Hooked by Emily McIntire: Book Review 📖

 

BOOK REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

            🌶️🌶️🌶️ 

OMG, I loved this book and the retelling and twisted version of Peter Pan. The story started with revenge, but to be honest, I ended up falling for the supposed villain. Emily was able to take the beloved story of Peter Pan and flip it to make Hook (or James Barrie) morally grey, but not the villain. Peter is the villain, and his daughter, Wendy, becomes a pawn in his shady business. However, the tension and spice that come from Hook and Wendy meeting are addictive from the beginning! I love all the references to the original story as far as names and people go, and just overall enjoyed myself while expanding my reading style!

ABOUT: 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 cold, wealthy 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.
