When Wendy Darling is enlisted in a special unit of the Home Office - to help protect Great Britain from magical creatures - she's one step closer to her dream of enlisting in the Royal Navy. However, things for Wendy become complicated when she meets Peter Pan and his Lost Boys, a specially dangerous type of creature with a charm that captures her. Wendy needs to figure out how to defeat Peter Pan, and works with the famous Captain Hook to do so. But as Wendy talks more to Peter, is he really as bad as he seems?

I really liked this retelling of Peter Pan - I found it very original, and really well written. Wendy is a character full of feeling, and ambition and she is stalled because of the time period and her gender. There were frustrating times in this when Wendy was met with misogynistic people (like Captain Hook), and then people who always wanted to protect her (John and Michael) when she's perfectly capable of protecting herself.

Peter Pan in this was very odd - a type of vampire like creature with wings and supernatural strength and healing? I would have liked more answers about what exactly he and the Lost Boys were. He came across as a young man (19 or 20 to Wendy's 17 years probably) but he did talk like a boy at times.

I also would have preferred for Michael and John to have zero romantic feelings for Wendy. Because they're her brothers in the original tale, it was just weird that they seemed to fancy her in this one and it made me feel a bit gross!

I will definitely pick up the next book to see what happens next!
