This was an interesting retelling of Peter Pan. I didn’t find the characters that lovable because of the gratuitous amounts of sex in this book (which sometimes places character development on the back burner). I wish that Winnie’s character had more depth other than having mommy issues and loving sex. That would’ve captured my attention more, I think. The character I found most interesting was Vane - like what’s his deal? I would love to find out more about his character specifically. Kas and Bash were also very mysterious, so I guess this book was shrouded in mystery, and I had more questions than answers by the end of it. This is possibly a wonderful technique to have me read the second book in the series, so I’ll give the author credit for keeping me guessing, but wish there was just more here. It was definitely lacking in some areas.
