In the Neverland, people don’t grow up. Because they’re dead.After Remy Cutler dies, she somehow escapes certain death and returns to the land of the living with nothing but a ripped gown and a fear of heights.Two years later, she plans to escape her arranged marriage by stowing away onto a ship in hopes to leave her home with no one knowing. However, she is discovered, and the sailors aren’t … discovered, and the sailors aren’t happy. Before any damage can be done, she is yanked from her predicament back to The Neverland, a place where death resides – the very place she escaped from years ago. Souls are ferried by her savior. To her, he’s known as Nick, but to The Neverland, he’s the slippery Captain Nicholas Grey, wanted by both the good and the evil.
The more time Remy spends with Nick and his crew, however, the more she realizes he’s shockingly misunderstood. Pirates aren’t all bad the way gentlemen aren’t all good. One such gentleman goes by the name of Peter, and he has nothing but power on his mind and revenge against Grey in his heart.
Then there are those that are completely indiscernible, like James Hook, a Viking and ruler of The Other World, whose sole ambition is attaining more souls to rule over, no matter what the cost. Why he needs the souls, no one knows, but it can’t be good.
If she is going to survive death a second time, Remy must figure out who to trust. Grey has done nothing but protect her, and yet, she cannot deny a strange pull whenever she is around James Hook. A decision needs to be made quickly before she is stuck in The Neverland for the rest of her life.
This dark retelling of Peter Pan infuses familiar characters created by J. M. Barrie with new characters and Greek mythology. It is the first in a trilogy.

This is an interesting well-written story with wonderful characters that have depth and history. This is an interesting story with action, suspense, intrigue and emotion. A good story and a start to a new series.

I enjoyed this book completely and will be looking out for more by this writer. I love a good Peter Pan retelling since it is always really hard to find them out there. Peter Pan is one of my favorite stories and retellings of it always make me wish I could never grow up.

This book was the absolute best rendition of the classic Neverland that I have ever read! These characters were so awesome and full of life even though they were in the Underworld! Great writing! I can not wait for the next book! Great read!

Death In Neverland
The characters are interesting and the story had some good parts, but other parts of it I found difficult to follow at times

A thrilling twisted retelling of a classic fairy-tail filled with danger, mystery, drama, heart pounding action and exciting turns of fate…. Loved this take on the classic Peter Pan with a lot of crazy fun twists, a great adventure from beginning to the thrilling end. Looking forward to the next journey.
This is a very interesting and different pirate story. While some characters are similar to those in Peter Pan, they are different and this is a different story. There is intrigue, greed, action, adventure, and romance. This is a darker tale, and good and evil are not always so east to parse. The world is intricately described and the characters are detailed and varied. Although I enjoyed the story overall, I didn’t like the heroine, Remy, very much. I like a strong, opinionated female lead, but being snarky, selfish, and annoying do not necessarily make the lead strong…or likable.

This is an interesting, entertaining and beautifully twisted version of Neverland. I enjoyed the storyline and if you’ve ever watched a Peter Pan movie or read the book then you know the characters were well represented and then some. We also meet some new characters along the way. Death In Neverland is the first book in the Neverland Trilogy and a I look forward to reading the next two books.
This book pulled me in and kept me entranced till the end. The feelings of love, hate, and pain coming out in waves making you want to cry while you read. This was such a beautiful book! I loved the characters’ wholesomeness!

I’m a little torn. I don’t know quite what to say about this one. I’m sure it doesn’t help that I read the author’s Corsets & Crossbones immediately before this one and so most of what I kept picking up on were the similarities. For the sake of full disclosure, there are errors that an editor or a good beta team should have cleared up. It’s a little bit Pirate’s of the Caribbean, a whole lot of Peter Pan, and then there are some dark twists that are only Neverland. I liked Nick pretty much right off the bat. I think that has as much to do with how much he has in common with the hero of the book I read before this as it is for himself. I’m still trying to connect with Remy. She’s very young, and I have to keep remembering that. She behaves like a spoiled teenager because that’s what she is. I look forward to seeing the woman she becomes throughout the rest of the series.
