Alias Hook by Lisa Jensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Full disclosure- the first 80 or so pages of this book were just painful for me to read. I wasn’t interested in Hook’s backstory.
However once Stella arrived, I was hooked (see what I did there?)
Stella has somehow ended up in Neverland but it isn’t the story we all know. Instead Pan is a malicious killer and Hook is a prisoner in his twisted games.
I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.
The world-building was really fleshed out and so were the character’s.
However I am rating this four stars instead of five because the ending was not what I imagined and it was just sad.
This was a really well-written book that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys fairytale retellings. This isn’t the story we know but it is definitely an intriguing must-read.
