Review: The Last Boy - Various Contributors

Review: The Last Boy - Various Contributors - February 2026 Oh, this one got me right in the chest I'll be honest when I settled into my reading chair with a cup of tea and cracked open The Last Boy, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. Peter Pan reimaginings are a crowded space, and my inner child was feeling a little protective. You see, Hook has been a comfort film of mine for as long as I can remember. Robin Williams' Peter Banning rediscovering his inner Pan is the kind of story that wraps around you like a favourite blanket, and any new take on this world has some very big boots to fill in my heart. But within a handful of pages, I'd completely surrendered to it. Writer Dan Panosian has done something genuinely brave here.

Review: The Lost and the Scarred - Book #1 Kingston City Limits Series - T. Marie Alexander - September 2019 This book is an edgy read and starts off with a bang - literally as we are faced with a stand-off between Roxy's nanny and her father. The book then jumps to Roxy being found curled up in the snow by brothers Josh and Wran. Wran blames Roxy for their problems as his father used to work for Roxy's dad and when he did what he did, their father lost his job and started drinking heavily. On the other hand, though, Wran finds himself drawn to Roxy and wants to protect her. The book then jumps to Roxy being 17 almost 18 years old and working her time between school and her job as a waitress. We also learn that she has had a standing appointment with Josh every Saturday for the past three years. Something else that happened three years ago was that Wran vanished and went to the army, this completely broke Roxy as we learn and now he is back. Roxy doesn...

Review: Lost Girl - Book #1 The Neverwood Chronicles - Chanda Hahn - December 2016 The Lost Girl starts off with our main character Wendy in an institution where the children are being experimented on as it seems they all have been injected with some kind of drug to give them special abilities. The counselor's name is Dr. Smee and one of the main doctors is Dr. Barrie. See where we are going with this? Lost Girl is a rendition of the story of Peter Pan. Hook is the bad guy and his army are called the Red Skulls, they want the kids as part of their army and to use them as soldiers once their powers come to be. What happens though when Dr.Smee and Dr. Barrie realize that the goings-on at Neverland is bad and that they can't subject the kids to it anymore and try to escape. Neverland burns to the ground but separates Wendy and her best friend known as The Boy apart. Years pass and Wendy is now a seventeen-year-old girl as she was adopted after she was found was...
