This isn’t romance; it’s a series of toxic abusive relationships which are romanticized in a way that feels deeply unhealthy not to mention dangerous.

geooo's review against another edition

This is terrible. It is poorly written, the characters don't have an ounce of complexity to them and there is no character development as of right now and I doubt there will ever be (at least a good one). However, the worst thing about this story, the thing that made me dnf it is the amount of sexism. This book is purely sexist trash, how the men talk about women, the girl on girl hate, how the mc treated the fmc, at one moment stalking her home so she wouldn't be sexualy assaulted, doing that only because he doesn't want his things "damaged", these things were disgusting and just because the mmc is a villain doesn't excuse his actions. Absolutely disgusting. I don't understand the hype and will definitely will not be reading the next book.

Uuuuuuuughhhhh. She’s just too dumb for me. Was the smut fun? Yes. 
Did I physically cringe at all the torture? Yes.
Was I initially rooting for them? Yes.

Does Wendy have any concept of contraception? No.

I found many of the Peter Pan references to be overly obtuse and deserving of eye-rolls. 
I really wanted to like this. Their chemistry was bangin’ (heh) but I just could not.

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.
