*review is for the series as a whole/no spoilers*

Does reading about ‘naughty’ Peter Pan count as healing your inner child? If so, I am healed.

On a related note we love some good spicy scenes and Nikki did not disappoint. (Please check trigger warning, we are far from vanilla)

I absolutely loved all the elements from the original Peter Pan Nikki took and developed into key world and plot elements. So often we get things like the main character really likes roses because it’s a beauty and the beast retelling. Nikki gave so much life to those elements that scream Peter Pan; Pan’s shadow, the crocodile, the bells of fairies, the second star on the right, etc.

My one grip with the series is that I wish some of the digging and intricacies of relationships and backstories had started earlier in the series. Not to say we don’t get any on this in the first too books but you can tell it’s a step up on the last two, without loosing spice I might add. Obviously this did not stop me from enjoying this series but I know it would have had a stronger grip on my book reading soul if it did.

I will never look at Peter Pan and the lost boys the same again. This dark smutty retelling has everything from a myth come to life, morally grey men, magic, enemies to lovers, pirates, a reverse harem, a decaying manor treehouse, and a dying neverland. Peter Pan must kidnap the Darlings to help save Neverland is an interesting twist, it kept me on the edge of my seat, couldn’t put it down, and needed to know what happened next. I’m absolutely invested in Winnie and the Lost boys. The spice level is high so please check the content warnings.

This book was incredible! Why didn’t I pick it up sooner. This follows Winnie who is a darling and just like the darling family line on her 18th birthday she would disappear and return broken… On the night she is to be taken her mother bars the house to make sure they don’t take her… but will it stop them?

Ahhhh I’m obsessed I can’t explain it. Mysterious, broody lost boys and the spice hit. I was reading the book while listening to the audiobook. The Narration was fantastic!

Can’t wait to start The Dark One
