I loved this book. It was fast paced and had me gripped from the start. If it was not for me purposefully dragging it out for different reasons I would have binged it so easily and quickly. I loved James/Hook. He was the perfect conflicting, contradictory, dark MMC that I love. You knew he was bad and he owned it and was not going to change that part but you also get to see a softer, sensitive, vulnerable side that melted your heart. He reminded me of Hook from the show Once Upon A Time, who by the way was the main reason I loved the show. I liked Wendy and seeing her grow and let out some of the darker side of her and her anger which she tried to conceal, though at times she was a bit too naive. I did predict one of the main reveals at the end as it was slightly obvious but still loved the reaction of the other characters and finding out the why. I could have done without the epilogues, which is new to me as I normally love epilogues in romances. but I was fine with ending it without them. I loved the mix of spice and romance. I would say this is my first proper dark romance book and I want more as it truly was amazing and I can't wait to pick up the others in this series as I really enjoyed Emily McIntire's writing.

This was a very good example of a dark romance, and it made some use of the names and characters from the source (Peter Pan), but it deviated too much from the original for my taste. Steamy romance and very well written, met all my expectations for the genre. While there are plenty of dark elements, the book overall uses those for atmosphere more than plot or character. I definitely applaud the author for including those dark elements without using them gratuitously.

First and foremost, if you're going to read this book, I beg you, PLEASE, read trigger warnings. I shouldn't have to remind you since, if you're reading this review, you probably already know this book deals with dark topics.

Anyways, most of the smut was hot, especially Hook's voice actor, but it did get a bit awkward at times. Maybe I've been reading too much fanfiction. Who knows. The plot was amazing, the tense parts actually made me feel tense, and the plot twist actually surprised me. I'm going to continue reading this series, Emily McIntire proved herself to be worth my time.
