Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson
When I first heard about this book I knew I had to have it. I thought both the premise and the cover were beautiful. I always wondered about the stories of the lesser known characters in fairy tales and this was exactly what I was looking for.
My first impression of this book was pure genius. I LOVED Anderson's writing style and the metaphors and similes she used. So many pages that I had to write down and write beside it something like "OMG" or "Awwww so pretty!" Then, because of such amazing writing, the imagery was fantastic! The pictures she gave me in my mind were amazing.
I also loved how connected we get with the characters. All of them, the Lost Boys, Peter, Tiger Lily... This was a little harder because the story is actually written from Tinker Bell's point of view. It's told as she's watching all the events take place. And just as Tinkerbell, there are some events that will bring out every type of emotion in you. Just as I did, you will swoon, cry, and get upset. It will take you on an emotional roller coaster.
Once the romance comes in to play, it is wonderful. They are seriously too cute together. But just as always, nothing is perfect. Some things transpire and all of a sudden their romance they had takes a serious turn.
This story is sooo good. So many things you thought you knew about Peter, you didn't.
Here is a quote to get you to understand what I mean...
“Let me tell you something straight off. This is a love story, but not like any you've ever heard. The boy and the girl are far from innocent. Dear lives are lost. And good doesn't win.”
