This story was pitched to me as a smutty Peter Pan retelling with the 'I was sent to kill you trope'. The story did those things but I found it underwhelming.
We read about Wendy Davenport, her brother is dying and her family is losing all its wealth. There are rumors about a flying boy who can grant wishes. One night, he ends up at Wendy's window.
I adored the world, the author really made something good of Never land. More scary, more depth. The plot was also good! It was original ans had Nice points.
Plotwise, my only real issue was the romance, which obviously was a pretty big part of the story. It made no sense to me. When they first meet, Peter gives Wendy head. Like within minutes of first meeting. I didn't feel like there was a real connection between them?
Lets at least say sex scene's we're definitely present! If you only want to read it for that, though, don't. Not that they were bad, it's just very plot heavy and while the sex scenes weren't bad, they were just a bit... Bland? Idk maybe I'm just too gay so I'm not going to judge that.
Another issue I had were the characters. Wendy annoyed me to death for 3/4 of the story, although I did love her after that, it was still hard to sit through the other 3/4. She literally was like 'I have to kill him and I will kill him' and a few pages later she was banging him. I will say she had a nice and satisfying arc.
The other characters weren't really better. There was no development outside of Wendy, even Peter was terriblely one dimensional hidden beneath the fact that he kept a lot of secrets and a sad past.
I know this might sound very negative but I did have a good time reading this! Just not really for me. I'd reccomend this to people who enjoy Sarah J. Maas!
