Losing Gwen was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to survive. I’ve never loved anyone the way I love her.
But finding her was never about that. And now that I have found her–now that she knows the truth about me and the Island, I have to trust her to believe. Because her leaving me didn’t just destroy me–its killing Neverland.
I need her to love me. But we all need her to believe again.
Peter Pan has grown up and found the girl who left–but the stakes are higher than ever in this romantic conclusion to the story begun in Girl Lost.

Forever Found by Nazarea Andrews (Neverland Lost #2)
Rating: 4 stars
Rating: 4 stars
Forever Found is the second and last book in the Neverland Lost series. Hence, the first book, Girl Lost, is a necessary read.
The conclusion to our dear Gwen and Peter. The Girl and The Boy.
Belle is dying, and Peter needs Gwen's help. Gwen has to believe again, if not, all that Peter holds dear will fall apart and he will belong nowhere.
"She was a million tiny pieces, reflecting all of her sadness and tragedy, and it was hidden by practised smiles and the veneer of sanity, but if you scraped a little, she was there. My girl. My lost broken beautiful girl. She would always be there."
Where Girl Lost is written in Gwen's POV, Forever Found is written in Peter's POV. Which I found to be refreshing, as it gives rise to the dilemma he feels inside.
A really nice conclusion though I can't help but want more. ;)
Northern was supposed to be a fresh start—a place where people didn’t know who I was or how I had spent years in and out of mental institutes. People didn't know about my parents death or the island no one heard of. But when Peter sits next to me in lit class, I can’t stop the memories, and I don’t want to. He looks too much like the boy from the island, and despite my best intentions, coaxes my secrets from me.
He’s gorgeous, irresistible, a little mad, and completely lost—we are a pair of broken cogs in a world neither of us truly fits into. He is somehow gentle and fierce, heartbreaking in his devotion and savage in his defense.
When Belle, his best friend, shows up, pale and lovely and sick, Peter pulls away from me, a startling withdrawal. It’s a relationship that scares and confuses me. She is at times warm and friendly, and other times is violent and unpredictable.
Peter says that he wants me, but refuses to let himself get close. And there are secrets, surrounding both of us, that border on nightmares. As the memories close in, as Belle gets sicker and more violent, I’m torn between what is true and what I believe, and what this magical boy knows about my mysterious past.

Girl Lost by Nazarea Andrews is an amazingly fun, interesting twist on an old tale, and it doesn't slap you in the face. Gwendolyn Barrie is a recovering mental patient stepping in college for a fresh start and hoping to leave her past behind her. That all might be possible, except for the boy who looks like her boy, the one who helped her survive the murder of her parents. But for years everyone told her that it wasn't real, couldn't be real... but could Peter change this?
I mean... Peter Pan will never be the same. This is such a deep, discovery of a story. I mean the story is like an onion, there's so many different layers to peel away and it's an amazing journey that I am dying to continue.
Nazarea Andrews is an avid reader and tends to write the stories she wants to read. She loves chocolate and coffee almost as much as she loves books, but not quite as much as she loves her kids. She is the author of the University of Branton series, Neverland Found series, and Edge of the Falls.
She lives in south Georgia with her husband, daughters, and overgrown dog. You can follow her on Facebook and Twitter.
