What Hooked is like to read
A dark, steamy Peter Pan retelling that leans hard into mafia-romance tropes: villainous antihero, sheltered heroine, revenge-turned-obsession. Fast, spicy, and morally murky rather than psychologically deep. Best for: readers who want a dark-romance fairytale retelling with heavy spice and a morally gray antihero.
