This story has so many twists and is so captivating. I love the new take on the characters, especially Tink. If you're looking for something different and dark but slightly familiar this is the book for you. I absolutely loved this story and hope for more re-tellings of our childhood classics.

This is no fairytale. The playful, innocent Peter Pan you grew up knowing won't be found in this Neverland.
In this Neverland there are no happy endings.
If you want a dark take on this classic story Shelley's story is for you.

This is not your typical fairytale story. Bleeding Neverland shows the dark side of Neverland. This book took me on twisted ride. The details of the chapters painted a vivid picture. All the familiar characters make an appearance in this tale, in one way or another. With a fresh look at Tink and Hook.
The twist this book takes leaves you on the edge of your seat. I picked this up and didn't put it down till the end.
Looking for a dark fairy tale? 10/10 recommend this book. Grab your coffee/tea/beverage of choice and curl up for a the unexpected twists this book will take you on.

Bleeding Neverland by D. M. Shelley is a dark, haunting twist on the classic Peter Pan tale. Shelley’s lush, gothic prose and vivid worldbuilding pull you into a chilling version of Neverland where magic hides monsters and innocence fades fast. Gripping, emotional, and beautifully written this reimagined fairy tale is impossible to forget.
