Absolutely delicious to read. Not a retelling per se but a lovely nod to the original story.

The characters were all developed with care (even the minor ones had a little side story) and the plot didn’t disappointed.

Dark and sexy and all kinds of wrong, this is a great start to the series. I already downloaded the second one for my flight tomorrow.

Ps: as much as the plot didn’t disappointed me it is fair to say it wasn’t without its flaws. Some of these scenes were just unbelievable but it is fairly tale inspired so I can’t really fault the story.

What I liked about this book: 
-I didn’t notice a single typo, which is honestly a rarity when it comes to this genre. 
-It was stupid in a fun way

What I didn’t like about this book: 

-She gets pregnant. I hate that. 
-He basically tortured her and kidnaps her, mid book, and she immediately forgives him 
-Peter was too moustache twirling. 
-The Smee reveal was kinda dumb and out of nowhere. 
-I didn’t like Wendy’s friend Maria. She wasn’t nice. Why are they friends at the end?
-The treatment and writing of women was pretty bad, in general.

This was a great story, and I found myself falling for James right along Wendy. The allusions to the original story were awesome

It wasn't to my taste. Not much seemed to happen that interested me. Things did happen. But I wasn't invested in the relationship or the characters, or the events that were happening.
