Hooked Book Review🪝

⭐️Overall rating: 5/5:

This was my first book that I’ve read by Emily Mcintire and I can say she’s one of favorite authors of all time!

There’s nothing that I would add or change about this it was really good! I couldn’t put the book down. I had read this in ONE WEEK. If you watched Once upon a Time then all you’re going to see is hook from the show.

I like how she reimagined the characters and gave us a plot twist that I wasn’t expecting. There’s a couple of plot twists that you wouldn’t expect at all. DONT WALK RUN!

If you saw my last post then you know that Emily had said that the Never After Series isn’t a retell, she explains it better on her website or on her instagram.

Sorry for fan girl this is literally one of my favorite books well the Never After Series is my favorite.

Now there are some trigger warnings but Emily Mcintire likes when you are surprised. I will leave the warnings down below.

🪝GR: 3.8⭐️

🪝 I was able to find this while looking for the synopsis:

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.

🪝Synopsis:

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.
