Second Star to the Left (Reimagined Fairy Tales Book 1) Kindle Edition

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.

The swagger and adventure of Pirates of the Caribbean meets the sexy banter of The Hating Game with a healthy dose of steam in this retelling of Peter Pan that’s far from the Neverland you know.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Captain Hook and Tinkerbell retelling I didn’t know I needed

Packed with swoonworthy romance, adventure on the high seas, and a fabulous cast of characters, Second Star to the Left by Megan Van Dyke shifts the focus of this classic tale to Tinker Bell and Captain Hook and is absolutely delightful. The writing hooked me immediately (pun intended) as I was immersed in this unique version of such a beloved fantasy world.

The romance between Hook and Tink was captivating, with great enemies-to-lovers banter and sparks practically flying off the page. Several heartwarming and tender moments added an extra layer of depth to their story.

The author's added touches to make this world her own were a joy to read and added a much needed freshness. In particular, I LOVED how there are women on Captain Hook's crew and how subtly queernormative this world is. Not once was it ever mentioned or even implied that women are bad luck on ships or unequal to male crew members.

I hope the author is planning to continue writing stories set in this world. I’ve read all the bonus epilogues but would still love more adventures with Hook's crew members, and I need to find out more about Lily, Peter, and the boys.

This was a fun read. To be honest, I’d started it some time back but found I wasn’t in the mood for it at the time, so I put it aside. I picked it up several days ago and happened to be in the right frame of mind for some very light reading so it fit the bill. This isn’t your usual Neverland tale! Tinker Bell is quite a grown up pixie with a mind of her own and a body to match. Captain Hook, rather than being a villain, is a rakish character somewhat in the Rhett Butler mode. Like Scarlett and Rhett, when these two get together, sparks fly! This is a fantasy tale with a considerable amount of sex in it, as well as some humor. If spicy fairytales aren’t your cuppa, this won’t be either.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Adult Neverland you didn’t know you needed

Wow!

Now this is a fun Peter Pan retelling! It tackles two characters that usually don’t get limelight in stories: Hook and Tinker Bell. But don’t expect the versions you know!

Tinker Bell is a sassy, independent girl but she has her reasons! Her motivations are understandable—for family—so even if her actions are questionable, you can’t help but be on her side!

And Hook! Still the dashing, ruthless pirate, but be prepared for another side, a deeper side. A side that you will be questioning whose side you’re on! Hook has joined the ranks of Book Boyfriend!

I do hope this author has other books coming out! Count me in!

This is such a cute read, though the romance is very rushed and not slow burn it worked well enough. The mini adventures that "James " and Tink went thru are magical and a bonding experience. Kind of reminded me of Moana??? All in all a solid cute read but am I curious and intrigue enough to read the next book???? Nah. This book ended on a good note and I'll leave it at that.

I love a retelling and this is one I thoroughly enjoyed. Not only was it a retelling, but it was enemies to lovers, morally grey main character, dark haired villain, one bed trope, found family, touch her and you die tropes...YES PLEASE.

This retelling was so imaginative and felt like a truly new spin on a story we are all familiar with. The writing is fast paced and filled with excitement, adventure, and spice. The chemistry between Hook and Tinker Bell is on point and the BANTER between the two....SO GOOD!

This is a cute retelling of Tinkerbell and Captain Hook. It has enemies to lovers trope, one bed at the inn trope and of course fairies and pirates. The writer has excellent storytelling abilities and if you're not just in it for the spice, you'll be delighted to find the book as a decent plot (unlike many SpiceTok and Bookstagram suggestions.

“In a hurry, love?” His voice was thick, hoarse. Gods, he loved the way she scowled when he called her that. It was one reason he kept using it.”

I was provided an ARC by the author for this book for an honest review.

I’m so glad I got this early. It was exactly what I wanted from an adult retelling. The spice was exquisite, the plot pulled in the perfect amount of lore within Neverland and made it fresh and new.
For those whose favorite characters are also Captain Hook and Tinker Bell, and you secretly ship them (especially when Hook looks similarly to the OUAT Captain Hook aka Killian Jones - that’s who I pictured at least) - this book is for you.

I devoured this book.

It’s no surprise that I’d love this book, as anyone that knows me knows I love pirates and pixies (or any fae) in equal measure - so this book sings to my soul. It’s pacing kept me reading, and I loved ALL the side characters (especially the residents of Coconut Cove).

If you’re looking for a fun escape with familiar characters in a revamped way, some seriously good sexually explicit scenes, and all the pining and craving between two characters- do not hesitate to pick this book up. It’s a fast read (because you won’t want to put it down), and it’s just the book to curl up with and lose yourself in.

“The kiss was everything, salvation and damnation all at once.”

And ^ line will stick with me.

This story hooked me from the start with sexy tension between complex characters. I didn't want to stop reading. Surprising twists kept me captivated until the end, with a satisfying, sizzling love story that was fresh despite this being a retelling. Well written. A dazzling debut.

Tinker Bell, banished from her homeland for selling pixie dust, seeks absolution and seduces Captain Hook to steal precious gems.

Hook believes Tink has a treasure, but he is cursed by her kiss, turning the seas against him. He demands Tink remove the curse, but she cannot. The mermaid queen offers a solution if Tink and Hook work together to retrieve a magical item for her.

As they venture to the Shrouded Isles, their shared nemesis closes in, but their goal may mean losing each other.

I loved loved reading this book. The lines, the spice—this book was too good. I will have a separate post just to share those lines.

This Peter Pan fairytale reimagining was unique, with vivid descriptions and a background that was fun to read and had me "HOOKed". The writing, banter, flow, pace, and everything about this was great and well done. I did shed a tear or two at the sweet and sad parts. Some bits were predictable, but that didn't stop me from turning over the pages quickly.

The characters were brilliant, strong, fierce, lovable, and well developed. They made me feel like a part of their crew. This was beautiful, interesting, and captivating, and I will read more of the author's work.
