The first night Wendy Darling spends in Chicago, a boy named Peter shows up at her window. She decides to accompany him on a night out since she finds him to be fascinating, alluring, and gorgeous.
Wendy believes they are going to a party, but they soon begin racing through the city's underworld. She makes friends with the lost guys Peter looks for as well as Tinkerbelle, a punk girl. And as Peter's deadly secrets begin to surface, she begins to develop enemies, including the scary Detective Hook and maybe Peter himself. Can Wendy muster the fortitude to make it through this evening and ensure that everyone else does as well?
I adore traditional tales that have been given a dark twist. I like the suspense element of this story, but I felt that everything happened far too quickly. I hated the majority of the characters, but the plot thankfully kept the book alive. Reading another thriller with dimwitted people was intolerable.
