“He’ll appear gentle at first, Wendy. Apologize. It will say anything to keep you there. Remember everything he took away from you.” 😒

This book is SO GOOD! 😩

I had been a girl who believed in stories. Who followed a boy through a window because he made the dark seem like an adventure.

And now I understood, too late, too clearly, that I had never been a companion to him. Never a friend. Never even a person. I was a thing he had collected. A voice to tell him stories. A heart to feed his hunger for adoration.

“Peter is the terror. He lies. He steals from the other world. He brings children here to feed the story that keeps him alive.”

I learned too young that victims, in the eyes of the fearful, become indistinguishable from the monsters themselves.
