Oh my gosh

Okay so going into this I didn't expect the spice it had. Nor did I realise it was a Peter Pan retelling story (I guess that's my fault going in blind) but wow I enjoyed it so damn much! And will be reading the next book.

This was my first experience with RH and i utterly loved it. The storyline of neverland loosing its power was a fun plotline.

we love a retelling but there’s a major plot hole that i’m fine to overlook / pretend there’s a better explanation. overall, short, quick, entertaining.

unrelated note: i’ve created a spice rating because when you read as much as i do this is fairly vanilla and my fellow heathens need to know.

spice: 2/5 - vanilla+

It was so “bad” it was good. I was hating on it at first but the more we got into the story, the more I was eager for another scene with Kas. I was blushing the whole time reading tho, gg to the author.

Very quick read! This book is undeniably a more mature, seductive version of Peter Pan. Certain scenes were so heated, they left me needing a cold shower. The intensity was such that I found myself rereading passages just to make sure I wasn't imagining things.

Absolutely devoured this book. I enjoyed the dark retelling of Peter Pan and the main characters. If you're looking for a book with an in-depth plot and character building, this is not the book for you. Reading for the spice, then 100% recommend this read.

Very quick read with meaningful but quick details that add to the plot and keep the story moving at a fast pace.
