Absolutely delicious to read. Not a retelling per se but a lovely nod to the original story.

The characters were all developed with care (even the minor ones had a little side story) and the plot didn’t disappointed.

Dark and sexy and all kinds of wrong, this is a great start to the series. I already downloaded the second one for my flight tomorrow.

Ps: as much as the plot didn’t disappointed me it is fair to say it wasn’t without its flaws. Some of these scenes were just unbelievable but it is fairly tale inspired so I can’t really fault the story.

vivivi's review against another edition

It wasn't to my taste. Not much seemed to happen that interested me. Things did happen. But I wasn't invested in the relationship or the characters, or the events that were happening.

khaleesiofthegreatwhitenorth's review against another edition

Holy shit was this a massive disappointment. I love Hook retellings and I loved some of the details that were woven in that make it a clear Peter Pan retelling (NevAirLand as an airline company name deserves a commendation!) but Hook was an epic disappointment as a character and Wendy was a whole new level of frustrating. There are better dark Peter Pan retellings out there, don’t waste your time. The author is clearly too vanilla to be writing something like this

A unique retelling of Peter Pan with a handful of references to the source material. You don't have to be a fan of Peter Pan to love this story.
