Stolen by Pan

Stolen by Pan #1

by Jessi Ramey

"The Peter Pan standing in front of me does not have an inviting smile or a cute little fairy flying by his shoulder. He has not shown me an ounce of kindness, and definitely has not offered me to play a game of treasure hunt. He is not the innocently playful twelve-year-old boy I had imagined him to be. Instead, he is a teenager with a blood-stained dagger and a fire in his eyes that leads me to believe that everything the fairy tales told me about him was a lie." Kit was just trying to have a nice night at prom when her life was flipped upside down. Now she is stuck in Neverland and Peter Pan is telling her she is the reason that his island is in danger. All she wants is to go home, but all Peter wants is for Neverland to return to normal. Kit is going to be thrown into a story she has never taken seriously before and realize that her life is more intertwined with the fairy tales than she would like for it to be. Familiar characters will show their true colors and Kit will find out that even some of the most beloved childhood characters can turn out to be the worst villains.

When most people think of Peter Pan, the image of a green-clad cheerful scamp flying through the forest with a fairy by his side pops to mind. He’s mischievous and childlike but relatively harmless, right? Welp, take that idea and toss it out the window, because this Peter Pan is the opposite. Sharp and dangerous, he’s like the edge of youth where you feel invincible and wild. The main character, Kit, is kidnapped and then caught up in Pan’s Neverland, a world where mermaids want to kill you, trust seems impossible, and curses are real. When Kit discovers she has deep connections to Neverland and emerald-eyed Peter, things become increasingly complicated. With plot twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat, Stolen By Pan is an excellent read for anyone who loves a good twisted fairy tale.

4.5⭐️ Crazy. 😝 so much happened. True enemies to lovers like they really hated each other more than anything 🤣🤣🤣 so many plot twists towards the end. I love Pan😍😍

this took me like three months to read bc I was in a reading slump, I've been so busy with work and I've been focusing on writing my own book 😍

If you like the show once upon a time you will love this🤣 definitely excited for book 2

Absolutely loved this book! It took an amazing fairytale and made it better! I’ll be patiently waiting to see what happens to Kit and Peter

[Kaili Griffin · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great read! It did take me a little while to get through and the beginning was slow but it really picked up with so many twists and turns at the end and left with a cliff hanger. I will definitely want to read the rest of the series.

[Renée Knight · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a twisty one! It starts in a contemporary setting before whisking Kit, the main character, away to Neverland. Peter Pan is a confusing mystery - alternately stern, angry, and gentle, and Kit is unsure how she feels about him. I was too! No spoilers here, just be prepared for plot twists near the end! :)

I stumbled upon this book at my local library, Stolen by Pan and picked it because the author was local! I am so glad I did, I absolutely could not put the book down. I always love a good fairytale spin off, and this was a great read! Peter Pan was the villain in the series and I loved it! This book also has an enemy-lovers tale. Jessi Ramey pulled you in as if you knew each of the characters and you were in Neverland with them! This is the first book of the trilogy and I’m starting the second one today!! I cannot wait to see where the next book takes me! The third one will be released in September! If you love a good fairytale retelling this is the book for you!

Think about what you know of Peter Pan, Neverland, Hook, and the Lost Boys; throw it all out because you don’t know this version.
Kit was trying to have a nice night at prom and it just went downhill when her life was flipped upside down.
If you love fairy tales you will love this VERY different version. There is enough plot twists to keep you interested and wanting to jump onto the next book right after you finish!

I picked up this book with the idea of it being something my 4th grader and I could both read and enjoy talking about together. I really didn’t expect the story to capture my attention as much as it did! My son is already half way through the book after two days. The storyline is a mix of current day and mythical characters colliding. There is mild teenager drama and young love in the story, which I think broadens the readership audience even more.

[Stephanie Cotton · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was surprisingly captivating. I read this book after several of my 7th grade students insisted I read this book. The book was nothing like I expected. Stolen by Pan takes everything you thought you knew about Neverland and turns it upside down. It is a must-read for anyone who loved the story of Peter Pan as a child.

[CraftyOddBall · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ok, I'm extremely biased, but I always loved the story of peter Pan, and this book was granted my childhood dream! I love how both kit and peter were typically keeping things from each other, and the foreshadowing the author was about to sprinkle throughout the story! Highly highly recommend if you wanted to run away to neverland!

[Hannah Whorton · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m obsessed. The writing was just okay, but the plot?!?! I’m honestly so surprised this book isn’t more popular. The way she blended Neverland and the story of Peter Pan with so many other fairy tales and created this whole magical universe was so creative! I can’t wait to pick up the next one in the series. HIGHLY recommend!

Draws you in

This story so easily pulls you in and makes you feel connected to these stunningly written characters. It's an entirely new spin on a beloved fairy tale and I adored every second.

[Ash Wood · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is one of my absolute favorites! It retells a classic tale in a new and exciting way, with a slow slow slow burn romance and magic at every turn. A must read for lovers of romance and fantasy!!

