Hooked
by McIntire, Emily
James is a man consumed by a singular, cold-blooded mission: destroying the person who ruined his family. When he targets Wendy, the daughter of his enemy, his plan is simple and calculated. However, the line between retribution and obsession blurs the moment they come face to face. This is a gritty, modern retelling of Peter Pan that trades whimsy for sharp, dangerous edges. The reading experience is heavy and claustrophobic, driven by a volatile power struggle where neither character is truly innocent. It is a slow burn that feels like a trap, keeping you off-balance as the stakes escalate. If you prefer your romance with a side of moral decay and enjoy watching characters dismantle each other before eventually finding a twisted form of salvation, this will keep you up all night.
