Not a book I would have picked out on my own. Could’ve had more romance. Spice was alright, which is why I rated it what it was.

It's dark and twisted with tension and suspense that gripped me each page! This is the first book i have read by this author and what a great read! Check TWs.
I have read many fairytale retelling books but this one is different, one with a twist. This is a story of Wendy and James.
I loved the chemistry and passion they both shared together, the push and pull of their mutual attraction and feelings whilst staying guarded to protect themselves. This book really took me on a roller-coaster of emotions. The build up to the climax was on point! Honestly, the amount of times i had to pick my jaw up was unreal!
It's written in dual POV, my favourite! At first i thought Wendy would grate on me, i first saw her as a naive, immature woman seeking her father's attention and approval but she had great character growth, she showed strength, loyalty and finally found her place of belonging. We also come to understand James as he reveals his traumatic past and how he made a name for himself. Hook!
If you're looking for a dark book with good writing, a strong plot, strong FMC/ MMC, tension, emotions, heat and a lot of twists, then this is for you!! ✨ 5/5 ✨
