Lost Boy by Christina Henry
5.0
Fairytales retelling or any kind of fantasy books aren't really something I would go for. I don't even look thought the shelves when I'm in the bookstore. But I was craving to read a dark retelling and Lost Boy did not disappoint. (Phew!)
I personally think that this was such a well-written book that kept me hooked (no pun intended). The characters, including Peter, have so many layers. They are childish, mischievous, caring and evil (at least some of them are).
The only version of Peter Pan I know is from the Disney movie and the other one that came out in 2003. (You know, the one with Lucius Malfoy as Captain Hook lol). And, I'm actually looking to reading the original Peter Pan and rewatching the movies again because I know I won't look at Peter the same ever again. If you want to keep your memory of Peter, you may want to stay away from this but let's live dangerously and read a dark retelling that is filled with adventure, intrigued and of course, carnage ;)
I'm so impressed and I'm really really looking forward to reading all the retellings by Christina Henry.
