Vicious as a Darling (Daughters of Neverland Book 1)

What an amazing new series that beautifully ties in with the previous one and shows off the author's glorious imagination! I loved every minute of this book and can't wait for the next one!I have to admit that Neverland was never my destination of interest but after reading this book, I can't wait to go back. Don't get me wrong, there are no unicorns and rainbows or happy thoughts, there is darkness, there is evil, there are monsters and corrupt magic, but there is an abundance of love, and loyalty, and friendship, and acceptance, and support, and there is even passion.Wendy is an amazing, strong, independent, and resilient character, and not just because or since she became a daughter but before then, as well. Her incorruptible genuine goodness touches everyone who meets her, and her undying desire to help everyone she can help, makes people respect her, follow her and be loyal to her. Hook is the other side of the coin, but not in the negative sense. He is darker because of his past but he was also touched by the wonder of Wendy which brought some inevitable changes to his character. Their connection is undeniable and their bond unbreakable. I loved both characters and I enjoyed their not so romantic romance. It was absolutely beautiful.The story is amazing. The author has the ability to create incredible darkness, then bring light to the darkness, and do all of that with so much suspense, unexpected twists, and a reasonable dose of heat. The book kept me on the edge of my seat!

I loved this book! As a big Sons of Wonderland fan, I was super excited for this spin-off series set in Neverland. This is not the Neverland you grew up with. It’s darker, harder, more deadly and gritty. There’s so much potential for both the good - who don’t dare think happy thoughts, and the Lost. The Lost are a definite curiosity, and I’m already speculating on what has happened to them and what’s going to happen with them. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds. The Wonderlanders make a brief appearance in this book and will no doubt have a bigger part in the next books. It’s not necessary to have read the Wonderland series to read this book. Neverland is a completely different world and easily stands on its own. But if you haven’t read the Wonderland series, I encourage you to do so. I encourage you to read this, then go and read the Sons of Wonderland while you’re waiting for the next book in this series. And if you’ve read the Sons, you know how epic this is.

Vicious as a Darling is the beginning of a retelling of Neverland like you've never seen before! I loved how the author interconnects her Sons of Wonderland series into this series. I was a huge fan of that series and was sad to see the characters go. I never imagined the take on the Neverland characters that they are in this book. I don't think I ever thought I would say Captain Hook is a sexy pirate lol. I'm excited to see where the rest of this series goes and how the war rages on in Neverland.

Loving this Neverland retelling so much! Vicious as a Darling is the first book in the spin off Daughters of Neverland from Sons of Wonderland (Which I highly recommend reading as well!) Kendra Moreno does an amazing job creating a dark version of Neverland and doesn't disappoint! I'm already loving all the characters even the villian!! Definately looking forward to when the Wonderland team joins up with the daughters of Neverland. Now to wait for the next book!!

This is wicked, naughty and dangerously good!!! a new twist to the beloved Neverland! Omg you guys need to read this!! It will blow your mind 🤯off! I love retellings! And is nice to see the Adult retellings like you never seen before! this one is just that!! Kendra has an awesome storytelling! ive been hooked since i read mad as a hatter! her stories become so real you vividly see everything clearly like a movie! Give this book a try!! Warning #Naughty#Hook#Wendy#pirates

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. I have since bought it. Wow! I absolutely loved this retelling of Peter Pan. And I may be in love with Captain Hook.I love this new Neverland that Ms. Moreno created. She took the beloved story, characters and Neverland itself and truly made it her own. I'm seeing each character- Wendy, Hook, Peter, Tiger Lily, Tink and even Smee in a different light.The story was full of action and adventure, friendship and love, happiness and sadness. I'm hooked, lol. I can't wait for book 2!

I could not put this book down, even though I had to.... After reading the Son's of Wonderland, and waiting for The Daughters of Neverland, I was not disappointed. This book was action packed with a great storyline, and of course the love story! I just can't!!! It was awesome. I can't wait for the next one!!

Another amazingly dark trip to a favorite world. This book is a spin off from the Son's of Wonderland series and did not disappoint! The world building and character development bring new life and depth to characters we thought we knew... I can't wait for more from this author.

I loved loved loved Kendras Sons of Wonderland and was quite sad to see them go and couldn't wait to see what see would do with Neverland.She did amazing, that's what! This is quite the outlook on Neverland and their characters, dont think you know which way she goes because it's wrong. The sons make a small cameo in this one but I think they play a bigger role in the next one.If you don't know of the sons it's not necessary to read them to understand this book, but if you will read them you get extra excited when they will be mentioned.5 stars!!
