Let's be honest here, this is a Sterek AU fanfic. The names have been changed but it's easy to tell by the social ineptitude of our MC Axton. Plus they're both at the age where they can afford to buy a living space, which I assume to be past 20 at the very least, even though the dialogue is very High School. Anyway, so far it's a cute story, kinda tasty, like junk food.

I liked the idea behind the story, but I found the execution lacking. Merq doesn't truly progress as a character over the years. He's cocky and jaded at age 16 and he's the exact same in his thirties. Armise is interesting only because we're not in his head. Also, they never came across as mortal enemies, even though Merq keeps insisting that they are. Special Forces - Soldiers does a much better job, to be honest.

Maybe I'm being too hard on this book but I feel Merq's attitude and maturity has remained the same over the years, even though he got older. The author also does a lot of telling instead of showing. I'm still intrigued though so there's that.

I'm reading the most recent edition, but the scene transitions are still jarring, in that there is no transition. I feel like I have to orient myself every time. Not necessarily a bad thing, but if the first edition was even more confusing....

They sure hooked up fast. I'm still unclear on what brought them together, other than that they're both a side of the same coin.
