An island that devours the lost.
A villain who might be her only chance to survive.
Vivienne has no time to mourn her parents. Keeping her little brother alive is all that matters, until the night they are pulled from their world and trapped on an island from which there is no escape. An island stalked by dark shadows.
And then there is him.

To save her brother, Vivienne must strike a bargain with the pirate captain. But on this island where shadows come alive, it isn’t just her life that’s at stake.
It’s her heart.

The inner monologue of Vivi will have you rolling! She is hilarious and fierce, and willing to do whatever she can to save her brother Ollie, they end up and Neverland and Ollie gets snatched. Vivi and James Hook make an unlikely alliance to find her brother and a way out of Neverland.
James hook is morally grey and someone who you can’t trust but not as bad as he appears. Just maybe misunderstood. Hook falls first for Vivi and he’s protective 💕 And Peter Pan is not who he seems, darker (reminding me a bit of once upon of time with a dark retelling. I’m here for it!)
Such an unpredictable page turner I am hooked!
The plot and writing flowed nicely the characters, everything perfection I loved it! I’d definitely recommend this read if you like a dark twist retelling!

Thank you to The Author Agency for an ARC of this. This is a dark, fantasy retelling taking place in Neverland. Vivienne and her little brother Ollie end up in Neverland and it’s not what it seems. Peter Pan isn’t as nice as he seems to be and Captain Hook isn’t as bad, just a little misunderstood. Vivenne forms an unlikely team with Hook to save her brother and find a way out of Neverland.

eARC~ ahh this book was soo good. I love a good dark retelling and I ate it up !! I wished it was a series because didn’t want it to end. I do wish there was more depth to vivi and Hooks love story. At times it felt to surface level but i still enjoyed it All the same !!
