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.

“Not as gripping as "Wendy, Darling" but I liked Hooks backstory, and learning more about Peter. I'm also a sucker for a redemption arc, so this hit the spot for a comfort read”Michelle Thomas

“I wanted to read this after enjoying Wendy, darling so much but I felt that this took me a while to get into. It took me ages to finish mainly because it was at my exs house until I could go and get it. I would probably read it again to see if reading it at a more consistent pace would make it more interesting, then I can possibly give it a higher rating.
I did enjoy James/hook's relationship with Samuel, it was very tender and sweet, created a softer side to Hook that we see in the traditional story.”About A.C. Wise
