Hooked by Emily McIntire

If you enjoyed the dark, obsessive energy of Little Stranger, you are looking at another major BookTok favorite here.

Hooked by Emily McIntire is a dark, contemporary romance published in 2021. It kicked off her wildly popular Never After Series—a collection of interconnected standalone novels that fracture classic fairy tales and reimagine them from the perspective of the villain. In this universe, the villain always gets the happy ending, and the traditional "hero" is usually the real monster.

Hooked is a dark, gritty reimagining of Peter Pan, trading the magic of Neverland for a dangerous, criminal underworld.

• James Barrie (The Hook): He is a ruthless, cold-blooded mafia boss driven by a singular obsession—destroying his nemesis, Peter Michaels. Peter is a corrupt, powerful businessman who was responsible for the horrific tragedy that wiped out James's family when James was just a child.

• Wendy Michaels (The Wendy): She is Peter's innocent, sheltered daughter. She has spent her life being controlled by her manipulative father, unaware of the deep rot in his empire.

When Wendy wanders into James's underground bar, he instantly recognizes her. He sees her as the perfect weapon for his long-awaited revenge. The plan is simple: seduce Wendy, use her to dismantle Peter’s life, and discard her. However, as James gets closer to Wendy, the lines between vengeance and genuine obsession blur. What started as a calculated game of chess turns into a toxic, consuming romance that threatens to burn both of their worlds down.
