I've always been a fan of the bad guys and glob knows that when Once Upon a Time introduced Hook a bitch never missed an episode, he was in. So yeah, I may be bias because I already have a villain kink, but dayummm this was soo good.

As stated by the author, this is NOT a retelling, not fan fiction, not fantasy, it is a dark sad story about a broken man seeking vengeance and the woman who is meant to be collateral damage.

I loved how detailed the violence was in this book. Wendy's innocence annoyed me a bit but that's just because I prefer a stronger female lead. However, one would not have complimented this story.

While I felt like there was a bit of a red herring in this story, the plot twists and reveals were entertaining and unexpected.

I only give 5 stars to books that pull an emotional response from me. This book did just that. I was angry, disturbed, turned on, frustrated, and happy. I highly recommend!
