YALLLL i was not ready for this book. it literally had... me... hooked... sorry i had to. ANYWAY THIS WAS SO AUHFASUOF like it was SUCH a slow paced book n took me quite a while to finish but lorddddd. the plot twists j kept coming!! im a big advocate for plot twists, i love THEM. 90% of the time i see them coming and i know exactly what the plot "twist" is. wasnt the case w this book. the plot twists didnt rlly take place until the end? n then they call came in a row. BOOM BOOM BOOM, continuous plot twists. u should have seen my face i was fr GASPING. some of the lines r so raw n special to me fr like oh my word. ik this ain't a retelling of the "fairytale" but the CHARACTERISATIONS. there was one plot twist (yall know what im talking abt once u read it) that made me feel a lilllll ????? but we move. we'll j pretend that plot twist don't exist. it's definitely extremely gory n the plot is either a sex scene or someone being killed so i'd recommend not reading in public. also it aint for the lighthearted. when i say the gore/violence is graphic, i aint exaggerating. it's a tad sanist but.

The sex scenes are good, the narration is executed well, and Hook is sympathetic and charming despite everything he’s done. I tended to speed through Wendy’s POV chapters since I found her to be boring compared to Hook. I’ll probably try the author’s other work though since I did enjoy the writing.

A good book for spice and dark romance. The plot was better than a lot of books like this.
