About the author

Kendra Moreno is secretly a spy but when she’s not dealing in secrets and espionage, you can find her writing her latest adventure. She lives in Texas where the summer days will make you melt, and southern charm comes free with every meal. She’s a recovering Road Rager (kind of) and slowly overcoming her Star Wars addiction (nope!), and she definitely didn’t pass on her addiction to her son (she did). She has one hellhound named Mayhem who got tired of guarding the Gates of Hell and now guards her home against monsters. She’s a geek, a mother, a scuba diver, a tyrannosaurus rex, and a wordsmith who sometimes switches out her pen for a sword.

If you see Kendra on the streets, don’t worry: you can distract her with talks about Kylo Ren or Loki.

Este libro llegó a destrozarmeee ☝🏻

Campanita está desespera por conseguir salvar al país De Nunca Jamás y tiene miedo de no poder salvar a su gente pero con todo esto Atlas llega para poder acompañarla en esta desesperación y controlar su sed de sangre, ella no quiero encariñarse por qué no sabe si saldrá viva de esto pero igual quiere vivir el momento.

Estaba súper emocionada de seguir con esta historia, la verdad está pareja en encanta, sentía que súper quedaban y la química uff me encantó, eso sí ya llevo varios libros y me doy cuenta que no tiene tanto desarrollo el romance por qué son libros muy cortos, la verdad me encantaría que si lo hiciera pero weno, tendre que hacerme a la idea.

Tanto Atlas como Campanita me gustaron mucho él es súper lindooo, no puedo creer como creció 🥺 aún recuerdo cuando lo conocimos en el libro de Cal y vemos lo mucho que maduro y neta creo que el mejor protagonista masculino hasta el momento, sabe lo que quiere y lucha por ello, siempre la cuido y respeto todo lo que ella pedía y Campanita está hada guerrera que en el primer libro se veía súper intimidante vemos todo lo vulnerable que es y como cuida a los que quiere 🥹

Me gustó bastante todo y ese final me dejó queriendo saber más, me encantan los retelling 🌚

¡Desde aquí hablará más libremente así que habrá spoiler muy importantes!

Si yo pensaba que las muertes de los libros pasados me dolieron uff las de aquí me destruyeron, bueno la de Peter en el libro pasado aún es una herida que no sana y cuando pasaban algo de su hija mi corazón se apachuraba y luego cuando algunos de los seres decidieron no salir y morir en su mundo me dió mucha tristeza en especial para las chicas, las tres hijas por qué era su gente pero la cereza del pastel fue el final.

Wendy tiene que matar a sus hermanos y en ese momento no puede y lloré muchooo (de hecho mientras escribo esto empecé a llorar otra vez) y es que ella hizo todo lo posible por cuidar de ellos por eso llegó a ese mundo en primer lugar y una vez que ellos se convirtieron en bestias ella no podía con la culpa de que no pudo salvarlos y cuando se reencontraron y había esperanza de recuperarlos paso esto y es que yo tengo hermanos y no puedo imaginar todo lo que pasó Wendy 😭 neta me llegó profundo y lo que al final ellos le dijeron me mato 💔

I didn't love this one as much as I did the previous book. But it was still a good story and it's the conclusion to the Daughters of Neverland series. Although there is one more book of short stories left to come. Looks like we are headed to Oz next.

Yet again I find myself completely in awe of Kendra’s writing. The world’s she builds and characters she creates stick with you even after the book/series is finished. This series and this book in particular had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I absolutely loved the push and pull between Atlas and Tink as well as their dynamic with the other characters. This series has taken my heart on a rollercoaster ride and I absolutely need more!

[Tammy Hudson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story and characters the world building it should be made into a movie it is like you are really there. Tink and Atlas are so adorable and getting to hear from all Wonderland characters was a great bonus I can't say enough great things about this book and series I highly recommend

While Vicious as a Darling is my favorite in this series, I really enjoyed reading this book! I finished it in two days and didn’t want to put it done! It got in the feels and I wasn’t expecting that.

I have a mix of emotions right now. That final scene with Tink and Atlas, cute with a small hint of funny thanks to Cheshire and Cal. The Epilogue which I won't spoil has got me a little curious and nervous at the same time, while really tempted to dive straight into "Heirs of OZ" after reading "Monstrous as a Croc". Meanwhile, the sadness of certain characters dying, and a few other scenes are still making me want to cry.
Firstly, I love the banter throughout this book, both between the different couples and just the characters in general. I liked the scene between Flam and Atlas' and how it highlights their friendship, for a character. Also that tiny scene with Flam and Aniya, so cute. Heck, Aniya is an absolute cinnamon roll as a child.
The romance between Tink and Atlas (was hinted at in the last book) was alright in my opinion, we saw moments of Tink being extremely concerned for Atlas, and visa versa, when Tink went into a bloodlust state and Atlas chases after her. (Side Note: Altas is faster than both Cheshire and White, neat.)
I liked the more different POV chapters that we got, mostly in Wendy's and Atlas' POV, and then one of the Crocodile's. The ones involving Clara or Hatter left me extremely concerned for them both, but that scene of them in New York, made me laugh.
Don't really know what else to say for the moment, only that I enjoyed this book, if I get any after-thoughts I'll add them.

As usual Kendra knows how to end a series, all the emotions. You will feel it all! Its an amazing ending, but with so much questions so when you're done you are happy with knowing she will write more.

It's a perfect ending for Neverland... well maybe not, you know when you read it what I mean. But it's the perfect ending for this part of the story.

You will hate Kendra and want to hug her at the same time.

If you're not familiar with this series start at the beginning with Sons of Wonderland and fall in love.

This is my favorite book in the Daughters of Neverland series. I loved Wendy’s and Tiger’s books, but this one! “Wow” is so inadequate. This is the final battle to stop the Crocodile, save Neverland and everyone in it. But along the way, the Wicked Pixie Queen finds something she never knew she had. Will they be victorious? Will everyone survive? And what really happens if you don’t beware the happy thoughts? I could not put this book down and highly recommend it.

[Dawntay Armonta · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best so far. I was blown away by Tink, she is beautiful but deadly. Take this journey with her. She see's herself a monster, believing she is unworthy of love. Yet you have to read to find out what they fates have planned for this wicked pixie queen. This is fast paced, non stop. You have twist turns danger and heat. This is a can't put down from start to finish. Can't wait foe the next journey.

OMG WOW!!!! Every book I read on this series is better than the one before! I didn't think there was a way to do better than tiger but this one does. The love story between Atlas and Tink is so full of beauty and pain and bright and dark... And the end of chapter 32? Blew my head up!!! Can't wait for book 4 and see how this craziness is solved and also to see if "you" is who I want it to be!

[Katie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow this was so good!!!! Loving all of Kendra Moreno’s stories. This series literally got me all giddy. You will fall in love with all the characters and the storyline. Story will leave you wanting more. Definitely recommend reading this one. Actually read all her stories. You will love them all. Again loved this story and I want more!!!!

[Ashley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wicked as a Pixie was by far the best of the Neverland saga. It was interesting and fun and at times downright heartbreaking in the most beautiful way. Kendras books never disappoint!

[Bella Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I cried. Yes people I actually cried towards the end. And what an end!!!! I can't wait to read more from this author. She knows how to write a book.
