Summary
James has always had one agenda: destroy his enemy, Peter Michaels. When
Peter’s twenty-year-old daughter Wendy shows up in James’s bar, he sees his
way in. Seduce the girl and use her for his revenge. It’s the perfect plan, until
things in James’s organization begin to crumble. Suddenly, he has to find the
traitor in his midst, and his plan for revenge gets murkier as James starts to see
Wendy as more than just a pawn in his game.
Wendy has been cloistered away most of her life by her wealthy cold father, but
a spontaneous night out with friends turns into an intense and addictive love
affair with the dark and brooding James. As much as she knows James is
dangerous, Wendy can’t seem to shake her desire for him. But as their
relationship grows more heated and she learns more about the world he moves
in, she finds herself unsure if she’s falling for the man known as James or the
monster known as Hook.
Opinion
Post Date:
Over the years I have seen so many books of character adaptations. From
Cinderella to the lion King to now Peter Pan. I have always wanted to read one of
these many weird and wonderful books so when I saw this book everywhere on
socials, I decided it was a sign for me to finally commit and do it.
In this adaptation you have James, who is also know as Hook, he has spent most
of his adult life trying to get revenge on Peter Micheals. And when Hook meets
Wendy, he has found Peter’s weakness. In this Wendy is Peters daughter. This
book sadly falls into a very sad trope, where the main guy in this book is terrible.
Like Hook does some seriously unspeakable things especially to Wendy. (Yes I
know that was the whole point of the book because he is a “villain”) So instead
of having him see what he did was wrong and have him grow from this empierce,
the writer just makes the antagonist, Peter, do even worse things. This is so that
Hook does not look as bad in comparison to Peter.
Wendy was such a weird character because there were times when she had like
no backbone and times when she was a very different person and didn’t take
anyone’s drama. I think she was the character with the most depth. I enjoyed all

her interaction with all the characters. Although the girl needs to find better
friends lol.
I felt that the overall plot of the book was way too rushed. I loved the first half of
this book but then I felt the second half just fell flat. I loved the anticipating of
Hook but not the delivery of his character. I feel like there was no depth to his
character and he was just your superficial bad guy with a bad back story. And I’m
sorry but the adaption of why he was afraid of clocks in this version is just cringe.
The only thing that I was grateful for in this book was that this version of Hook
didn’t have the moustache.
Overall, this book doesn’t take itself too seriously so you shouldn’t either, if you
are looking for a quick easy and silly read then I would one hundred percent
recommend this book.

of her own peril. But she never expects the Scarred Prince. He’s dangerous.
Forbidden. And one of the men she’s been sent to kill. But the line between
hatred and passion has never seemed so thin, and as secrets come to light, Sara
