Oh gosh, what an incredible series, I have truly loved immersing myself in this world in pure escapism. I'm really looking forward to the next book because after reading this series, nothing else seems to scratch the itch or fill the void.

Loved it,all of it. Even down to the little details that link in with the original peter pan fairytales, is done so well. Can't wait for the next book to come out. I find myself trying to read the series slower just to savor it that bit longer

Loved the continuation of the story. There was 1 chapter in the middle that the transition from one place to another was oddly abrupt and the end explanation was left a little too open ended and then just cut to a feel good final chapter of later on, felt like there was a chapter missing in these 2 places to round the story off. Other than that, I loved the story and the journey.

The story I never knew I needed. I'm not one to reread books but this one I feel will be read over and over. It has everything, such a beautiful, adventurous, creative dark fairytale retelling with so many nods to so many fairy tales and legends. Magic, mystery, riddles, enemies to lovers, a clueless prince charming who gets what he finally deserves, a strong heroine to be rekoned with. This story filled my with wonder and awe and took me back to that feeling I had as a child reading fairytales... but as an adult. The spice is spot on, the build and the tension is thick, the additional storyline and elements are just perfection. Who needs to be saved by a prince whej perhaps it is the prince who needs saving. My new favourite book.

I loved this sweet, short story. Starts off a bit slow with lots of world building but warms into such a beautiful love story that gets spicy towards the end.

I listened to this book on audible and loved it. This book is best described as a dark spicy rom com that had it all. Deep back stories with a past, enemies to lovers vibes, slow burn, strong desire, thick tension, witty, clever, funny, emotional. And to top it off the narrators were duet and the way they played off each other was perfect, you could feel the chemistry, and that Irish accent! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm not a big fan of horror or gruesome things

Despite the long list of trigger warnings, a lot of them relate to mentioning a past trauma and the whole story is very light hearted. I don't feel like it makes light of murder however you are rooting for the main characters (who are by definition serial killers) but their 'prey' are well deserving of their punishment and the reasoning behind it is due to their own past traumas and ensuring others don't live the same fate. Very heart warming story
