Resumen del Editor

He wants revenge, but he wants her more.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy.

His belly full of laughter, his life full of joy.

Until one day, something changed; stripped his innocence away.

The hole inside making space for the devil to come and play.

His dreams gone forever, he grew up way too fast.

An endless night of crocodiles, and watches made of glass.

He grew into a villain, the taste of vengeance on his tongue.

Craving to make his enemies pay for the misdeeds they had done.

Instead he found a darling girl, and refused to let her go.

For what better way to make the man pay, than to steal his little shadow.

Hooked is a full-length, complete standalone in the Never After series: a collection of dark romances where the villain gets the girl. It is not a literal retelling. It is a dark, contemporary romance (not a fantasy) featuring mature themes and content that may not be suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.

Had potential to be amazing

I love a reimagining of a known story, so I appreciated the twist on Peter Pan/Hook for this story. The story had so much potential, but I felt like it fell short of being truly great. The characters never seemed to grow throughout the story, and while I wanted to feel for Hook, I just had a hard time connecting with him. Wendy irritated me throughout, and honestly I only finished because I had already made it over 50% through the book and figured I would see how it ended.

Very Interesting Peter Pan Tale

Uniquely different twist of Peter Pan, Hook, Tink, Wendy. I wasn't sure how I'd like it but once I started I couldn't turn away from it. This is a new author and narrators for me and I was not disappointed. Warning this is not the G rated fairy tale we are used too.

Amazing!!

Overall this book was great!! Something bothered me how fast they moved in the story and quickly had a sexual relationship. I also didn’t like how he treated her and she didn’t stick up for herself but I think that’s a personal preference and it’s more of a dominance kink.

I liked the twist of who the villain was ! Over I loved this story!!

9/10

Hot

I absolutely enjoyed this hot retelling of Peter Pan. I wish I would have read it sooner!

Good Praise Kink Dark Romance

If you like being called a “good girl” then this book has plenty of that with its many spicy scenes. This is not a retelling of Peter Pan, and it is not a fairytale/supernatural story. For example, there is a drug called pixie in the book- there are no fairies. It is fun to see where the elements of the Peter Pan story come into this story. The pacing is great, and the two narrators are in sync as they switch off each chapter. I finished this book in one sitting and loved it.

Loved it!👀 My kind of book

It was a very captivating, steamy and suspenseful book. Absolutely loved it .
I'm glad I gave it a go.

Even villains need love ❤️

I like that not all monsters are born, that monsters sometimes they are made, which gives the opportunity of being redeemable despite their atrocities. It’s a very sexual book, but I enjoyed the story and the depth of the main characters and John. I really loved it!!

Interesting premise, not perfect but decent story.

I like the idea of this more than the execution. The writing is a little YA sounding in much of the book, in spite of the adult themes throughout. Wendy is not a very interesting character on her own. She is more a reflection of how the men in her life view her than her own person.
The narration probably made this sound more YA, too. The male narrator has a nice voice but has no nuance in his characterization and his choice of accent for a pivotal character made the ending feel like a cartoon.

I loved it until the last few chapters

i love the possessive nature of James but boy needs to relax. it was a little overboard for my liking. overall the book was great and the spice was perfect. I didn't love the ending though. there were too many revelations and big reveals at the end and I found it hard to finish.

Simply Wow!

Didn’t take long before I was “hooked” in. Before I was even finished with this one I downloaded the next 2 in the series! Emily McIntire is a spectacular author and I can’t wait to see what she delivers next! Felicity and Rupert narrated amazingly and brought the story to life with ever word.
