Hooked Review

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I know since this week is my Spring Break, I will definitely be recharging as much as possible and reading of course! Today I bring you a dark retelling of Peter Pan.

“From international bestselling author Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious fractured fairy tale reimagining of Peter Pan.

He wants revenge, but he wants her more…

James has always had one agenda: destroy his enemy, Peter Michaels. When Peter’s twenty-year-old daughter Wendy shows up in James’s bar, he sees his way in. Seduce the girl and use her for his revenge. It’s the perfect plan, until things in James’s organization begin to crumble. Suddenly, he has to find the traitor in his midst, and his plan for revenge gets murkier as James starts to see Wendy as more than just a pawn in his game.

Wendy has been cloistered away most of her life by her wealthy cold father, but a spontaneous night out with friends turns into an intense and addictive love affair with the dark and brooding James. As much as she knows James is dangerous, Wendy can’t seem to shake her desire for him. But as their relationship grows more heated and she learns more about the world he moves in, she finds herself unsure if she’s falling for the man known as James or the monster known as Hook.

Hooked is a dark contemporary romance and the first complete standalone in the Never After Series: A collection of fractured fairy tales where the villains get the happy ever after. It is not a literal retelling and not fantasy. Hooked features mature themes and content that may not be suitable for all audiences. Reader discretion is advised. For all content warnings, check the author’s website.“

This was such an amazing and dark retelling. Hook has always been seen as the villian and you kinda hate him. However in this book you will see him in a different light and come to love him! Wendy isn’t like the girl we know, she is a young lady who doesn’t let people, except her father, take advantage of her. Emily does such an amazing job bringing details from the tale we love and giving them a darker spin! This book is also told in two person points of view. It made me laugh, cry and be on the edge of my seat until the very end! Hook is so added to my book boyfriend list! This is one book, you don’t want to miss!

Happy Reading!
