This was a very dark and twisty retelling of an alternate version of the Peter Pan story. Hook is the main character and the darling family is led by the stories antagonist. This is a dark romance, and although it was different than what I expected, I was very pleased and have gone on to read more of the books in this series.

i read this as an audiobook and i don’t like when they read sex scenes out loud it’s awkward or it’s just that i’ve never read one before so ☺️ and nothing was happening literally it’s like okay we get it the male lead is evil and he gets what he wants okay… and wendy is okay igs like i feel bad for her but she keeps talking about her innocence and it’s just a tad annoying. also i’ve never read dark romance before and it’s not this authors fault like i went into this blind and i was like woah wtf is going on bc — lil spoiler — the male lead is talking about fing her on her fathers dead corpse like what. i was looking for a easy romance to just listen to in the shower so it’s my fault for not doing my research too 😋

A unique retelling of Peter Pan with a handful of references to the source material. You don't have to be a fan of Peter Pan to love this story.

Lovedddd this book. Read it faster than any book I’ve ever read. It kept me “hooked” the entire time. There were no slow parts what so ever in this book!
