Everland (Everland, #1)

Everland is a steam-punk/dystopian retelling of Peter Pan. A quite enjoyable one at that.
It takes place in a post-apocalyptic London that was destroyed by bombs and a deadly virus known as the Horologia virus.
The chapters alternate between Gwen and Hook's POV. While I would have liked to see a chapter or two from Pete or Bella's perspective I can understand why it focuses more on Gwen and Hook.
Hook is looking for Gwen who he finds out is the only person who is truly immune to the virus so he needs her for a cure. Meanwhile, Gwen with the help of Pete and the Lost Boys sets out to rescue her sister who was captured by Hook and his marauders.
I don't want to spoil the book for anyone so I won't say any more than that but if you're a fan of retellings that manage to stay (somewhat) true to the original while also crafting an imaginative new story I'd suggest giving Everland a try.
