Fun quick readI got this book on sale and really liked the premise of learning about how other characters in the Peter pan story came to be. Some liberties were taken and i didn't like how some aspects of it was portrayed, but the book was well written and kept me engaged. I may even consider reading the next one in the series. For a couple hour read, it was a good book. Not one that I'll return to, but enjoyable enough.I received this book from the author through LoP in exchange for an honest review.Hook is a Peter Pan prequel, which reveals the origins of Hook and his feud with Peter. It was very interesting to read an origins tale from a different perspective. Hook begins his pirate life as Archibald Jameson. The pirate life takes hold during a time when he is unhappy with the shape his life has taken. While he is unhappy at first, he quickly grows into his new role and finds that he likes it much better

I really loved all the characters, main and secondary. The world the

Barrie. For years you have heard testimony from Peter, the Darlings and the Lost Boys on behalf of the prosecution. Now, at long last, you will
Book provided by author for an honest review.I am a sucker for a good retelling, if said retelling is from the viewpoint of the 'villain' all the better!The beginning of the book drug a little bit for me. A little bit of world building....'Hook' was one boring individual.Lets get to the pirates and where the hell is Peter Pan?!The ball gets rolling and familiar characters are introduced in a different light. I don't want to give anything away but I certainly liked the twist on the old familiar
