Wendy Darling Vol 3. Shadow by Colleen Oakes


Wendy Darling Vol 3. Shadow by Colleen Oakes

Goodreads Blurb: War has come to paradise, and the Neverland you know will never be the same.

Wendy Darling finds herself once again in the arms of Peter Pan, a charming god-child who desires power above all things. Instead of the passion she once had for him, however, this time Wendy’s hear burns with a secret: with Hook as her ally, she is there to defeat the evil that lies inside of Peter, the darkness that holds all Neverland hostage—the Shadow.

This is a task made nearly impossible by the arrival of Booth, her sweetheart from London and a new pawn in Peter's manipulative game—a boy whose heart she must break in order to save his life.

As all of Neverland prepares to fight, Wendy races to untangle Peter's connection to the Shadow, a secret long buried in the Forsaken Garden. When the time comes, all of Neverland will rise to fight—but if Wendy can't call the Shadow, everything she is fighting for will be destroyed. Is Wendy’s love for her family enough to save them, or will Peter’s madness consume them all?


My Thoughts:  Finally I was able to get me hands on this book and I was so excited to read it I feel like I read it too fast and now the adventure is over but I don’t want to leave Neverland! The book picks up right where book 2 leaves off and Wendy has so much going, so many secrets to keep track of and she has to be on her A-game 24/7. I like Wendy best in this book versus book 1 and 2. I feel like Wendy has become more of a bad-ass and in charge of her future than before. Though I am sad this is the final book I found the ending to be unexpected and not where I thought the story was going to go. I feel like how Colleen Oakes ended the book she could do a continuation but I ‘m not which character direction I would want her to go in.

A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket



A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket

My thoughts: I couldn’t find a good summary explaining at 13 books and putting in a short summary of all 13 individually would be too much so I am just starting with my opinion on the series as a whole. I remember when these books first started to come out and it didn’t seem like something I would be interested it until now. After finding Netflix was going to start a series on it I thought why not pick one up and see what it is all about. I was nervous at first to start reading them because I’m 24 and I was worried people would think I was weird for reading a children’s book but after going through Goodreads and seeing readers my age and older reading them I said the heck with it and plowed through all 13.I really like how each book has its own setting and Olaf’s schemes to get the children are always completely different. The major issue I have with this series is the ending. I wasn’t expecting a happy ending, all the books tell you more than once that it wasn’t going to be that type of story but for me the ending could have been better, considering everything the 3 children went through.
Thoughts on the Netflix series to come!

What Janie Saw by Caroline B. Cooney (#4.5 Janie Johnson)



“Discover what still matters to Janie, who was kidnapped as a toddler and reunited with her birth family as a teenager, and who may still be in danger as a young woman.”



In this ebook short story, Janie’s story becomes once again in the media spotlight by help of the Visionary Assassins, a band that Reeve brought into the limelight while in What Janie heard. This song and video unfortunately seen by everyone in the country, more specifically Hannah Javerson.

This short story I’m not too sure of, it was only 32 pages, but showed a somewhat evil side of Hannah. It was a strange leap from the 4th installment of the series when Hannah got the remaining amount of money in her father’s account.

In this story, Hannah is working two jobs to stay afloat and live, but more importantly has it out for Janie. While Janie is trying to decide what she will do for college, where she can go to disappear, and if she can fully love and trust Reeve again.
