I finally took the plunge into monster romance and there will be no looking back from this point forward. I adored this book! The whole concept of monsters rising up and the world going into this post-apocalyptic state gives the perfect setting for a book like this. Wyn's character is so sarcastic and snarky that it makes his interactions with the kind and laid-back Danny so funny to read. He understands a lot about humans but at the same time, he still doesn't understand humans so it was quite entertaining as they navigated around some of that. Plus, Wyn has that overprotective nature I love to see in at least one of the MMCs because I'm a total sucker for a guy who is not afraid to get his hands dirty to keep his person safe. So try and come between Wyn and his human... hah! You'd be better off doing a swan dive into the Grand Canyon and hoping you live to see tomorrow. Oh and Michael Lesley - sir - that voice for Wyn?! *faints* I could not deal with the shivers that voice sent down my spine half the time lol! Like whoa... well done sir well done.
Danny is just the sweetest thing. At one point he is referred to as precious and I couldn't agree more. He has such a kind and gentle nature about him that will have you instantly wanting to protect him at all costs. It hurts my heart when he is so hard on himself. This poor guy is so alone in the world and constantly doubts himself but somehow he still seems to keep this sort of upbeat and hopeful attitude through the majority of the book. It totally fits with the way Michael narrates his character. With that unrushed southern drawl and his accent straight from the bayous of southern Louisianna he just goes with the flow only wanting the simplest of things from life. To be cared for and care for someone in return. To not be alone anymore. Gah, I'm getting choked up just thinking about all those moments I could have just reached in and given him a big hug.
Also, inebriated Danny is hilarious!! Michael nailed that whole scene and I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard!
If you can't imagine how off-the-charts the spice is, do yourself a favor and read and/or listen to it. (I highly recommend listening to it though - Wyn's growls and Danny's yelling during "seggsy" time make it so worth it lol!) Being new to monster romance I was prepared for things to be a tad... different... anatomy-wise. It was don't get me wrong but surprisingly it didn't take away from any of the spicy stuff. If anything it made it even hotter haha. It certainly offered up some very interesting visuals in the imagination while listening.
So double-check any content warnings and go start this series like NOW. I've already got book two downloaded and waiting because I need more asap!
