    Forget the story you grew up with as a child and step into the story that never got told. Now that Neverland is nothing but a fairytale and you're all grown up, you're ready for the dark version that will forever change your perception of the man called Hook. Dark romances, morally grey characters and of course the anti-heroes finally getting their happily ever after - that is the sole purpose of the Never After Novels. I was intrigued to find out how this author imagined James. J Barries original characters in her own dark mind. How she twisted the original sweet and innocent story around just to find that we had it wrong this whole time. In this story, the dark and frightening man known as Hook, together with the Lost Boys, run the streets of Bloomsburg, and their enterprise of creating and selling their product Pixie dust. With a sharp knife against the throat of his enemies Hook eagerly waits for the day to revenge his enemy Peter Michaels. When the opportunity finally arises and Peter's daughter Wendy finds her way into his club, Hook doesn't think twice about using Wendy for his own vendetta to finally bring Peter to his knees, which only makes the thought of breaking her that much sweeter. But who would have known that he would come to crave her presence, losing his control around her and almost the task at hand as she turns out to be all but the sweet little innocent girl he first anticipated; and despite knowing he doesn't possess one, she finds the remaining piece of his soul he thought long lost. It's when business takes an ugly turn and things gets personal for Hook, that Wendy ends up in the crossfire of his thirst for revenge, and gets to experience first hand the true meaning behind his nickname and the wrath that he threatens to unleash.
