ARC REVIEW

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

"Three, two, one. One, two, three. Better watch out: Peter Pan is going to murder thee."

This book easily takes the cake for my favourite of the month, it is a really great read. I feel like retellings have become really popular recently and I am here for it. I adore the original Peter Pan (my nickname from my family is Tink), what I really liked about Nikki’s adaptation of the classic was how she made it her own while also keeping the narrative relatable towards the original story. For example, a key aspect of this book revolves around Peter Pan’s shadow, and in the Movie, Peter’s shadow is a living entity that also goes missing.

While I was reading, I was constantly connecting dots between the original and Nikki’s book. The inclusion of Tinkerbell was really clever and nuanced. I won’t go into much more detail other than noting that the use of her jealousy was a really clever way to create originality in the book.

Now, with this book being a RH (reverse harem) adult romance there is an expectant level of steam. However, it isn’t too steamy, 3 chillis/5, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. I think it was an appropriate level for the book because it still allowed there to be a narrative without it being a sex-fest. The romance is actually decent, not only is there no insta-love but there is also clear chemistry and passion between the characters. There is a touch of enemies to lovers which is 10/10. Also, morally gray characters, swoon.

This book was amazing, and luckily for you, it came out today! Remember to check out any possible triggers.

Nothing could have prepared me for the wonderful experience that was listening to this book😍 I couldn’t stop listening and now I’m onto book 2 🤩 eeepp

I don’t think I’ve ever read anything I hated so much. And I’m not trying to be rude with this lol. I just did not like this book. The very last sentence is the only reason I’m going to read the second book.