[Erica Warner · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rating: 5.5

Do I love it? No. Do I hate it? No. It’s definitely has a few good twists and turns, a cute love story (the way I squealed at some of the lines tho!!). It’s not what I expected but I’m not mad at it. I’m excited to see what the second book does!

4.5 stars ⭐️

This was such a fun read! There were so many twists and turns, and by the end I was on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend this to anyone who has always wanted to fly to Neverland. 😄

[Lauren Whitley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book! The magic and plot are so new and interesting with characters you have always known and loved!

4.5

I was forced to read this book with my class and I must say I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was but I am not the biggest fan of fairy tales so 4.5.

[Taylor Chitwood · Rating 1 out of 5]

I absolutely couldn’t stand Kit. She was a wimp

[Megan Dobberteen · Rating 3 out of 5]

3⭐️’s A good read but not my favorite. I felt like it was about 100+ pages too long. Probably won’t continue the series

[Maé · Rating 2 out of 5]

sad to say it's one of the worst peter pan retellings i've read

[cianna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow I was not expecting to love this as much as I did. I almost DNFed in the first few chapters but I'm so glad I stuck with it. The writing might not always be the best, but the story had me completely sucked in to where I couldn't put it down. If you're going to write a Peter Pan story, you better get imaginative with your Neverland, and Ramey 100% did that. I was fully immersed in her Neverland and loved her creativity in building the world.

This book is getting to experience running around Neverland with the Lost Boys, playing games and telling stories by the fire and fighting pirates and visiting mermaids and basically everything you could want from a Peter Pan book.

I also really appreciated the romance in this. I loved how naturally Kit and Peter's relationship unfolded throughout the story. It felt realistic to me, like two people slowly growing from enemies to friends to lovers. And I loved how Neverland slowly became home to Kit, and the Lost Boys family. It warmed my Peter Pan-loving heart and left a giddy smile on my face for so much of my reading experience.

This was SO MUCH FUN and I definitely recommend it if you're a fan of Peter Pan or wanted more from the Neverland season of Once Upon a Time. Sitting between a 4.75 and 5 stars, because despite any issues, I keep thinking about it and wanting to reread it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️FIVE STARS FOR YOU! FIVE STARS FOR YOU⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh. my. gosh. This book was soooo good. 😭❤️ It was EXACTLY what I wanted. It was an amazing enemies-to-lovers story. I love how the author used different fairytales and changed them to fit the story! Wonderland actually being Neverland? BRILLIANT. And the book started out as a OUAT Peter Pan fanfic! I love Robbie Kay’s Peter Pan



I live for PeterxKit moments. Holding her during the storm to calm her, holding her hand when she talked about her nightmares, AND DON'T SAY oh he was using his magic… Mhm. Ok. I wanted them to get together through the whole book😭

Pg 99
"Do you suppose she has Siren magic?" I wonder out loud. A Siren was my initial thought when I first met Kit at that ridiculous dance I followed her to. Her earth-toned hair and honey-colored eyes caught me off guard. The music seemed to fade into the background when she made eye contact with me - only for a second though. Sirens are known for enchanting men,making then pause and become fools. Once in a while, when I'm least expecting it, and when Kits eyes meet mine, I feel that pause."
I found it hilarious how Peter thought Kit was a siren cause he didn't know why else he'd be stunned by her looks😂

Pg 194
"What if she doesn't want to come back with us?" Knox asks with his hand raised above him. He still has the habit of raising his hand like we are in school."
Pg 195
"We all know that as soon as the hour is up and I enter the playing field, they don't stand a chance.
"Am I allowed to be on your team?" Zig asks, earning him a smack around the back of the head from Walter"
I love Slightly. And Zig and Knox are hilariously adorable😂

Pg 193
"I turn back to the beach just in time to see Hook reach out and grab Kit by the wrist with his hook. He yanks her forward, and air leaves my body. Several of the boy's flinch. Knox is even quick enough to pull his crossbow out and take aim."
I also love how all the Lost Boys adopted Kit as another one of them. Taking care of her, keeping her company. Protecting her. They're all like protective brothers and I love it.

Pg 148
"His eyes stay on me, but he keeps fearfully glancing at the approaching clouds. There is no comfort in his voice, only panic. I think of the last storm I created when Peter was focused on me and held me until it was all over. It was as if we were the only two people on the island. He knew exactly what to do; he was confident he could calm me down. Even without his magic, the calmness in him was enough. He was grounded when I was out of control, and ur acted as my anchor when I needed it most. Now with Nibs, I feel like a freak of nature because he is too scared to even touch me."

Pg 151
"He pauses and equates his hook, forcing me to lift my chin more. I wish he would shut up, but I know better than to say that out loud. " The fire in his eyes when I threatened your life last time you were here; I had never seen anything like that in him before."

Definitely the best book I have ever read. I'm waiting for the second book of the trilogy to come in the mail which was just released this week!
