Second Star To The Left

Reimagined Fairy Tales, Book 1

By: Megan Van Dyke

Narrated by: Sienna Frances, Dan Calley

Tinker Bell, banished from her homeland for doing the unthinkable, selling the hottest drug in Neverland—pixie dust—wants absolution.

Determined to find a way home, Tink doesn't hesitate to follow the one lead she has, even if that means seducing a filthy pirate to steal precious gems out from under his . . . hook.

Captain Hook believes he's found a real treasure in Tink. That is, until he recovers from her pixie dust laced kiss with a curse that turns the seas against him. With his ship and reputation at the mercy of raging storms, he tracks down the little minx and demands she remove the curse. Too bad she can't.

However, the mermaid queen has a solution to both of their problems, if Tink and Hook will work together to retrieve a magical item for her.

As they venture to the mysterious Shrouded Isles to find the priceless treasure, their shared nemesis closes in. However, his wrath is nothing compared to the realization that achieving their goal may mean losing something they never expected to find—each other.

Contains mature themes.

Hook.

great twist on one of my favorites fairy tales. i could see this turning into its own series. it would be great if you wrote a second book, with new adventures for hook, tink and the lost boys.

Off kilter fairytale fanfic

“If they went their separate ways it would suck more than anything.”
Um, yeah. The dialogue was very high school, matching the overall shallow plot of a TSTL girl lusting over a guy’s muscles. The handful of sex scenes didn’t work for me, given the otherwise juvenile romance.

If an author is going to build off someone else’s inspiration, then the twist should add something amazing. The story was just a lot of Peter Pan, pirate, and fantasy cliches. It was fine for a one and done listen, but I’m regretting getting the trilogy.
