I can’t believe I finished this tbh. I speed read most of it out of morbid fascination. Don’t recommend. There is no plot, only dubious spice and the worst character development known to man

It’s not a retelling, McIntire tells you that from the beginning, but I really do enjoy it. Dark romance, villain gets the girl, that’s my shit. I did think Wendy was won over by James a bit too fast (both times), but I like them both as characters. The plot twist was an easy one to guess, though. 

Dark Romance, Insta Love, 3 3/4 🔥

This book is not for the People who like a morally grey man who likes an innocent girl. James (hook) is irredeemably a bad person, and if you can accept that, this book will be good. Though, if you expect him to having somehow misunderstood killing and being a mob boss, put the book down, for your own good.

azraelle's review against another edition

I don't like James, he is a disgusting character, and I can see where it is going. I won't appreciate the book, it is too violent for me, I don't like reading that kind of thing. Dark romance definitely insn't for me.

Gore, torture, and stalking. Too intense for me in the context of a romance novel
