Content Warnings: sexual content, breathe play, violence, gun violence, blood, gore, torture, death, and murder.
Mention of: child abuse, death of a parent[s], neglect, corruption, and implied pedophilia and child SA.

Yes, just yes. Hook is one of those villains whose violence feels completely justified. 😌 I also loved seeing Wendy evolve and grow confident in herself and her own mind. 

Ngl definitely saw the twists coming but they were still fun when revealed.

I will definitely be reading the other books in this series 💜

Overall this book just wasn’t for me. I don’t vibe with the writing style and I came away from it feeling the characters were underdeveloped. For me, it almost felt like reading fan fiction, and while I’m not opposed to a spicy book, the lack of connection I felt between the main characters left them feeling a bit unfulfilling. 
So, yeah, I didn’t hate it, but it won’t be taking a permanent place on my bookshelf.
