Hooked
By A.C. WisePublisher Description
A dark, gorgeous reimagining about what happened to Captain Hook after Neverland from the bestselling author of Wendy, Darling – filled with eerie suspense and heart-breaking anguish
Once invited, always welcome.
Once invited, never free.
Captain James Hook, the immortal pirate of Neverland, has died a thousand times. Drowned, stabbed by Peter Pan’s sword, eaten by the beast swimming below the depths, yet James was resurrected every time by one boy’s dark imagination. Until he found a door in the sky, an escape. And he took the chance no matter the cost.
Now in London twenty-two years later, Peter Pan’s monster has found Captain Hook again, intent on revenge. But a chance encounter leads James to another survivor of Neverland. Wendy Darling, now a grown woman, is the only one who knows how dark a shadow Neverland casts, no matter how far you run. To vanquish Pan’s monster once and for all, Hook must play the villain one last time…
Exploring themes of grief, survivor's guilt and healing broken bonds, Hooked is a modern-day Peter Pan story, perfect for fans of retellings, Christina Henry and V.E. Schwab.

“i enjoyed hooked more than wendy, darling but i think it’s such a good duology. hooked benefitted from the world building in the first book and it was able to focus on the characters and their relationships a lot more, especially with themselves which i really think benefited the overall story.”

“Like its predecessor “Wendy, Darling”, I enjoyed the concept more than its execution. The idea of characters having to go back to a place they love and dread to face their fears is a great idea. But taking 215 pages out of 330 to get there makes it a bit of a slog. I also could understand how Jane still blames her mother after all this time.”Characters change and growMulti-layered charactersEasy to readSuspensefulDark settingMagical settingDarkHomophobiaPredictableUnsatisfying plot
