwest, think of Cormac's The Road or The Walking Dead (sans zombies), gritty, survivalist, hard; the characters are charming: independent, fierce, capable, out for revenge main character, allies with strong silent type; the love is natural: trials bring them together, chemistry builds, love and trust blossom, together they face the cruelties of this new world. The writing is pristine, amaze.
Jump to 51%: eeeeeyikes. let me say, I did not see a single trigger warning for this book but there is definitely a sex scene in this which the main character does not consent to in advance. So what basically happens is,
So ultimately, I am just very conflicted about this book because the first half was so amazing (and also I just really love the writing) and the second half was so... not. Anyways, eep, I mostly came here to warn about the noncon scene.

It's starts out harsh, desolate.
The feelings Kane has for Able are love at first sight. And not explained enough for me.
I was shocked at how much the author puts the protagonist through. I was expecting a romance story. This was more adventure that happened to have a romance. There is a tease of a reverse harem. Kane and Able didn't spend enough time together.
There is vampirism In This book.
