This book was... fine. I think the gore was gratuitous, even for dark romance. I just don't think that kind of explicit content is for me. The spicy scenes were good, if a bit repetitive. I probably wouldn't recommend this unless you can handle blood, gore, and body horror.

Absolutely delicious to read. Not a retelling per se but a lovely nod to the original story.

The characters were all developed with care (even the minor ones had a little side story) and the plot didn’t disappointed.

Dark and sexy and all kinds of wrong, this is a great start to the series. I already downloaded the second one for my flight tomorrow.

Ps: as much as the plot didn’t disappointed me it is fair to say it wasn’t without its flaws. Some of these scenes were just unbelievable but it is fairly tale inspired so I can’t really fault the story.

A unique retelling of Peter Pan with a handful of references to the source material. You don't have to be a fan of Peter Pan to love this story.

Lovedddd this book. Read it faster than any book I’ve ever read. It kept me “hooked” the entire time. There were no slow parts what so ever in this book!
