Hook: Death Wish

Captain Hook and the Pirates of Neverland, Book 3

De: Melissa Snark

Narrado por: Natalie Naudus

"Pish. Pillagin', drinkin', and wenchin' are a pirate's callings, but don't steal from dwarves - they hate the competition.

Pirate life aside, all I have ever wanted was a safe place for the Lost Boys I rescued. Ambition may have led me to overstep my bounds. When my theft was discovered, the dwarves launch a devastating sneak attack against my island nation home.

This time, I've started a war.

What can I say? I regret getting caught.

I stand ready to fight for my people, but the odds are grim. Hunting submarines with a sailing ship is a new one even for me. Guess I’ll be making this up as I go. Should I fail, those bastards will murder everyone, including the children.

Ugh

This book starts in step with the end of Book 2. It appears that the author is trying to bring the story back around to the Peter Pan Captain Hook conflict we were all looking for. Unfortunately, After 7 dragged out chapters (at least 3 hrs of listening) she couldn't seem to manage to steer the story away from bedroom activities and subsequent pillow talk. When it finally seemed like the story would continue on its intended path, the following chapter was actually a re-write of the previous chapter, only worded slightly different. I couldn't take it anymore and just stopped listening. I think with some revisions, this could be a good story, but I probably won't finish it.

If you are attracted to the "bedroom activities" I mentioned, don't get excited. There's no detail. Just back and forth flirting mixed with desire, followed by after the deed was done pillow talk. Lifetime movies have more excitement as far as that goes.
