I read this book one in ebook form but Have listened to the audiobook 5 times. The book is fantastic but the narration by Michael Lesley bring it to life in an amazing way. the voices he uses and the accents bring Danny, Wyn and even Edin to life. 

I never really read a monster romance before reading this that wasn't in a "PNR Shifter" category, except for a series with aliens. This tale of a post apocalypse world over run by "monsters" was an exciting mix of reality, fantasy, action, horror, romance, and comedy. It's a fairly lighthearted feeling book but the setting is less than light. It is told in Danny's POV but the way that Wyn is portrayed is sympathetic to his character. He is thought to be a horrible monser, killing for the sake of killing, but he is so much more. Danny slowly discovers that Wyn has a heart. 

While this book is mostly lighthearted there are some difficult things that the characters go through. there are parts that are humorous and fun and parts that are heartbreaking. The narration for Danny through these parts is great, but the way that Wyn is portrayed is incredible. I rewind just to relisten to parts with Wyn's voice.
