Still a ton of spice (borderlining on porn) but much more of a plot than the previous book.

Back to Neverland we go. After being unable to put book one down of course I had to pick up book two. The sexual content is a bit much for my taste however I was able to push past that to enjoy the book and series as a whole. 

In book two we meet Captain Hook and the Fae queen who book want nothing more than to dethrone Peter Pan and take his shadow for their own. The form an alliance to go after him together and use his biggest weakness against him, the Darling girl.

This one was definitely more plot heavy but for some reason just didn’t like as much. Plus why are these books so short…?

These books are so addicting. The plot and the spice just grip you. I was so excited when I knew this was based around the mysterious Vane and this book delivered! I can not get enough of these lost boys. Another incredible addition to the series.

Also the spicy scene with the tree. I’m going to hell that’s all I know. 

The only thing I will say is when Vane and Winnie finally come together it would be a little different than how it played out. I just loved the hate and venom of Vane. I could of waiting longer honestly just didn’t feel the bang. 

Shout out to the audiobook narrators because it is an experience.
