BBNYA2023 Blog Tour ~ 11th Place Finalist ~ Second Star to the Left


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.

Tinker Bell and Captain Hook meet and fireworks ensue. This is so not a tale for little ears. Hubba hubba.


I’m not sure what I was expecting when I went into this story, but it took me by surprise. It’s been so long since I’ve seen Peter Pan (1953 Disney version) that I couldn’t even tell you about it. This is a version that’s for adults and told from Tinker Bell and Captain Hook’s POVs. It has an excellent plot, great characters, and just right pacing. There’s danger and humor and steaminess, oh my! If you like fairy tale retellings then this well-written adventure is just the one for you. Don’t skip it!
