Book Description: He wants revenge, but he wants her more��

James has always had one agenda: destroy his enemy, Peter Michaels. When Peter’s twenty-year-old daughter Wendy shows up in James’s bar, he sees his way in. Seduce the girl and use her for his revenge. It’s the perfect plan, until things in James’s organization begin to crumble. Suddenly, he has to find the traitor in his midst, and his plan for revenge gets murkier as James starts to see Wendy as more than just a pawn in his game.

Wendy has been cloistered away most of her life by her wealthy cold father, but a spontaneous night out with friends turns into an intense and addictive love affair with the dark and brooding James. As much as she knows James is dangerous, Wendy can’t seem to shake her desire for him. But as their relationship grows more heated and she learns more about the world he moves in, she finds herself unsure if she’s falling for the man known as James or the monster known as Hook.

Started. I love modern day retellings. This one reminds me of a 50-Shades Peter Pan, lol.

I’ve seen this on kindle for recommendation is it as good as everyone says it is?

It's still too early for me to tell :)

I was thinking the same thing. I wasn't expecting for that.

I'm about 50% in and I don't love it. I haven't connected with any of the characters so don't really like them. I think I would like it more if there was only one POV...probably Wendy's.

I'm not as far as you.

I'm 75% in. I'm very underwhelmed. I hate Hook/James. He's not dark and mysterious, he's abusive. There's a difference. I don't like Wendy. She's boring. The whole book is kind of boring.

It is a dnf for me. I don't like any of the characters and I just can't with the Asphyxia. Hook/James is terrible and Wendy isn't much better. I usually don't say that there should be warnings on a book but I think in this case I think they should put one for the subject matter.
