This book is a Peter Pan retelling. I liked the story of it and how it’s based on Hook this time and not Peter. However, Hook is still the villain, which I definitely liked about him. The author still kept the revenge plot between Hook and Peter, but she did throw in a twist, where Wendy is Peter’s daughter. Wendy is the innocent young girl in the story who craves her father’s attention and wants him to acknowledge he cares about her and her brother, but unfortunately, Peter is not that type of father. He’s all about business, and Hook wants to take Peter down for what he did to him, and the best way to do it is to take advantage of Peter’s daughter, Wendy, and claim her innocence. Wendy is drawn to Hook because she doesn’t have anyone else in her life who cares, but instead she should be running from him, especially with what he has planned for her and what he does to her in this book.
The plot twist and action are really good, but the book is really dark, and I need some time before reading any dark romance. I was hooked in the first half of the book, which was about introducing MMC and the environment. Unfortunately, I didn't like the second half of it because it was really rushed, and I couldn't notice Wendy's character growth because of it. Of course, I'll continue reading the series of Ever After because I like the author's retelling and wonder what she has done with the children stories.
