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.

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.

Don’t come for me ya’ll but I did not care for this book. It came so highly recommended in a book group I am in but I just did not like it. I love a good Peter Pan remake, ehh scratch that I love a good Hook remake (you know… dark brooding “villain” who turns out to be misunderstood with a heart of gold). Well if you are also looking for that run the other way. Hook was not a redeemable character in my eyes. This book was smutty and violent for the shock factor IMO. 
Head ups this book as quite a good amount of graphic sexual encounters.

The whole she is a daddy’s girl, her dad doesn’t really give a sh*t about her so now she has daddy issues thing didn’t do it for me. Wendy falling for James felt a lot like Stockholm syndrome-y to me. The end I didn’t feel like the characters really changed I feel like she just decided she was like
Meh oh well my dad was bad too.

Full disclosure because I am clearly
Damaged I will most likely read the other books she has out because I heard they get better and I really do love a good dark Disney remake…

Very fast paced book, I did enjoy the MMC quite a bit, and the FMC was just okay in my opinion. Focus I feel is more on Hook which I find more interesting for the duration of the story! Definitely not as dark then some other stories, so I feel this book is a good stepping stone if you want to dip your way slowly into "dark" romance!
