Wendee has always felt thrown away, downtrodden and disregarded. Her home life growing up wasn't great, that paired with treatment from men influenced her to think nobody cares. When she walks into Sinful Delights, that all changes. A mysterious stranger with ice-blue eyes comes to her rescue during an altercation at the bar, and disappears just as quickly as he came. Leaving Wendee to wonder who this stranger is, a stranger she can't help but be attracted and drawn to.
Now, I must say the story of Peter Pan has never been one of my favourites, I've enjoyed it but enjoyed others more. That being said, I really enjoyed this retelling of the tale of Peter Pan! It's adult, dark, supernatural and just generally so unlike what you would expect when you think of Peter Pan and IT WORKED!
Sinn is so dark and mysterious, I couldn't help being, like Dee, attracted to him upon his first appearance. He's morally grey, to say the least, but I personally love that in a male main character haha! Sinn knows exactly who Wendee is when she walks into his bar, he wonders why she's there and why he's as drawn to her as she is to him. Wendee
Wendee thinks Sinn dislikes her from the beginning, his constant scowls doing nothing to give away how he feels. But she just can't stay away from him. Learning Wendee's story is very sad and experiencing the events made her all the easier to sympathise with and you begin to understand the reasons for her outlook on life.
As the story unravels, you get to learn about Sinn and Wendee's connection and the things that have happened in the past to put them in the situation they're in during the book. Both Wendee and Sinn go through their own personal journeys, discovering different aspects of themselves and learning to see themselves in a different light. I'm glad that in the end they're both rewarded for their struggles! (No spoilers! haha)
Overall, this is a great Peter Pan retelling, with many twists and turns and no shortage of spice!
Ps. I would advise checking the trigger warnings that are given at the beginning of the book, as it is a book with a dark theme.
