Hook's Little Mermaid by Suzanna LynnMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::
I was given an ARC of this in exchange for an honest review.
This tale is centered on Captain James Shaw, who we come to know as Captain Hook later on in story and his vengeful quest to take down his nemesis Peter Pan. Along the way we meet fairies, mermaids, witches and much more in this fabulous re-telling of a classic fairy tale.
Suzanna Lynn is a real class story teller! I absolutely loved the twist she put on this story and the fact it was told from "Hook's" point of view was very, very clever. I never thought I would find myself liking Captain Hook's character but in Hook's Little Mermaid, he went from Villain to hero.
I will never be able to look at Peter Pan the same ever again!!
I gave this fabulous story 4 stars.
Captain James Hook was once a good man trying to make a somewhat honest living. He is a pirate, after all. However, after getting word that a boy named Peter Pan played a part in the death of a dear loved one, Hook makes it his sole purpose to hunt down and destroy the fiend.
On his journey for vengeance, the captain encounters many new comrades, including a young girl named Red and a fairy called Tinker Bell, and both push him to reconsider his desire for justice.
The accidental rescue of a mermaid leads him on a whirlwind adventure in Neverland. The journey is not a simple one, considering Pan, the Lost Boys, mermaids, and magic all come into play. After several misadventures, Hook must choose between the possibility of a new life with love and his much-desired retaliation against Pan.
Once everything is said and done, will the captain be able to overcome his need for revenge? Will he let compassion steer him toward love? Or will Captain Hook live up to his villainous reputation?
