4.5

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.

Plenty of heat. I never felt that I got as into this book as other people seem to. No butterflies in my stomach. 

Massive age gap: >5000 - 23. Not as quite as ridiculous as a 38yo billionaire and his 20yo intern but close...

I liked it, I really did. But I’m not feeling the hype. I’ll give the second book a try and see how I feel. It was well written, planned out, everything was there. I just didn’t connect. No butterflies, no tears, no sinking stomach.

I felt like there was so much more to see/learn about Wyn (which is probably why he has his own short story later). But there were so many moments where more of him could have come out and been seen, but it didn’t. 

I’ll keep going with the series, I’m informed it only gets better.
