I'm in the business of creating fairy tales. Theme parks. Production companies. Five-star hotels. Everything could be all mine if I renovated Dreamland. My initial idea of hiring Zahra was good in theory, but then I kissed her. Things spiraled out of control once I texted her using an alias. By the time I realized where I went wrong, it was too late. People like me don't get happy endings. Not when we're destined to ruin them.

The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. But it’s pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Smut for the sake of Smut
I ordered this book as a pre-order and was pretty disappointed.
I found that the story made a lot of leaps that weren’t paced well and the characters behaved in a hard to believe way. I’m all for suspended disbelief but their choices just didn’t make sense.
The “intimate moments” were very awkward and forced, I don’t think I’ve ever rolled my eyes so many times at a book.
It seemed to just be a very smutty book with some hollow characters to fill in the pages between smut.

Poorly Written Peter Pan Version of 50 Shades
The dialogue of this novel is extremely hard to listen to, especially sex scenes. A lot of the lines from MMC (Main Male Character) are extremely cringy, and not at all a turn on, and just gross.
It’s especially hard to listen to when instead of reading lines said by their own character, the narrators try to mimic each others voices depending on who’s POV it is. You have MMC trying to do MFC’s (Main Female Character) voice at times, and vice versa, making this extra hard to listen to.
There is also a lot of non-consent happening in this book meant to be passed off as “BDSM” when it isn’t. MMC straight up SA’s MFC at multiple points, with FMC saying “I hate that my body is reacting this way.” Literally the thought many who’ve experienced SA experience. This is not consensual non-consent, it’s just straight up non-consent. Not to mention MMC is abusive to MFC in many other ways throughout the novel.
Summary: It feels like the author just wanted to write a Peter Pan version of 50 Shades of awful. Passing off SA as BDSM, and an abusive MMC.

Nice retell tale of Peter Pan
The story was good. I really enjoyed the twist. Unfortunately the voices did not work for me at all. I wish at the very least Rupert Hawthorne would have done all male lines across the board and Felicity Munroe all female voices. Just personal preference. It took me out of the story a lot when they attempted to do each others voices. I think I would have liked this book a lot better reading it. Their voices were rather flat. Not a ton of passion and emotion in the performance.

Not even sexy enough to excuse the poor storyline
Slow, awkward plot line. Boring characters. Smut scenes are repetitive. Well-narrated except each chapter alternates perspective from the male / female characters and they impersonate the other rather than switching to the character voice which is awkward as the female is American and male is British so they’re forced to do bad impressions throughout.

I was... hooked :P
My goodness, this is one lewd book! The narrators both do an excellent job, and I loved the references to Peter Pan. The psychology behind the characters was complex and very well portrayed, I could really imagine where they came from and their state of mind. I was able to guess the end "culprit"/bad guys so it was a bit foreseeable, but everything was nicely twisted into one big plot, which was very nice. This was a good find for me.

better to read
the accents were a bit annoying at times, would be fine if they didn't have to switch characters because that's when it sounded cringey. the story was good but the whole underlying Peter pan thing seemed unnecessary.

Cleverly sucks you in…
I started this book because the storyline interested me. A play on Peter Pan but not at all Peter Pan - a story of “even bad guys need love too.” I enjoyed the clever way the author wove pieces of Perter Pan lore through the story and found myself chuckling a few times at the wittiness. I finished the entire audio book in about 3 sittings. I normally just listen to books as I commute but I couldn’t wait to keep listening to this one. I gave the overall rating 4 stars because I did have a hard time with just how “bad” this guy was - and he’s horrible. I thought several times that I would not be swayed to understand this “love” story because honestly the guy, Hook, should be in prison. But, I was won over and I enjoyed the story more than I thought I would.
The performance was very good. The two performers narrate chapters separately and they present chapters written from their character’s point of view. Because of this, they each perform the opposite character’s voice during their chapter and that took me a bit to get used to hearing.
As I mentioned, I found this quite enjoyable overall. It’s the kind of book that drew me in and I’m afraid the next one I read will be a let down after this one. Just a recommendation - You might consider listening with headphones on if you aren’t alone. It’s quite throughly descriptive, if you know what I mean, in both horrifying and pleasing ways.

Guy talks about his "stuff" alot...
My goodness... My kingdom for a good fantasy romance that isn't straight up cringe porn! I couldn't even get a quarter into this. Idk why anyone would be into Hook. He is so gross and not in a cool villain way but in a guy-who-keeps-talking-about-the-needs-of-his-you-know-whats kind of way. ALL THE TIME! I know you had a dark past but get some more personality! It just all comes across as lazy, boring, and cringy. Please, please, I just want a good fantasy romance with the bad guy that isn't this... any recommends?

Not what I thought ..
I almost stopped reading it just because of the accents. The female accents were so shrill and annoying! Wendy’s wasn’t bad, but her “friends”, omg. Peter sounded like he had a stick up on his butt every time.
The story felt rushed, the characters weren’t very developed. The sexy scenes also felt rushed and misplaced at times.
There were some good twists- especially in the last hour of the book.
I do feel it was concluded well and questions were answered.
Not sure that I would use a credit for another one of her stories.

