GET. THIS. BOOK

Seriously. This books was sooooo GOOD! I love the way Emily McIntire incorporated the characters from one of my favorite movies as a kid (Peter Pan). And as much as I enjoy the nostalgic feeling I get when watching the Disney movie… my adult heart NEEDED this rendition. The spice, the suspense, the drama, THE CRAZY PLOT TWIST! You just HAVE to read this book!

The Story:

I didn’t love this one. I thought about DNF-ing several times, but Ms. Mcintire kept dropping bits of interesting story that was just enough to keep me holding on. I did not see the ending coming and I liked it but not worth the slog through the whole book.
