A review by jlreadstoperpetuity
Hooked by Emily McIntire
3.0
Characterizations If there's one thing that can save a plot line from going under, that is to create some perfectly crafted personalities. Hook has a very interesting background that fully justified his supposed dark persona . However, the second half of the novel left him under developed. He transitioned from a brooding and interesting villain to a sappy front in a span of 3 chapters before the book ended. It did not help that we have Wendy as a claimed woman but has been portrayed as a 20 year old innocent virgin lapping on attention.
The story proved to be promising on the first few chapters but as we neared the end, I felt it was rushed. The big reveal as to who killed who and the why's behind the mysterious new gang was just anti climactic. It could have been saved if there were transition sub plots written
Overall the cover is interesting, the taglines are interesting as well and the concept is an attention-clincher. I just hoped the characters and the prose lived up to it until the end
