Story
The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

Story
The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. But it’s pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

so good!!
4.5 stars, full Review on my blog!
yes yes yes!!
This was actually SO GOOD. This is my favorite book in the series so far. It flowed pretty well, the story was intriguing and didn't put me to sleep like the first two.
Also, the writing was 1000 times better, and you could definitely tell this was edited unlike the first two.
Wretched is also a broken fairy tale where the main character is the villain and loosely takes references from the Wizard of Oz. Kudos to the author for making the dark-haired morally grey character a woman! I love it!
I loved the two main characters, Eveline is a badass. She is enchantingly imperfect and remarkably unpredictable, she embodies a captivating blend of flaws and volatility. Unapologetically wicked, I relished the experience of getting to know her complex psyche.
And Nick, witnessing his unwavering moral compass grapple with the magnetic pull of attraction to Evelina, all while navigating the delicate balance between his duty as a Federal Agent, to uphold the law and his burgeoning feelings, was truly captivating. The banter exchanged between these two characters was flawlessly executed, bringing about gleeful smiles as he skillfully irked her, managing to get under her skin and right into her face.
Their romance was almost perfect and the progression and pacing was amazing.
Overall, it was action-packed, the smut was so good. Although I feel like it needed a little more character development but with how short this was it wasn't terrible. I definitely recommend this one!

Can’t give it quite 5 stars!
Enjoyed the story! I struggled with Vivian’s voice interpretation of the characters in this book. I think reading it would have been better! Vivian‘s voice did not work for me personally for this specific character. Her voice is too mature!!! She has a great voice just not the right pick for this character! Robert was great! I genuinely wish all male lines were read by male voice actor and all female lines by female voice actor! It would make the story so much more enjoyable!!!

IM OBSESSED!!!!
This book was immaculate. I didn’t think this series could get any better honestly. Wretched blew the roof off of this whole series.
This was probably everything I could ever want in a book. You get a bad ass female lead who makes her own drugs and carries around a gun. She’s just so sexy, smart and takes no shit from anyone. And then you get an undercover cop who’s trying to figure out who this supplier is. It’s just so amazing with the twists and secrets.
The whole story was so enticing. I think a main reason why I love this so much too, is because I went into a blind. I was just so surprised by everything that was happening and I literally ate this book up.
I cannot forget to mention the spice in this book there was dirty talking from both parties and it was hot as fuck. Emily McIntire really outdid herself with the spice in this one.

A modern drug gang version of the wizard of OZ
So this book was meant to be a modern day twist of the wizard of OZ but with drug gangs and lots of violence.
The story was okay but I wasn’t a big fan of the characters, I guess Nick was a likeable enough guy but she wasn’t and their relationship doesn’t seem genuine if it wasn’t for poetry they wouldn’t have anything in common.
The fact that his entire adolescence into manhood & career was molded by the fact that his mom was a druggy who skipped out on him & his sister. Then his sister was a druggy living on the streets until he helped her get clean, it makes no sense that he would all of a sudden fall in love with someone who for years has been making drugs, runs a gang and kills people like it’s nothing. Their relationship seems fake & forced.
The book was also very slow, book 1 was the best of this series the past two books haven’t been worth the time

The story was terrible
This was definitely the worst of the series and one of the worst books I’ve listened to. The female narrating the males voice was so hard to listen to. I couldn’t get attached to either of the characters, even a little bit.
