I did not finish the book because the plot went nowhere and the whole setting is simply unrealistic. The main character is kidnapped by a muscular Peter Pan and decides to bang all the boys on the island to save herself. That's all I have to say.

I really liked this book! It was a very interesting take on Peter Pan and the lost boys. I think the author did very well for the most part. Literally I would be giving this book a 5 star if not for the fact that in only ONE paragraph, she used the word “sorta” when that slang was not used in the rest of the book. It was weirdly out of place and I’m not sure if it was an editing error or on purpose. But it gave me major ick. Otherwise I would def recommend but also please check trigger warnings before reading.

Loved this book if I could give it a higher rating I would. I've been struggling to find a book to keep my attention for a few weeks now but as soon as I picked up this book I couldn't put it down it captivated me from page 1. Excited to start book 2!

Edgy dark romance retelling of Peter Pan, there's something like a good idea here. It just can't get past the terrible characters and sex scenes. The main character nymphomaniac 18 year old girl, her willingness to get down with her kidnappers is played like an empowering thing, but it's not! It just comes across as cringy and immature. And everyone here is horny for the weirdest and/or grossest shit. Eating pancakes? Sure, they're ready to bone. Descaling and gutting a fish to eat? She's thinking about anal. I don't care how well you write it. It's not sexy.

Who knew I needed a dark Peter Pan story? Not me, but I’m happy I found one. I’m going to devour these next three just as quickly as I did this first one.

The pick me vibes I get from this book is beyond cringe. 
The guys seem dark enough that the next books could be fun but I don't like the main female, which is the plot of the entire series so I probably will no be reading any more of this.
