The plot and story feels underdeveloped and the motivation for the characters to be together not really explained. Like it never stopped feeling like James/Hook was using Wendy. The characters lack communication and they seem to hold unimportant things as the most important things. Mostly in the 50% mark where the big conflict started to arise, it doesn't feel developed. A lot of things go brushed off that should've been explored to make a larger impact. The smut scenes were anti-climatic to be honest and the writing did leave me a bit lost in certain scenes. It feels like you're being told scene after scene without any actual explanation. This book would've benefited from being single POV because the things that were supposed to be impactful felt silly knowing the other character's point of view. The relationships did not feel real rather it was romantic or friendly. Wendy is just naive and James is childish. This book was just meh.

Hook is consumed by the need of vengeance against Peter, the man who killed father, among other things. Wendy has everything, being the daughter of a successful businessman, but her life lacks excitement until Hook barrages into her life. Will they find their happily ever after, despite the blood and revenge?

The story was great and Hook is definitely the dark haired morally gray character all of us love. Wendy was sooo boring in the beginning but started a good character development soon in the book so I forgive that. Hook and Wendy’s relationship is dark, so if you don’t like that please don’t read this book, but is also beautiful and one of my favorites.

“Let me guess, you’ll set it on fire?”
“No, darling. I’ll hand you the match, and stand at your back, watching you become queen of the ashes.”
