My review cross-posted from Romance Junkies Everyone knows the story of Peter Pan. The boy who won’t grow up defeats the villainous Captain Hook, saving the day and making children everywhere squeal with glee.This is not that story.This is Hook's tale. The man who would become Captain Hook was onc...
***This review has also been posted on The Social PotatoAlias Hook has gotten so much praise and given everything I had heard, I was curious about this book and wondered if it would live up to the praise it had received. I am not a hundred percent sure it did. Don’t get me wrong, I loved this book, ...
I had a hard time getting through this book. I'll admit, I was a bit disappointed because the synopsis sounded amazing. I've always been a huge fan of Peter Pan and thought it might be interesting to view things from Hook's perspective. Unfortunately, Lisa Jensen managed to completely villainize Pet...
Really loved this different take on Captain Hook and Peter Pan. It covers a longer amount of time then I expected, but offers backstory for Hook and shows a very different view of Pan that I hadn't thought about.

But once again, I found myself believing the story and actually r...
Arc provided by St. Martin's Press through Netgalley Release Date: 8th July I was drawn to this story mostly due to this amazing synopsis. C'mmon! Who wouldn't want to read a story in which one of "history's" famous rivals get their "social roles" switched? So yes, when it comes to the ...
It isn't you, it's me. You are a perfectly nice book and I'm sure there are lots of readers out there who will love you for the book that you are. You and I are just not meant to be. For me Alias Hook started out quite good in the beginning but as the story progressed my interest in the story decl...
Usually I avoid books from independent publishers like a plague. Prior to this, every book I'd read from a small, (often 'feminist') press was really just something that shouldn't have been published in the first place - amateur or worse.However 'Witch from the Sea' got really good reviews, and I lo...
