Second Star to the Left Review Spotlight


Welcome to the book tour for Second Star to the Left by Megan Van Dyke! Readers who love fairytale fantasy retellings of their favorite stories are not going to want to miss out on this beautifully written standalone novel. 


Have you ever wanted to return to Neverland? Or just maybe the characters the embodied the story, but with something fresh and new? Well, we've got a pretty spectacular book for you to check out. And no, we're not just talking about the cover. Which is pretty stunning by the way. 

Author Megan Van Dyke has brought readers the beginning of a collection of stories that will take familiar fairytales and give them a new and fresh spin. This story? If you already haven't guessed...it's Tinker Bell's story. It's a page-turner so settle in and have fun!

Tinker Bell has been exiled from her home because she broke one of the few rules that they have - don't sell your dust. There's a reason for the rule, but it was one that at the time...Tink felt that she had to break. When you read her story you'll have to agree that...in her case...an exception should have been made. But we're getting ahead of ourselves here. So let's take a step back, shall we?

When you meet Tink in this book she's playing the "shy damsel." What she's really up to? Well, she's planning a theft. Thieves stealing from thieves. Who is the mark? Why the "infamous" Captain James Hook. Yes! The Captain Hook himself. Why him? Did he do something wrong to Tink? Nope, he just has something she desperately wants. 

Cue some heat coming your way and so early in the story, too! Watch out for Smee because this is NOT your childhood Peter Pan story right here. LOL! While Tink may get her momentary goal, she's still got a long way ahead of her. But don't worry, Tink's and James's paths will cross again, and things are going to be absolutely delightful.

Second Star to the Left is an engaging fantasy novel that gives readers a fresh new twist on Tinker Bell and Captain Hook. They aren't the only ones though! My jaw may have been on the floor with this author's twist on Smee. Heellloooo sir! LOL! 

Prepare for a few steamy situations in this book! They are perfectly delicious and we had ZERO issues with them let me just tell y'all that right now. LOL! The back and forth between Tink and James is everything. They're drawn to each other, but they are also wary of each other. There are going to be some moments where you think that someone is working to tear them apart, but can they work through it all? 

Second STar to the Left is a standalone novel so you can expect everything to be wrapped up nicely by the end of this story. At the halfway point, things are going to really kick up a notch so hang on to your butts and be prepared to be swept away! 

This book was so much fun to read, you're not going to want to miss out on what this author puts out next. 

5 out of 5 stars

Blurb


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.
