This is book 5 in the Dirty Heroes Collection about Peter Pan and I have to say this was rather a different spin on a old classic that I have to say I rather enjoyed, because I love all thing’s involving Peter Pan, Tinkerbell and the rest of the gang:)
This was a short read but there’s so much going on you can’t help but keep flipping pages to find out what happened next. This was my first story to read by this author and I’ll be checking out her other book’s.
I am loving this dark retelling of Peter Pan. Set in the modern Hollywood scene, Winsley and Preston meet and everything starts taking place. Preston has dark desires but Tink is not done with him. Winsley has loved him from afar and now has her chance. It’s twisted, dark, sexy, with some twists and turns that makes me like this retelling so much better than the original. It’s short but packs so much that you don’t feel like you miss out on anything.
I simply love how T.L Mayhew has given a new twist to the famous fairy tale Peter Pan. The sparks, love, grudge and combined together is what kept me hooked till the end.
I greatly enjoyed reading this book and simply can’t wait for the next instalment.
I’ve always been a sucker for fairy tales, but now they’re a bit more mature…maybe even bordering on dirtier. Never Lost is TL Mayhew’s twisted homage to Peter Pan and I found it very inventive and could not put it down. Winsley daydreams about a popular actor on the rebound, Preston. When her friend tells her of an opportunity to be cast as an extra in a movie he is shooting, Winsley realizes it may be her only chance to meet her idol. Little do they both know, their meeting will alter their futures in unpredictable ways.
Preston’s ex, Tink, can’t deal with his sexual urges and once she sleeps with another they are over. However, Tink isn’t done with the actor nor his dismissal of her advances. Another person from Preston’s past pops up and once all the players are in place, Ms. Mayhew puts them through their paces. There is instant attraction, long held grudges, a jealous ex, a wannabe star, an an innocent woman is the catalyst for all the action.
While this is a novella a lot of action takes place and the reader is drawn into the drama from the beginning and held in the author’s spell until the very end. I thoroughly enjoyed Never Lost and look forward to more from this author in the future.
*New to me author
Never Lost is part of The Dirty Heroes Collection, and although you do not have to read them in the order they come out, I always try to.
Never Lost is a shorter story of a retelling of Peter Pan. Winsley & Preston have a dark and twisted story to tell. I had to keep reminding myself that this is not a typical story and to take it as what it is. A dirty retelling. But I have to say I did not find a Hero in this retelling.
Never Lost is the fifth book in The Dirty Heroes Collection, multi author series of 14 books based on original fairy tales. I have not read this author before and I’m glad I have now. Going on my list of authors to follow. Their hasnt been too many Peter Pan retellings and I enjoyed this one.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Once upon a time, a scorned Queen opened a box, unleashing horrible evil on the world’s hero’s. Instead of gallantry and chivalry, they now possessed much more perverse traits. They’ve fallen victim to their darkest and most deviant desires. This is one of their stories:

This is a dark retelling of Peter Pan and it is set in modern Hollywood times. . This is the story of Winsley and Preston. Winsley has loved him from afar, and now she has her chance to let him know. However Preston has some dark desires and Tink is not done with him yet. I don’t want to give anything away but know that this is a dark and very twisted retelling and I really like it better than the original. You do not want to miss this book.
