Now a grown woman, a mother, a patient and a survivor, Wendy must follow Peter back to Neverland to rescue her daughter and finally face the darkness at the heart of the island...
Review:
I'm a super fan of creepy fairy tale retellings.
This was a wonderfully creepy Peter Pan tale, where evil is on the menu and no one is safe. I really enjoyed reading through this mucky water of a story to find out the really reason Peter has lost his mind.
A.C. Wise has done an amazing job of painting a dark picture, from the characters to the story itself. There is no stone unturned and no plight to deep.
If you need a twist on your mundane story, I would recommend this read.
