Lose your innocence to one of the wickedest men alive in this DARK and TWISTED Peter Pan retelling by bestselling and award-winning author Lydia Michaels.
Some adventures lead to happily ever afters. Others lead to ruin.
Wendy Darling is desperate to escape the gilded cage of her childhood, but her parents’ obsession with wealth and status has her trapped. Suffocated by their expectations and starved for freedom, she runs off with the duplicitous billionaire Peter Pangbourn to the Never Lands—an exclusive playground for the lawless elite. But once there, Wendy finds herself stranded and at Peter’s mercy—powerless to get home.
When pirates storm the island, Wendy is kidnapped by the cruel and vengeful Captain James Hook. James has waited a lifetime to punish his brother, Peter, and he plans to use Wendy’s innocence to exact his revenge.
Dark secrets are revealed in a battle of wills, and a dangerous obsession ensues between Wendy and her ruthless captor as his dominance is met with stunning surrender. While Hook is determined to dominate and destroy Wendy, she is set on saving his dark soul.

I had always loved reading books about forbidden romance; there is something about those that’s exciting for me. What also drew me to the story was that it was a retelling; those are among my favorite things to read. As a kid, I loved Peter Pan. I think that I re-read multiple times when I was little. However, I was also curious about Captain Hook, wondering about his story. I liked the twist Lydia added to this dark retelling of Peter Pan. Even though this book was a bit darker than I usually read, most of it kept me on the edge of my seat, and I had trouble putting it down. I liked the pacing for Hush Darling; it pretty much captured your attention from the very first page, and before you knew it, it’s hours later.
I loved the character development in this book, especially for Wendy. Of course, I like the bond between the two of them, even if they tried to deny it. I couldn’t help but wonder how it would end for two of them. I did not like Peter, primarily because of the way he treated everyone. I did wonder if maybe he liked Wendy more than he was willing to admit. My favorites were all the descriptions; Lydia has a way of taking you into the story. It might have been darker than I usually read, but I enjoyed most of the book, and almost every page had me wondering what was going to happen next. I would recommend this to any romance fans, especially if you are into dark romance.
