If I finish a book, it automatically gets 3 stars. This book is certainly no literary masterpiece, but it was intriguing enough.

For me though, the smut was too much. The plot with Pan, the magic, and the Darlings was very interesting, and I wish we got more in depth information about all of that. Winnie is only JUST 18, so that was uncomfortable... Also the consent is VERY dubious most of the time. It is just assumed. I did like the "use what you have" and "take back your power" themes, but I could've done with a lot less of where those themes led. 

The ending surprised me! Not enough to read book two though. I think I'll go find a summary instead. *READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS*

Disclaimer: I don't typically read much smut, and I've never read dark romance smut or reverse harem. If you like those themes, you'd probably love this.
