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.

“It was fun to be back in this universe to see what happened after the first book. I wasn’t as connected to the characters in this one, for some reason it was hard for me to get behind James. It was very well written though and very interesting”
“I feel like this book was very hard to get lost in. Lots of story building that was not really achieved well. The last few chapters are where it gets really gripping although the ending felt like it focused a bit too much on the Darlings having a conclusion than Hooks actual end. Overall, a good story, not executed very well though.”
