kacithebookaddict's review against another edition
3.0
I don't think there has ever been a quote that could sum up an entire book so well until now. I love stories that are dark versions of the ones I loved as a kid. But this book? DARK. I've never read something so horrifying. Peter Pan the sexual predator and drug dealer- not my cup of tea. HOWEVER!! What bothered me the most is that Holly spent the whole book running around like a chicken with its head cut off. It's almost as if the author just lost her timeline for the book and just started throwing everything she could think of into it.

After reading a lot of reviews, I was so worried I would not like this book. But the book is exactly how it’s described-a dark and twisted Peter Pan, while I think the author could’ve done more to give back stories and further some character development, I still was stuck wanting to find out what’s next. I was deep into the book by the first chapter, and was wanting to do nothing but read the book and find out what happens by the end.
I would suggest for someone who wants the dark and twisted (not just dark) side of Peter Pan.

Holly Darling, granddaughter of Wendy from the Peter Pan story has been through a lot in her lifetime, suffering much tragedy. Her children are challenged as well, to say the least. When one of them disappears, her mind immediately goes to Peter Pan, someone from her dark past. Will she be able to find her daughter again? To what extent will she sacrifice what she has to protect both of her children?
Overall review -
Interesting dark retelling of Peter Pan. Be sure to check out the trigger warnings for this book before reading. While I was relatively entertained by the story, it was really an outrageous tale, including lots of far-fetched story elements. Parts of the story were confusing and a bit difficult for me to follow too, but perhaps that’s because I’m not 100% solid on the original Peter Pan story. So while I have mixed reviews of this book, I think many others would enjoy it.
