Thank you to Libro FM and Fiewel and Friends for an ALC of this book.
In this dark reimagining of Peter Pan, Wendy Darling has just graduated High School and is still recovering from the trauma of disappearing for 6 months with her younger brothers when she was 12. Even though she made it back when her brothers didn't, she has no memory of the time she was gone, but frequently has dreams of Peter, the fairy tale her mother told her when she was younger, but he couldn't be a real memory, could he? When children start disappearing, Wendy knows she has to remember her past in order to save them.
This book is definitely even darker than I expected. It starts off very slow, but the ending is fast-paced and very, very dark. I really enjoyed the descriptions in this book, and I love Aiden Thomas' writing. I enjoyed the plot and the characters, but didn't feel extremely connected to them.
My biggest complaint with this book was the romance. It honestly did not feel necessary and I didn't feel any chemistry between the characters. I think this would have been improved without the romance.
