A teen girl finds herself lost on a dangerous adventure in this YA thriller by the acclaimed author of The Wicker King and The Weight of the Stars-reimagining Peter Pan for today's world.

On Wendy Darling's first night in Chicago, a boy called Peter appears at her window. He's dizzying, captivating, beautiful-so she agrees to join him for a night on the town.

Wendy thinks they're heading to a party, but instead they're soon running in the city's underground. She makes friends-a punk girl named Tinkerbelle and the lost boys Peter watches over. And she makes enemies-the terrifying Detective Hook, and maybe Peter himself, as his sinister secrets start coming to light. Can Wendy find the courage to survive this night-and make sure everyone else does, too?

Reviews for Darling

[Samantha Johnson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The ending was so satisfying! Literally, was left with a smile on my face moving on from the book, no book hangover, just a good feeling of seeing a good story through.

Significant editing mistake in a chapter (I didn’t take note of where it was specifically) - narrator repeats the same line about 4 times
