"Every night."
"And straight on 'til morning." <3

I finally read this book and started this series! I've been meaning to read this for the longest time and always something got in the way. Picturing OUAT Hook made this experience ten times better, I would absolutely recommend; in fact, now I have the greatest urge to re-watch the series. Hooked was fast-paced and engaging, definitely dark romance so if that't not your thing, then you might struggle. All I knew about this book before reading it was that it draws inspiration from Peter Pan (in fact, in this series we follow the villains of the respective fairytales) with characters and places named after parts of the original fairytale. And that's all there is with regards the similarities, this is definitely not the actual fairytale story...which made everything better!

"You are, without a doubt, the only good I've ever known."

This book is intense at times, but what's life without drama. And you know what? if someone bought a coffee shop and handed it to me as a gift, I'd love them forever too.
Oh, and I read the extended epilogue too... *chef's kiss*
