This was looking so close to being a 5 star but man- that ending i didn’t like it. Before I talk all about the negatives i want to talk about what I enjoyed I loved James and exploring his backstory and connections I loved seeing his veiw of Wendy and how it changed over the course of the book! I also adored Wendy! A lot of people have said her daddy issues were a negative for them but i didn’t mind it at all her issues with her father made sense to me! I also loved the references of each place,thing and person to the Peter Pan story I loved that the jolley Rodger wasn’t the boat but instead the bar and I loved how pixie dust was a drug it was amazing! ENDING SPOILERS Now onto what I didn’t like the reveal with smee I think it was unneeded and kind of lazy- I did absolutely love the reveal with Jon being James half - brother I think the author should have focused on building that instead of throwing in the “oh smee is james cousin and hates him blah blah blah” I think the author might have been having a hard time figuring out how to get to the ending. But overall really amazing book and writing I would definitely recommend as a first step into dark romance
