I listened to the audiobook and honestly not sure I’d recommend that route because I found myself panicking that other people could hear it if they were next to me. It takes a lot to make me blush but by golly, this one did. I found myself saying “Oh my!” several times from the vulgarity. It’s like if you take Peter Pan, mix it with 50 Shades and spin it into a thriller. There’s a lot going on. Some parts were a bit gruesome and the smut was next level so this one is not for the bashful or easily offended. If you’re looking for a fun Disney inspired innocent read, look elsewhere because this is most definitely not it. If you want twisted, dirty storyline with nods to Disney characters, give it a whirl. I enjoyed the creativity of intertwining Peter Pan into modern day scenarios even if some of it was a bit cheesy. Will I read more in this series? Yes. Will I listen to the audio over physical book? TBD.

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!

Parts were enjoyable. But definitely not my cup of tea

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.
