Publisher's summary
Three betrayed women with revenge in common channel their fury in a twisting novel of psychological suspense by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of Jane Doe and False Step.
A women’s boxing class is the perfect place for betrayed wife Katherine to work out her aggressions. Ideal too for Geneva, a teacher disgraced and ruined by a vengeful ex, and Luz, a software engineer battling an unjust system. Maggie, their instructor and mentor, guarantees she can right the wrongs they’ve endured. And if Katherine, Geneva, and Luz really want to unleash their rage, they must do what Maggie says.
Each woman’s secret task has its risks. Call it justice. Call it revenge. It’s bound to be worth it—if no missteps are made. As they take the leap to reclaim what they’re owed, their lives are turned upside down. Because no one could have guessed that it would all end in murder.
Now, coming together to harness their power, Katherine, Geneva, and Luz fear that the game they’ve been playing is playing them.

Jane’s days at a Midwest insurance company are perfectly ordinary. She blends in well, unremarkably pretty in her floral-print dresses and extra efficient at her low-level job. She’s just the kind of woman middle manager Steven Hepsworth likes - meek, insecure, and willing to defer to a man. No one has any idea who Jane really is. Least of all Steven.

Of course, I’m not going to murder her in the night. I need my laptop back first. That’s the whole point of making friends with Emily Harper, author of the hugely successful novel Diary of an Octopus. So I could get into her apartment and take back what’s mine. Emily doesn’t know who I really am. She thinks I’m her biggest fan, her new best friend who happens to need a place to stay for a few days. She doesn’t realize the laptop she found—and took—from a busy airport almost two years ago was mine. I don’t care about the laptop, just what's on it: my diary.

Story
Sure, it's romantic up amidst the snow-capped peaks of Wyoming's Grand Teton Mountains, but Hanna Alexander has only one thing on her mind: trying to save the family lodge. That is, she did - right up until she hired mountain-guide Micah Gallagher to help raise revenues. Teeming with suspicion and intrigue, this Grand Teton adventure leaves listeners struggling with the Christian principle of forgiveness in the face of emotional entanglements, fears of the heart, and the inevitable agony of love.

Excellent prose
There is something about Victoria Helen Stone's writing that is incredibly poetic and lyrical without being pretentious or insipid. She is a master of her craft in her use of words and phrases. "The scent of spring flowers swept by in elusive wisps of breeze.". "... drove up to the garage door that was opening to welcome him in." "Her brain had been a tornado...torn and spinning, pulling in so many awful thoughts. ...her brain racing to sort through the details and. reject them. But it couldn't." "She'd lightened up until she'd practically disappeared into mist.". And there is more, lots more. What I can't show you in this review is how naturally the author slipped this prose into.the plot, the storytelling.
I'm partial to.character driven stories, and in many ways this book was exactly that, though I did find it to be more plot driven than her other works. And I have to say that I never did feel like I knew these women characters very well, not any of them. The men seemed a bit caricatured, but that was forgivable as it added to the story and plot, and even provided some comic relief.
Narration was good, but I held that standard very high because I love how VHS writes! She is one of my absolute favorite authors, since "Jane Doe". I eagerly await her next book, even before I finished this one. I'm hoping I don't have to wait long.

Interesting. Maggie’s character was so mysterious the entire time. Not trusting her at all. So secretive. But learning her story at the end was satisfying. I wanted more of a “omg” moment when the reveal happened with the ladies and how they intertwined. Catherine deserved better.

Enjoyable read!
There's a reason why rules must be followed, as our leading ladies will soon discover. What started out as nicely laid plans takes a deadly turn when a certain someone doesn't follow the rules, lies about it, and subsequently jeopardizes everyone involved in the secret circle of women.

A bit strange.
I found the Catholicism difficult to wrap my head around. Kept asking myself: really?! (Answering: nah.) The revenge angle kept me interested, but honestly I knew who the killer was immediately. So, worth a listen but not a credit.

Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend.
Wronged women seeking vengeance are drawn to The Hook, a boxing gym for mind, body and spirit, ran by the charismatic Maggie. Who is Maggie and how did this collective get started?.. and more importantly, how will it end?
No one does revenge quite like VHS so I was really excited for this and it didn't disappoint! Like other reviewers, I don't like a lot of politics in my fiction but she toes the line really well and usually adds things in for a reason as opposed to random political word vomit so I enjoy it as a moderate.
The narration was fantastic!

Thrills and Chills Abound in 'The Hook
"The Hook" delivers a gripping and suspenseful reading experience that had me hooked from the start. The plot is filled with unexpected twists and turns, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout. The characters are well-crafted and relatable, making it easy to become emotionally invested in their fates. The writing is sharp and immersive, creating a vivid atmosphere of tension and mystery. While the story is undeniably thrilling, I found a few plot elements to be slightly predictable, preventing me from awarding it a full five stars. Nevertheless, "The Hook" is an enjoyable and satisfying read for fans of suspenseful thrillers.

Interesting Story
The story was interesting and the women’s lives and problems were very realistic. It was a good face paced read and kept you guessing, enjoyed the woman empowerment which was the true basis of the story.
