À propos de cet audio

He wants revenge, but he wants her more.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy.

His belly full of laughter, his life full of joy.

Until one day, something changed; stripped his innocence away.

The hole inside making space for the devil to come and play.

His dreams gone forever, he grew up way too fast.

An endless night of crocodiles, and watches made of glass.

He grew into a villain, the taste of vengeance on his tongue.

Craving to make his enemies pay for the misdeeds they had done.

Instead he found a darling girl, and refused to let her go.

For what better way to make the man pay, than to steal his little shadow.

Hooked is a full-length, complete standalone in the Never After series: a collection of dark romances where the villain gets the girl. It is not a literal retelling. It is a dark, contemporary romance (not a fantasy) featuring mature themes and content that may not be suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.

This book was alright, not one I would listen to again. I am glad I didn't have to purchase it.

Alright

The storyline is decent but the narration (the accents, specifically) takes away from the excitement of the story, dulling it.

Good but needs work

This was a fun read and very entertaining. I loved the reimagined characters. I can’t say too much without revealing anything. Lots at steamy parts, too.

I’m Hooked!

The narrator’s did a great job, the story was a fun twist using the characters from Peter Pan. At first I had a hard time trying not to envision the stereotype of a cartoon Hook. But once I got into the male narrators voice and the story and steam it was smooth sailing and straight on till morning .

I didn’t know what to expect?

Took me a while to get used to the character’s voices, especially FMC, but once I got past it I really enjoyed listening! I loved the authors take on a classic and wouldn’t have imagined it ending or unfolding the way it did.

Better than I expected!

Can't say enough about the quality of that writing - the way the author has with words is a mixture of beautiful and imaginative and delivered through this audio book, it's akin to sitting through 'slam poetry' - so well worded, so well delivered, you are hooked and can't take your attention away. Highly recommend.

'Hooked' is an appropriate title!

Enjoyed the twist on the Hook and Peter Pan world and characters. However the narrators were a poor choice and took away from what could have been a highly rated listen. They just weren’t a good match for the characters and didn’t draw the listener in.

Great retelling

Not a bad story for a retelling of Peter Pan. I would give it about 2 spice, there’s only about 3 chapters with some hefty spice and it does have a gang twist on it.

Overall the female narrator was better than the male, the male in my opinion doesn’t do “other character” voices well.

Decent story for a retelling

I love the twist of adding Peter and Wendy elements* to the story but I wish they had been added more subtly. Twisting well known stories like this can be very difficult, I give props to this author for doing it.

Due to the Peter and Wendy elements, this felt less like a dark romance because it added a childishness to the story, which is something off-putting in a dark romance. Honestly, the smut was good but some of it was uncomfortable due to the age difference and the Peter and Wendy elements, which is where the subtly would have been better.

I would suggest that anyone writing dark romance to engage with the k!nk community and understand what is and isn’t okay.

Childish Dark Romance

Like others said better to read , chapters alternate between James and Wendy and when they are uttering each other’s lines it’s the most irritating sound , ruining any good you try to get out of the story

The most annoying narrating
