It was solid, but I had a hard time with Wendy. I couldn't really understand why she loved her dad so much because we were just kinda asked to believe it while having no evidence for why. I also just found myself feeling annoyed at her throughout... maybe in part because of her loyalty to her father but also I don't think I do well with meeker, naïve, more damsel-y heroines in general.
I also don't love when the balance is full dom on the MMC side and full submissive on the FMC side so the dynamic wasn't the right one for me to love this book no matter how much else I liked about it. That's really just a personal preference that may not detract for anyone else.
Plot was compelling and kept moving forward (I do think Emily McIntire writes better supporting plot than some people. Her books are a pretty equal balance of adventure and suspense plot and romance smut.)
That said, one of the twists/reveals at the end felt like a pretty big hole that left me with a lot of questions.
All in all it was fine. It was fun how she wove in the Peter Pan elements, especially the clock ticks. I thought Scarred and Wretched were both better though.

Rated 4.75 stars
Hooked follows James /Hook and Wendy . It is duel POV and Loosely based on Peter Pan. James has a traumatic past and he seeks revenge against the one who started it all. Wendy becomes a pawn in Hook's plan for vengeance but they both are caught off guard by their chemistry . CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNINGS !
I really enjoyed this . It surprised me . It was of course dark , being a dark romance . I got so mad at certain characters at times . But I found it was very fast paced and engaging the whole way through ! And the spice was on point !
I definitely recommend to dark romance fans who want some adult infused fairytale nostalgia .
