Move over Colleen Hoover, there’s a new incest-adjacent, sex obsessed, plot twist writer in town!

I just want to say I don’t think we should be supporting books that tell a story of

someone being kidnapped and then still having sex with them and falling in love with them and living with the person who kidnapped them. THEN killing their father and living happily ever after and making a family with the person who kidnapped them. And also, it’s really fucking weird that Jon is brothers with Hook and sisters with Wendy. Also, why the fuck was Peter Wendy’s dad in this story?? I’m sorry this was recommended to me by my 16 year old niece this is just not what I was expecting.

Peter Pan is ruined for me forever now. Do not recommend.

Eh. 2.5 I listened to this on audio. An interesting re-imagined story of Hook, a book (like the series) where the villain gets the girl. Not really fond of either of the MCs, so maybe that's why I thought it was just an ok read/listen. Spicy.

heynanhey's review against another edition

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.

Not for me! Wanted to try dark romance but it’s not my cup of tea.

I probably should have checked contents warnings. Not really my type of story line but not a terrible book.

4.0

This book had me hooked from the beginning. I kind of predicted what was going to happen, or who some people turned out to be, but I was still surprised by the turn of events and how things played out. 

Book was pretty spicy, I would rate it 🌶🌶🌶. Although could have done without the use of the word c**t used as a descriptive word more than once.
