Just please keep Vane safe because I adore the Dark One. This second installment made me far more attached to Vane, Peter, and Winnie. The twins aren’t by cup of tea, but I’m excited to see what happens next!

*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.
