Synopsis (From Goodreads): The stories were all wrong — Hook was never the villain.

For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken.

Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked.

But it’s pointless.

Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

Thoughts:

Holly Cow, this book was hot and steamy. A lot of Peter Pan retellings deal with Captain Hook and Wendy, which I get, but I wanted one with Peter Pan, because like a lot of girls my age, I had a huge crush on him when I was younger and was so jealous, I wasn't Wendy. So, when I saw this book in one of my book groups, I knew I had to read it. I wasn't expecting the amount of spice I was going to get from the beginning, and I was so there for it.

This Peter Pan isn't the sweet boy from the Disney movie and Wendy isn't the good little girl ether and add the hot lost boys to the mix, and you might need a cold shower after this book. lol

The plot, while they haven't completely divulged what is going on, since this is a series, is very interesting, and the whole world of Neverland, is not what we know it to be. This made it a very fast read for me, although I was a little pissed at the end when I saw that it was a cliffhanger. I HATE cliffhangers, why do they torture us with them??!??! Not only that, but I saw that the second book isn't coming out until the fall I think, and now I have to wait to get my fix. lol

Even after all that cussing I did, you know I will be one of the firsts to grab that second book when it comes out. LOL
