Thank you so much to Netgalley and Fierce Reads for an arc of this book.
Wendy Darling's parents won't let her meet up with an online friend when she first moves to Chicago, but they will let her stay at home alone with a broken lock on her window? Okay, sure. So is it really that much of a surprise when she sneaks out with the charming and charismatic stranger that comes through her window? Wendy has no idea that the party she is promised will turn into the scariest night of her life. Darling takes the classic Peter Pan and turns it into a heart-stopping and insidious contemporary thriller set in modern-day Chicago!
I was immediately hooked when I started reading this book. It flew by so fast and I could hardly put it down. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what would happen to Wendy, Tinkerbelle, and the rest of the characters! I was so surprised by the directions that this book went into, but I absolutely loved it. The characters are amazing and I absolutely loved all the different side-characters. This is such a great book!
