What It’s About: Enemies Hook and Roc embark on a mission together to rescue Wendy Darling, who they just learned was abandoned long ago after leaving Neverland.

Spice Level: These two (and three) reach new levels of hot. There’s not a ton of smut, but it is all worth it. I might have a hook kink now? Is that a thing?

Realism: I always feel a little silly talking about realism when I’m reading something with aliens or fae or anything like that, but it needs to be said that Nikki really nails the emotions and insecurities of characters who otherwise seem pretty invincible. They themselves might be fantastical, but inside, they’re just like us.

Trope Alert: Enemies to lovers, second chance romance, MMF.

Trigger Warnings: There are references to an abusive relationship with a parent. And some, you know, light cannibalism on Roc’s part.

Final Thoughts: I’d been waiting for this one for a while, and it so delivered. I love this triad, and the tease for the next book got me so excited that I actually pulled a muscle in my foot because I was screaming and kicking in glee. No regrets.
