This was my first dark romance, and I loved it! But I think what was best about it, is that I didn’t know what to expect. Were Wendy & James going to get a happy ending? Would they make it through to the end of the book? I honestly didn’t know what was going to happen and I loved that!! I will definitely be reading more books in this series, & more dark romances in general!

DID NOT FINISH: 8%

I found the book too strong for my personal taste. Also a bit questionable. The description of Wendy through the eyes of James/Hook and ehat he wants to do to her, how sexually explicit the book is... and I can see it gets "worse" through the reviews. I like plot and character development. I like story. I don't mind some spice, but it kind of has to make sense and not feel so... creepy.

This book had some great spice! Hook was portrayed the way I would have imagined him which I loved!
It was a little cheesy and the plot twists weren’t very shocking.
Overall good book though!

This series is all about the villain ending up with the happily ever after. This one clearly followed Hook from Peter Pan. When I think of Hook, I think of the one from “Once Upon a Time.” I can completely get on board with him having his happily ever after.

Keep in mind that this is a dark romance. There were some scenes that were hard to get through. But overall, this was a very good read that I got done in one sitting.
