Synopsis

My brother is dying.I won’t allow it.Cedric needs medicine—better yet, a fucking miracle—but given that we’re trapped in Neverland, I’m forced to turn to our enemies for help, the ones we’ve been slaughtering at any and every opportunity: Neverland’s natives. It’s suicide, but if death is what I risk to give him a chance, so be it.Only… they don’t kill me. One of them saves me. I may be her prisoner, but there’s something more between us, something as forbidden as it is intoxicating. And as the lines between love and hate grow more blurred by the hour, I’m faced with an impossible choice.Let down my walls and trust a stranger, my enemy, or risk Cedric’s life… and my own fragile heart.The Serpent and the Swallow is a prequel novella to the Curses of Never Series told from Elvira’s point of view, and features a blooming sapphic romance. It is best read between A Sea of Eternal Woe (Book Two) and A Forest of Blackened Trees (Book Three). Perfect for fans of Once Upon a Time and Pirates of the Caribbean, these LGBTQ+ friendly adult reimaginings are filled to the brim with monsters, magic, and pirates.

The ending was obvious there. We all knew it ngl. And I didn't really feel the plot. But to be fair I don't like her character too much. She was so independent the last books that it didn't feel quite right......more
