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!
