Hooked, by Emily McIntire
5.0
"You want to watch the world burn?"
"Let me guess, you'll set it on fire?"
"No, darling. I'll hand you the match, and stand at your back, watching you become queen of the ashes."
This bookkkk yep yep yep. The way James always knew what to say...I had so many lines highlighted! That man gave me whiplash with his moods but in the best way haha. My heart goes out to Wendy and the way she grew from the beginning of the book had me smiling, but I love that no matter what her snark and darker side was always there. The banquet scene...if I was drinking I definitely would've spit my drink. I loved the way these two interacted so much, they complimented each other perfectly.
I also loved the writing style and the plot was so engaging. There were a few predictable aspects but they were perfectly balanced by the scenes that caught me off guard (the amount of times I sat up in bed like WAIT-).
I loved this Peter Pan retelling and I can't wait to read more of Emily's books in the future!!
