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.

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

5.0

This surprisingly took me off guard with just how GOOD it was - it had all the tropes I wanted, both Danny and Wyn being protective and soft with each other but rightfully angry at each other as they worked out their relationship. Both of them feel like outcasts, misunderstood and alone, but find themselves in each other.
Danny - gos I just LOVE him. Whilst the military isn’t for him, he knows what he wants and isn’t a pushover. He’s kind and stubborn and just so sweet that it breaks my heart. Also, when Wyn tries to send him away? He’s like, Fuchs that, I do what I want.
Wyn - I’m so glad that Danny can hug him because I want to. It’s the good old “I hate everyone but you” and god I eat that shit up. He’s so SWEET to Danny, and ugh I can’t take it. His possessiveness as well? Fucking brilliant. 
Plus, the writing is just so GOOD. I love how it also built on the world slowly, never overwhelming but was delightful to read more about. It was nitty and gritty too, which is always good to see in a book like this. 
This is probably classed as my first monster/human book but, to my own surprise, I adored it. I can’t stop thinking about this book.
