This was an unexpected delight to read! I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book when I first saw it but I was very surprised with how this book turned out!
The dystopian setting that this book was set in was a setting i ate up the more i read it! I loved to see that a threat other then the typical zombie actually ended the world. The lore of the monsters, how they each looked different, their abilities, and why the more humanoid ones were here in the first place was very fascinating to learn. How some of the building were delapated and run down showing a picture of how the world used to be before.
The romance between Danny and Wren was filled with such great chemistry and sexual tension. Those scenes were spicy as well yet very well written. The descriptions of how these two thought of each other were amazing. I liked how they learned more about each other as the book went on eventually forming a bond that was beautiful.
I definitely want to read more of this series and more books from Lily Mayne in general! I can't wait to read this story from Wren's perspective, I'm dying to know how he thought about all this.
