I LOVE this book. It's a Peter Pan retelling. One thing I think people fail to realize with books like these is, you can hate the characters all day long and not agree with them, and STILL like the book. You don't have to agree with, or even like the main characters. But, also, if you don't like morally grey characters with god complexes that will literally kill for you, what are you doing here?

This is a true villain love story. It is the epitome of the good girl and the bad guy or the really, really depraved, psychopath. She loves him despite all the horrible, terrible things he has done, but honestly, that may be due to her own trauma.

The story is a bit insta love, which was a little disappointing since I read Scarred first and the slow burn there was great. HOWEVER, I also see how that insta love is needed for the plot, even if it isn't my favorite. I DO feel like Wendy could have been more rounded out, but I can also see that she isn't as well rounded because of her upbringing, so that's two-fold.

I would have REALLY loved to see the drama at the end last a bit longer. It felt like it was over a bit too soon.

She did a great job sprinkling in Peter Pan easter eggs. I really didn't think we would see the acorns pop up at all and then my heart was extremely happy.

MINI SPOILER
I also didn't care for the epilogue. It felt very forced. I would have liked to see more about how in the heck they raised kids when he literally kills people all the time. Like really and truly, HOW did that work? It ended up leaving me with more questions than if the book had ended without the epilogue. Like are we raising the kids to take over this business? How does Wendy feel about that? Do they know anything? What is Jon's role in this? I felt like it was more of an excuse to drag out their romance.

Overall this was a good book.
