There's a lot we don't know about Captain Hook, like how he came to Neverland, and why he hated Peter Pan as much as he does. Christina Henry's book seeks to answer those questions. What if Captain Hook didn't always hate Peter Pan? What if he used to love him? What if he used to be one of Peter's lost boys? 

I wasn't quite sure how I felt about the prose when I started this book. It was a little simplistic for my tastes, but it quickly grew on me. This book is brutal and dark, and honestly everything I didn't know that I wanted. I enjoyed every minute of it. The pacing was great, the characters were great, and Jamie's -- the soon-to-be Captain James Hook -- slowly evolving frame of mind was really great to see. 

I half read this book and half listened to the audiobook and the audiobook was also quite entertaining.
