per my spreadsheet:
i love a fairy tale retelling and Peter Pan is one of my favorites of all time. I'm excited for this new world and for the rest of the series. i feel like it ended too quickly (the ending itself was well timed, but like... gimme more please!)

spice 🌶  - a 5 🌶  spicy (romance.io scale)
length - too short
reading speed - read in 2 days
did it make me cry? - no

I mean, it's spicy Peter Pan fan fiction. It doesn't need to be the best thing ever written, but the characters are super flat, and we are barely with them long enough to get to know them beyond their bedroom preferences.

This was ridiculously fun!! Everything was so intriguing and mysterious and I couldn’t stop thinking about it throughout the day. The plot had me on the edge of my seat it was so interesting. The smut 🔥🔥🫠🫠 I’ve read so much romance and therefore smut that I’m kind of desensitized to it 🤣 but the smut in 
this had me sweatingggg!! Also I loved how the relationships developed and all the characters!!

I am a sucker for the Peter Pan fairytale and when my book club suggest this I just had to read the series. This book pulled me in from the very beginning. 

It’s based generations after the original Wendy Darling had visited Neverland but now it’s darker then before. Peter is only after one thing. Finding his shadow, and he’s convinced this new Darling girl has the answers he’s been searching for all these years. Will she be able to help him find his shadow and become the King of Neverland once again or will she disappoint him as the others did before her?

I loved this so much. While I liked the smutty parts, I do wish there was more story and less smut. The story was captivating. I'm immediately starting on book 2.
