Hooked: A Dark, Contemporary Romance (Never After Series) Review: Love to love the bad boy? Like your books spicy? Time to get Hooked! - Hooked - the first in the Never After Series by Emily McIntire- is the dark, twisty, and sinfully delicious reimagining you never knew you wanted of the classic, Peter Pan. Wendy’s - our female protagonist - coming of age journey throughout the book not only makes for a wonderful tale, but is also quite relatable. We see her find her voice as she learns to accept that the world isn’t the comforting black and white she thought it was. Who hasn’t been there? Then, of course there is James, aka Hook and all I have to say is...that man is a trauma survivor. The fact that he ended up twisted, dark, and cruel should surprise no one as we learn all the little details that make him tick, tick, tick. The story being told in dual perspective paints the full picture as we get to see it unfold through both Wendy’s and James’ lenses, getting to see the growth of both characters throughout the book. Wendy starts out as a sheltered, door-mat of a girl who feels unseen and unheard by not only the world, but also her father, Peter. James on the other hand has seen too much of the seedy underbelly that the world has to offer and has constructed his own barriers so nothing else can ever be taken from him. They couldn’t be more opposite, but they happen to be exactly what the other needs to be able to truly evolve in the people they are meant to be. If he is the darkness, then she is the stars; causing a yin and yang effect on their relationship. By the end, Wendy might have a bit more darkness within, but James has also let the light in and so they remain balanced. As someone who went into reading this book with a knowledge of the original, the references back to the influence was greatly appreciated. From the Jolly Roger to the Lagoon; from NevAirLand airplanes to pixie dust being the drug of choice; from Smee to Tina Belle; I couldn’t get enough of them all sprinkled throughout. Those details made the child in me happy, while many other moments made the women in me just as happy. The spice was there and if that’s what you’re looking for then it doesn’t disappoint one bit. One slight negative is that even though part of me was incredibly proud of myself for figuring out the big reveals, I wouldn’t say that it was too difficult to figure out. However, this is a romance novel and not a mystery, and if you can justify why Hook may have missed some red flags (as I have) this one critique is quite minor in the grand scheme of things. Just do as I have and pat yourself on the back for feeling like a super sleuth. I applaud Emily for starting this book off with a warning to the readers and I concur with it one hundred percent. This book could have a lot of triggers for people who have gone through a variety of traumatic experiences, so I would recommend heeding those warnings. Other than that, I would highly recommend this book to others. If you like reimagined stories, steamy scenes galore, and of course an ending that doesn’t disappoint...you should read Hooked!

James is a perfectly crafted morally gray character—dangerous, damaged, and unexpectedly vulnerable. His chemistry with Wendy is intense, emotional, and instantly engaging. McIntire’s writing is fast-paced, atmospheric, and full of tension, pulling you into every scene. The story balances romance, suspense, and character depth beautifully. If you love villain-focused stories with strong emotion and a dark edge, this book is an absolute must-read. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hooked: A Dark, Contemporary Romance (Never After Series) - Scarred (Never After Series) - Wretched (Never After Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/356342491-hooked-a-dark-contemporary-romance-never-after-series](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/356342491-hooked-a-dark-contemporary-romance-never-after-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
