Ao lado de Peter, conhecemos também Vane, Kas e Bash — os garotos perdidos misteriosos e sedutores — que embarcam com Winnie na busca pela sombra perdida de Peter. A suspeita do roubo recai sobre uma das descendentes de Wendy Darling, e é aí que a história começa a se desenrolar. Aos poucos, descobrimos que Tinker Bell, movida por ciúmes do afeto de Peter por Wendy, arquitetou um plano de vingança: manipulou Wendy para que roubasse a sombra de Peter, o que, ao longo dos anos, o enfraqueceu.
Em um dos momentos decisivos, Tilly — filha de Tinker Bell — tenta acessar as memórias de Winnie a pedido de Peter, mas é impedida por Vane, que protege Winnie de ter sua mente danificada. A partir daí, o mistério começa a se resolver, revelando o paradeiro da tão procurada sombra.
O livro é bem escrito, com uma narrativa envolvente e personagens cativantes. No entanto, vale destacar que as cenas hot são bem frequentes e, em certos momentos, acontecem de forma bastante seguida, o que pode tirar um pouco do ritmo da trama para quem espera mais desenvolvimento da história. Ainda assim, considerando que se trata de um livro curto, a intensidade pode ser vista como uma escolha narrativa para acelerar certos acontecimentos.
É uma leitura recomendada para quem gosta de fantasia com um toque erótico e não se incomoda com a desconstrução de personagens clássicos em versões mais maduras e provocantes.

Finished within an hour or two of starting and I typically only read longer, slower pace books. Spice doesn’t lack. But Wendy is wrote so poorly. It makes me feel like we just hate women??

Review:
While the premise of a Peter Pan retelling initially intrigued me, this book fell short of my expectations. The pacing was quick and the fantasy backstory was genuinely interesting—it introduced a version of Neverland I hadn’t seen before. But beyond that, the story struggled to hold my interest.
The main character lacked depth. Her identity felt almost entirely wrapped up in her sexuality, and while there were hints of a traumatic past, they weren’t developed enough to make her feel fully fleshed out or sympathetic. The repeated emphasis on her being the daughter of a prostitute felt unnecessary and reductive.
Audiobook-wise, the voice acting was inconsistent. While most narrators were okay, I didn’t enjoy the voice of Bash, and overall the performances lacked emotion, which made it harder to connect with the story.
The cliffhanger ending didn’t feel earned—the plot just wasn’t compelling enough to make me want more. While the book had a few promising elements, I won’t be continuing the series.

summary: author writes bad fan fiction. zero stars.
This was a damn good time. I have read several hook retellings, but the fact that this was actually Peter Pan was *Chef’s kiss.* this was a wild ride and I loved it and I can’t wait to dive into book 2.
