Alias Hook by Lisa Jensen

5.0

It’s been a while since I’ve picked up a Peter Pan book, but this reminded me why I fell in love with reading again just over a year ago in 2024. This reimagining of the classic tale, told from Captain Hook’s perspective, offers a rich, dark, and emotional twist on the familiar story. The novel blends adventure, romance, and introspection as it delves into Hook’s tragic backstory and his eternal entrapment in Neverland. One of the most unforgettable moments was when everyone discovered that a woman was aboard the pirate ship—I literally dropped my book and lost my place in shock! The novel’s vivid world-building and complex characters breathe new life into the story, making it a thrilling and immersive experience.
