The darkest romance I've read so far, I believe (next to neon gods). 
It was good. Not fantastic and not exquisite.
The characters and their back stories were build pretty bland. The storyline was obvious and the rapid change of the main characters feelings for eachother (I hate you to I love you in literally two chapters) was a little cheap.
However, I enjoyed the sex. Be real, we are all here for the smut. So if you want to read toecurling porn, then go for it!

This was dark, but you know, it was a fun read. I enjoyed the plot and for how dark things got I didn’t feel like things got too dark for me to keep going, so I’m gonna say that I think this is probably as far as I’ll go into the “dark romance” genre.

That man that man that MAN! For the most part, I really did enjoy the story and it was really fast paced, which fit for a story like this, and it made me feel like I was in middle school reading Wattpad stories underneath my blanket, which is not a bad thing.

Very dark and took some unexpected twists and turns. I thoroughly enjoyed Wendy and James’ crazy whirlwind of a relationship. The subtle references to Peter Pan was just the cherry on top.
