About this audiobook

He wants revenge, but he wants her more.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy.His belly full of laughter, his life full of joy.Until one day, something changed; stripped his innocence away.The hole inside making space for the devil to come and play.His dreams gone forever, he grew up way too fast.An endless night of crocodiles, and watches made of glass.He grew into a villain, the taste of vengeance on his tongue.Craving to make his enemies pay for the misdeeds they had done.Instead he found a darling girl, and refused to let her go.For what better way to make the man pay, than to steal his little shadow.

Hooked is a full-length, complete standalone in the Never After series: a collection of dark romances where the villain gets the girl. It is NOT a literal retelling. It is a dark, contemporary romance (not a fantasy) featuring mature themes and content that may not be suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.

He wants revenge, but he wants her more. Once upon a time, there was a little boy.His belly full of laughter, his life full of joy.Until one day, something changed; stripped his innocence away.The hole inside making space for the devil to come and play.His dreams gone forever, he grew up way too ...

pros, well written, the prose flowed well and the spicy scenes had good rhythm. the characters were decent and had some growth over the book cons didn't enjoy the trope of a naive virgin falling for a bad man who kidnaps her and tortures her but of course they fall in love. (also a virgin that likes to be choked is a bit much. no kink shaming just the spicy scenes almost seemed like they were written for men even though I suspect the majority of the audience for this type of book is women 🤷) also a lot of the spicy scenes had some very dubious consent elements to them. I know it's fiction but it's 2023, consent is like a basic to enjoy a sex scene. the boundary between assault and consentual stuff seemed very blurry. so yeah. it was giving fifty shades of grey but written by a better writer and ten years later so a bit more current in terms of attitude. if that's what you're into then go for it!

This book was so emotional towards the 2nd half. The 1st half I was absolutely in love with James and I felt so bad for Wendy. This is probably one of the best books I've ever read and I definitely will be listening to this again. There is so much emotion and tension through the entire book that it keeps you captivated. 100% would recommend.

Wow. This was such a good book, I loved it! The twists hit you like a ton of bricks. I loved James right off the bat and then I was torn. I think I went through every emotion understanding him. I loved watching Wendy finding herself through all the chaos. Can't wait to read the others in this series.
