About this listen

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.

I was a bit dubious to leap into this book due to the mixed reviews, however I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend you give it a go. The narration was perfect and the story is well written. The Peter Pan references were clever too. I'm looking forward to book 2.

I can’t help but roll my eyes at the bad reviews on this, it only shows that people don’t bother to research what they are reading before they read it. This is a dark romance story, this is not enemies to lovers, the villain is no Rhysand or Cardan, he is every bit the villain the book promises. I encourage people to understand the trigger warnings before reading this as this is not for the faint-hearted. I devoured this over the weekend and I enjoyed the story up until the end. The villain becoming soft makes for a boring ending for what was meant to be a dark book. But overall the story was entertaining and so I gave it 3 stars. I really liked the performances and found both readers did an excellent job of sucking me into the world, I’m not sure I would have enjoyed this book as much without them.

Fantastic combination of spice and plot, drama and tension and character development. I couldn’t stop listening, the story really drew me in. The twist on Peter Pan was fantastic, and I loved recalling all the characters from the original story when they popped up throughout. Tina Bell was particularly inspired!

There were a couple of occasions where the narrators accents slipped slightly, which drew me out of the story just a bit. Otherwise excellent narration, particularly by Felicity - her ability to emote was exceptional!
