I like the premise of this more than the content - older MCs (FMC is in her 40s, MMC is ~130) in a dystopian post-America where A/B/O's came into existence due to the nuclear fallout. Great setup, but I found myself getting bored throughout and I didn't find myself connecting with either of the MCs.

Kess read a lot younger than her actual age and made a lot of TSTL decisions throughout. I understand the difficulties coming from such a traumatic background, but at times it felt like she was just being stubborn for stubborn's sake. Had she been a bit more fleshed out, it might of worked for me, but I just found I didn't care much for her overall.

Same with Hunt. His gruffness came across more asshole than tortured (when we first meet him, TW

he's planned his suicide

), and the number of internal monologues he had thinking about how much he hated his new feelings for his Omega really got on my nerves.

Overall - good idea, not so good execution.
