Year: 2022

Pages: 195

Genre: Romantasy

Grade: F

Reason for reading: library book

Type: paperback

Blurb (from Amazon): "For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their eighteenth birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some for as long as a week or a month. But they always return broken

"Now, on the afternoon of my eighteenth birthday, my mother runs around the house, making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked.

"But it’s pointless.  

"Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go"

Opinion: I'm okay with using classic characters in new stories but yawn. This wasn't a good use of Peter Pan, The Lost Boys, etc