Peter Pan Vs Hook Mafia Retelling
How is it possible that this book ended in such an endearing way? And that I liked it so much! I don't usually like mafia boss tropes or referring to females as someone's "pet" but somehow despite that I thoroughly enjoyed this and I'm excited to read some of her other books. The plot is well done, and balances the 🌶️ with 🥰 in such a way that you want to find out what happens next. It is a "retelling" but it mostly just uses the names and base lore from the peter pan story, if you think there's going to be pixies, flying or anything else fantastical you will be disappointed. This book is a contemporary retelling, taking place in a city where Hook is a Mafia boss and Wendy is the daughter of a rival Mafia boss, Peter, who moved to town. There are past wrong doings and revenge plots and Wendy ends up getting mixed up in all of it. I do think Wendy forgave Hook a little fast and even though she felt empowered I wished that she would've let her sarcastic quips come out more. But this book was definitely enjoyable and I was pleasantly surprised by it and I ate it up!

Did not finish.
Around chapter 35 I realized there was no longer any plot. I really wanted to like this book but unfortunately there isn’t a nice thing I can say about it. I really disliked both audio performances as well. All in all this was a very disappointing use of a free credit.

I couldn’t get past Chapter 17
I couldn’t even get halfway. And I can’t return it to get my money back. Main female seems weak and I can’t stand characters like that. And the main guy just annoys me, I can’t stand men in real life who act possessive and like they have to be “alpha” so it’s just not my desired type of book.

Concept is there execution is not
Just couldn’t like either character. Wanted to like this bc of the concept so much but it was too cheesy even for me. :( was really close to dnf but it’s not long so I powered through.

The narrators made the story so much better
I usually prefer to read my books but with the increase in commute time and reduction in opportunities to sit still and read uninterrupted I decided to look into audio books. Hooked has been on my TBR for a while and I figured would be a good use of my credit. I am so glad I did. The story was fun, and I loved the characters but I loved the life the Narrators brought to them more. Rupert is an amazing James and Felicity was amazing with her Wendy persona and doing all the Boston accents. they've definitely brought me in to the audio book fold and I can't wait to hear what else they've narrated.
As for the story itself I found it delightfully spicy with a plot line that chugged along fairly smoothly and not as an after thought. The way Emily reimagined the characters of Peter Pan was brilliant and tackling the theme of revenge was masterfully done. I selfishly wanted more spice because James is such a delightful villain made all the better by Ruperts voice.

Who doesn't love a male lead with questionable morals? Add in a dab of enemies to lovers with a pinch of pixie dust to this Peter Pan inspired retelling where the villain gets their HEA told, and you have one amazing read on your hands. Let alone add the fact that this audiobook is so amazing. The narrators both do a phenomenal job with this book & it was an amazing listen.
Wendy has always been her daddy's little girl, but at almost 21, she is not a little girl anymore. After her mother died when she was young, she has kept her family first, helping to raise her little brother Jon since her dad is almost never around.
James' life has definitely not been smooth sailing. Loosing his parents at a young age, raised by an evil uncle, it was only ever Ru who showed him any kindness. Ru who taught him everything he knew in how to run the streets of Bloomsburg Massachusetts.
These two are an unlikely pair, but sometimes you have to look past the norm to find a match to your own twisted desires.

Pas mal du tout
Les moins: le titre était sans doute un peu plus violent que je ne l’aurais aimé et… l’histoire avait peut être quelques facilités.
Les plus: cette narration masculine aux petits oignons avec juste ce qu’il faut d’accent britannique qui m’aura accroché dès les premières intonations.
L’histoire et des enjeux sont assez prenant considérant ce type de littérature et on se laisse très vite prendre.
J’ai pour ma part été très sensible au vocabulaire de James Hook, la qualité des épices rattrape son dosage peut-être un peu plus léger que ce qu’on aurait aimé, 3🌶️/5

Disturbing
I don't know what kept me listening because the violence is quite disturbing, domestic abuse triggers aside the story was great

Très bonne revisite de Peter Pan
J’ai particulièrement aimé la voix masculine et son accent British. L’intrigue et bonne et je ne m’attendais pas au twist final.

Amazing performance
They where incredible, making me live this story on an outstanding way. The main plot is interesting but maybe a little too dark for my taste . Nevertheless I was completely hooked by the tone the reeders pout on it. I absolutely loved it.

Well hmmm what to say
Definitely a little disturbing at times and nothing like anything I’ve read before but got to say it was an engrossing listen.
note this is quite sexual and violent at times

Meh... Great narration though.
I struggled to finish it. It was a little bit too predictable for me.
The narrattors are good ! Really enjoyed their work despite the story getting boring for my tastes.

Disney sous un prisme de gris
J’ai simplement adoré ! Disney a bercé mon enfance et notamment Peter Pan. J’ai toujours été triste du sort réservé au Capitaine Crochet je suis donc d’autant plus touché par ce roman.
Au personnage n’est blanc ou noir mais plutôt un panel de gris plus ou moins sombre.
Il est appréciable que Wendy ne soit pas là blanche colombe comme beaucoup d’héroïne de romans peuvent l’être….
Bref je recommande à toutes que vous soyez Disney lover ou non !
