Honestly that was a really great Peter Pan re-read and also my favourite so far.
As one can already tell from the cover it's a horror retelling from Peter Pan. But not just any retelling. We get lots of plottwists, character development and many original ideas implanted in this retelling book. That's what also makes this story so wonderful for me. Even though it's a retelling it would be unoriginal, right? But not this one. Just like I always want retellings to be this one has originality and added own made-up things. That was my first book by this author and now it's my favourite author.
The story was so intriguing and tense and many more things.
I fell in love not only with the plot but its characters. Especially the past from them and how they become to what they are in the present where the story was told.
Even though it was a retelling the story felt like a completely new one with new exciting things to explore and discover.
If you ever want to read a retelling book by Peter Pan here is your sign; Read it!
