Can't Wait Wednesday: Shadow

   

    Hi! Welcome to another Can't-Wait-Wednesday post. The pick for this month is a teeny bit different, as I technically have an ARC version of it on my personal TBR list. However, the author is so great and I loved the prequel so much that I just HAD to feature it on here!

    Below, you can find the cover, synopsis, and my reasons for waiting on this. Click on the author's name to head to her website, and click on the book title to go to the special link.

Shadow by Kara Swanson

Release Date: February 23, 2021

    Desperate to rescue Claire and the fractured Lost Boys, Peter must unravel what truly tore his dreamland apart. But with each step, he is haunted by more of his own broken memories. Not even Pan himself is what he seems.

    Claire Kenton is chained to a pirate ship, watching the wreckage of Neverland rocked by tempests. When she finally finds her brother, Connor is every bit as shattered as the island. Claire may have pixie dust flowing in her veins—but the light of Neverland is flickering dangerously close to going out forever.

    To rescue Neverland from the inescapable shadow, the boy who never grew up and the girl who grew up too fast will have to sacrifice the only thing they have left: each other.

Why I'm Waiting on This: Ever since I read Dust, I've loved Kara Swanson's writing, and am so excited to dive into the sequel. I've only finished the first chapter, but I can tell it's going to be an amazing, suspenseful ride for everyone who wants to try it! And, of course, I'm excited for the time after it releases, when readers from all over the world will be eager to enjoy, discuss, and debate over the end of this wonder-filled, well written duology.
