Hooked: A Dark, Contemporary Romance (Never After Series)

From BookTok sensation Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious fractured fairy tale reimagining of Peter Pan.

He wants revenge, but he wants her more...

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.

This book took me by surprise! I expected to like it, but I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did! It was the perfect mix of plot and smut. I often find that smutty books lack a good plot but this book was not one of them!

I wish I could give this a 100. I can’t even describe how good this book was. The story, the tension, the spice,everything. Furthermore, I completely loveeee Emily’s type of writing. It’s sort of dark, but not too dark, so somewhere in between. I love the way everything develops, some scenes I even cried at, so be aware of some emotional scenes. Absolutely recommending!!!!
