"𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘪𝘧 𝘐'𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴."

I loved this book! The references to Peter Pan and everything surrounding took my heart. I would say this is definitely my favorite retelling inspiration I've read from Peter Pan. 

I was all ears for the smut, the writing, the darkness, and the vibes.

I know the book was predictable, but I was living for the plot twists and secret family members just popping up.

I also enjoyed the fast pacing of this book. It was exactly what I needed after reading a thriller and a 5 book fantasy series.

If the rest of Emily McIntire's series is like Hooked, then she really did 𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘬 me into it. I definitely need to continue on with the Never After series.

I recommend that every single character in this book needs to see a psychiatrist regularly
