Title: Hooked (Never After Series)
Author: Emily McIntire
Description:
"Hooked" by Emily McIntire is the first book in the Never After Series, a dark and tantalizing reimagining of classic fairy tales with a contemporary twist. This novel is a seductive and gripping tale of revenge, obsession, and forbidden love that will captivate readers from the very first page.
The story centers on James Barrie, better known as Hook, a powerful and ruthless crime lord in the seedy underbelly of a city ruled by corruption and fear. Hook is driven by a single-minded desire for vengeance against the man who wronged him years ago: Peter Michaels, the city's beloved and untouchable figure. Hook’s plan for revenge is meticulous and cruel, targeting Peter where it will hurt the most—his innocent daughter.
Wendy Michaels is nothing like her father. She's kind-hearted, smart, and completely unaware of the darkness lurking in the shadows of her father's empire. When she crosses paths with Hook, she finds herself drawn to his dangerous allure, unaware of his true intentions. What begins as a calculated move by Hook soon spirals into a whirlwind of passion and desire that neither of them anticipated.
As Wendy gets pulled deeper into Hook's world, she begins to unravel the secrets of her own past and the true nature of her father's empire. Hook, on the other hand, is torn between his thirst for revenge and the unexpected feelings he develops for Wendy. Their relationship becomes a complex dance of trust and betrayal, love and hate, as they navigate the treacherous waters of their intertwined fates.
"Hooked" is a dark romance that explores the themes of power, redemption, and the blurred lines between good and evil. Emily McIntire's evocative writing and richly drawn characters create a narrative that is both thrilling and deeply emotional. The novel challenges traditional notions of heroes and villains, presenting a love story that is as dangerous as it is irresistible.
Perfect for readers who enjoy dark and twisted retellings of fairy tales, "Hooked" is a must-read that promises a roller-coaster ride of emotions and a story that lingers long after the last page is turned.
