Summer Reading List
We Came. We Read. We Came Again. 
WE SURVIVED. BARELY. 
This year? Absolute chaos—in the best possible way.
We laughed. We cringed. We trauma-bonded over morally gray men with anger issues and magical d**ks. We said “just one more chapter” and looked up four hours later, emotionally wrecked, mascara on our pillows, questioning our

Hush Darling: A Wickedly Dark Peter Pan Retelling of Forbidden Romance (Villains of Kassel, #1):
"This is not the Peter Pan of your childhood! The villains are not who you expect and Wendy’s adventures are now filled with spice; adventure on the high seas, indeed."

"Thank you to Lydia Michels for the ARC copy of this book. This is not the Peter Pan from your childhood fairytales. It’s so much better! The spice is spicy! The story is well laid out and I loved the ending. I can’t wait to read more of the Villains "

Hush Darling: A Wickedly Dark Peter Pan Retelling of Forbidden Romance (Villains of Kassel, #1):
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a dark Peter Pan retelling, which is delicious. 😋 Wendy is taken to the Never Lands by Peter, who is not who you think he is. She ends up being taken by Captain James Hook, and the story takes a very spicy turn. The villains are not a" Read more of this review » |

question:
Some second-generation characters (like Skylar, Kate, and Ant's daughter) can be found in the Jasper Falls series with many McCullough cameos! Jasper Falls is a sister series of McCullough Mountain in the same world.

“All of my life I’ve had one cardinal rule: the only person I can trust is myself. I’m the only person I can count on to truly look out for me without ulterior motives. That’s what I’m doing now, looking out. I don’t need your hotel. I don’t need your damn limo to give me a ride. And I don’t need you.” He stared at her, a blank expression on his face for a long moment. Finally, he whispered, “But I need you.”

― Coming Home
“And it will be a great boon to your friend. He’ll get the security he’s been searching for, the
confidence he never had, and I’ll get the rest of my life with you. Sometimes victory is won by
surrendering something great. And in surrender, we unburden ourselves so clarity can come through.
We’re all just men hiding behind curtains and impressive toys, Evelyn. He can have whatever trinket
validates his struggles, but he’ll never have your heart. That’s mine. I’ll surrender everything, except for you.”

“Grief was the counterpoint of love. The more a person loves something, the more painful sorrow became when that something disappeared. She loved Nash with every ounce of her being, so when he went away he took her entire soul with him." ~Lydia Michaels WAKE MY HEART (Jasper Falls 1)”

“The man could make stone malleable. Somehow he was changing her without fully breaking her. Perhaps that was how he obtained his power. Shatter the victims right from the start, so the slightest show of kindness felt like the greatest relief.”
