This book is like the perfect mix of Things Clare Likes: dystopian hellscape, road-trip, absolutely swoony love story, scorching hot spice, quirky idiots doing Real Stuff™️, HIGH STAKES outside the relationship, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, realistic and emotionally charged conflict…ugh so good.

Dystopian monster romance? Yes this genre exists. I know, I was surprised too. The thing I enjoyed the most about Wyn and Danny’s story was that even though it was outrageous and totally fantastical, the situation they were in together allowed their relationship to develop slowly and realistically. I mean, there’s “forced proximity” and then there’s “a mass-murdering monster* saved me from the military and now we are on the run together through a deserted United States crawling with raiders, monsters and other dangers.” Like I said: STAKES ARE HIGH.

*there’s more than meets the eye here, but I’ll let you read it to find out.

👍🏻RECOMMENDED. Check the CW - this is a romance but there are a lot of horror elements in it that were familiar to me as a plague novel/dystopian horror enthusiast that might be hard to take if you’re not expecting them.

OK, I have found my new obsession and boy is it a hot one. This is everything I never knew I needed in my life - M/M monster dystopian romance!

I was surprised to see this was the author's first novel because it's such a strong debut! Sure it's a little rough around the edges, but the setting and character's she's created here are a great foundation. And it was such a rollercoaster! I felt joy, pain, fear, anxiety, heartbreak....but ultimately it's just such a sweet romance.

The two leads, Danny (the lovable, kinda dumb human) and Wyn (the Soul Eater) have such lovely interactions. It's told entirely from Danny's POV, though I kinda wish there were some POVs written from Wyn's perspective because he is very much the strong, silent type. But watching him slowly start to relax around Danny was amazing and their sexy times...holy hotness. I haven't been exposed to much in the ways of alternate anatomy, but boy did I enjoy this and all the variations they got up to!

Really looking forward to see where the series goes!
