Hooked

By: A. C. Wise

Narrated by: Joel Froomkin

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.

What a twist to the classic Peter Pan story!!

The reader has great expression for this amazing twist to the classic story!! The story is surprising, yet familiar. A great sequel to Wendy darling!

Hooked

This was interesting. I didn’t really know what to expect when I picked it up, but I really enjoyed this. Hook, Jane and even Wendy were not what I was expecting. What happened to Neverland was not what I was expecting. But this story was so good. If you want a really fun twist on Peter Pan and Hook this is a great book for that.

Probably a better story with a different reader.

my annoyance with the readers tone kept distracting from the story.
pesky word counts!

Wish I would have sampled before I purchased this

The story may be fine but the narrator has completely turned me off from this book. I have tried and tried to finish this but I just can’t get past this reader.

It as if I’m listening to Thurston Howell III from Gilligan’s island reading the book to me.

Just preview the book BEFORE. Buying.
