What Is Hooked About? James Hook and Wendy Michaels

In this modern, adult reimagining of Peter Pan, James Hook is a ruthless crime lord in the town of Bloomsburg, driven by a long-held need for revenge. Wendy Michaels is the daughter of the man he wants to destroy, and she's desperate to escape her own gilded cage. Their meeting sets off a slow-burning, dangerous romance full of secrets and shifting loyalties. Hooked is a dark fairy tale retelling and a villain romance, and fans still consider it essential reading.

Why Readers Love Emily McIntire's Never After Series

The Never After series reimagines classic villains as morally grey romantic heroes, each in a standalone story set in a shared world. Readers love the clever nods to the original fairy tales, the grown-up reinterpretations and the satisfying "villain gets the girl" endings. Hooked merch celebrates the book that started it all and the readers who fell for its charming, dangerous captain.

Our Hooked apparel has a twisted-storybook look: hooks, ticking clocks, crocodiles, stars and nautical details, all reimagined in shadowy tones. Choose from Hooked t-shirts, Captain Hook hoodies and Never After sweatshirts made for readers who love a dark fairy tale aesthetic.
