Ok, is this going to win any literary awards? No. Was it trying to be too big for its boots? No. Is this really fun and silly? Yes. Its a dark retelling of Peter Pan and the lost boys. Its spicy. Its rediculous. My only gripe was that it was meant to be enemies to lovers which i honestly didnt feel the enemies part of it.

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.

This book was... fine? I'm not usually much of a dark romance person, but I actually preferred the smut to the plot. The world was not super well developed, but the spice was definitely spicy.
