Seas (Wendy Darling #2) by Colleen Oakes (Review)

    Addicting and epic, Wendy Darling: Seas picks up where the first novel left off. Rescued by Captain Hook and his hoard of evil pirates... or is it captured by them; Wendy is thrown into a new highly dangerous situation in which she will do anything to protect her little baby brother, Michael. While facing off pirates, mermaids and constant danger; the threat of Peter Pan still looms as his dark obsession with her grows by the day. Time is running out and if Wendy does not find a way to stop Peter, she knows he will capture her all over again and she will never get back to London with her brothers.
    I really enjoyed this novel. The dark intensity from the first novel transferred well into Wendy Darling: Stars. Wendy was still a very well developed character with a deep capacity to love. Her independent yet polite personality made her interactions with other characters entertaining and unique. On top of all that, there are more really well designed characters in this series. Micheal is a good example of this, his cute adorable childish ways lighten up the story just enough for the readers to keep on reading, and his innocence riles up the protective instinct in almost and reader. Besides the Darlings, the novel is made great by the villain, Peter Pan. Peter both horrifies and rivets the readers into being unable to put the book down. My only real complaint about this book is that there did not seem to be enough Peter Pan in it, but I have a feeling we will be getting plenty more of Peter in the next instalment. I cannot wait until the next novel, and definitely recommend the series. I give Wendy Darling: Stars the rating of FOUR AND A HALF STARS OUT OF FIVE!!!

Wendy Darling: Stars (Wendy Darling #1) by Colleen Oakes (Review)

      Amazing, dangerous and intense; Wendy Darling: Stars brings readers into the world of Peter Pan and Neverland from their childhoods, but with a dark twist. When the infamous Pan comes into the lives of the Darlings, their lives are thrown into chaos and are infected with a dark, dangerous magic. With mystery and death around every corner, Wendy Darling does everything she can do to survive and keep her brothers intact.
      I loved this novel. Its storytelling was masterful and its characters were amazing. Each moment of the story was captivating, drawing the readers in and hooking them so they simply cannot get enough of it. Wendy is a strong, lovable and highly intelligent character. Her reactions to the world and her action in the world of Neverland are done perfectly, pushing on the plot and the story. There is romance in this novel, and I thought it was tastefully done and left me wanting more. Wendy's brothers were each unique and very well developed, especially the five year old. I loved that child, and as I read all I wanted to do was give that kid a big hug. He was extremely adorable. This novel is action pack and on the darker side. I was hooked from the beginning to the end, and cannot wait until the next novel in the series is released! I definitely recommend Wendy Darling: Stars, and give it the rating of FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS!!!
