I read this in less than 48 hours. It's a dark romance, so definitely not a healthy relationship, BUT, I was definitely sucked in and enjoyed the smut AND the plot.

This was a great spin on the Peter Pan story. It is not a direct retelling, character names are similar, as are their roles. However, if you're looking for a "good guy/hero" there isn't one. (Which was something I enjoyed)

Cut out the tongue of a man who was rude to Wendy very graphically after speaking like 3 sentences to her.

too much of an alpha hole for me.

annabananadel's review against another edition

I think I should start DNF-ing books that are just not for me and this one is it. I love the retelling of Peter Pan's story and how it revolves around Wendy and Hook (James), I just didn't like Wendy in this story and the more I listen to the story, the more I just hate her personality.

This one was rough! I love hook, I love the smut. But it was pretty dark and violent, with kink and a lot of painful stuff.

I feel like the pace of the book was too fast and there was no real build up to the ending. It just kinda happened suddenly.
