Loved it!!!!!
I love this reimagining of Peter Pan. Especially since like Easton, I was alway more of a fan of Captain Hook than Peter Pan.

More E & Ian needed!
4.5/5.
A fun, cozy retelling of Peter Pan where Peter is the fiend & Hook is the dashing (but perfectly haunted) hero hiding a heart of gold.
The world-building in the book is incredible, and the spins on the original story & characters are clever and surprising. While the book isn’t perfectly edited (some misspellings and small grammatical bits), the fast-paced, compelling story certainly makes up for it. It had me rooting for Easton, Ian and the fate of Neverland ‘til the last page.
I would gobble up more of E & Ian’s adventures in a heartbeat if given the chance!

Interesting Retelling
3.5 ⭐, but rounding up.
I am a sucker for Peter Pan retellings. I personally enjoyed that this one took a different approach to most other retellings. I also appreciate the strength of the FMC.
I do think that the dialogue being so dependent on monologues bogged down the story, but some people enjoy that. I'm not one of them, but I understand that there's an audience who does.

Uh it was ok I would have rated it more stars but when hook was talking about marrying the mermaid Easton is outraged he married at 15 and hook justified it saying interesting you waste your best years before you marry? Like wtf is this author promoting child marriage? Idk that line left a bad taste in my mouth. I also agree the characters leave much to be desired and it draggggggssssssss

I want more Hook and Easton
I enjoyed every moment in this book. The beginning was just enough of an introduction into Easton's life to appreciate the journey she embarks upon when she falls into Neverland.
Hook was a tortured leader who has spent countless years fighting against the Fiend, Peter Pan. It has nearly cost Hook his own soul. He is desperately seeking a prophesied weapon that will end the Pan.
A few other characters from the children's story of Neverland also have places within this book, but with different backgrounds than their familiar counterparts.
The interaction between Easton and Hook were charged with so much electrified tension, you'd almost expect the pages of the book (or your electronic reader) to catch fire.
There is so much adventure in this book. There are times where you'll want to scream in frustration at the characters, or laugh or cry with them.
This is a story that belongs in the library of anyone who prefers reading about the infamous Captain Hook over Peter Pan.
