We all know the classic tale of Peter Pan who does not have a shadow, lives in Neverland with the Lost Boys, have a trusted friend in Tinker Bell, lures Wendy to the land where boys don't grow up- reverse harem that sh*t and you have this.

Okay, so wow. I was already expecting something sinister about this Peter Pan reimagine but I did not expect that it will be coming from the FMC 😅 Usually on dark romance books, the MC is the one with a lot of baggage and though the FMC has a lot too, she was more cunning than the MC, lol.

It was a quick read with less than 200 pages. Not bad for an introduction for the upcoming books although the plot is still a little bit muddled. A twist was dropped nearing the end of the first book so a great hook up from the author for the reader to read the next one.
