4.5 starsCaptain James Hook is a tortured soul. granted, a sex on legs tortured soul, but still. he lost the love of his life to the Pan-child, the day before their wedding, a hundred Kingdom years ago (1 day here=1 month there!) he spends his days drinking, whoring and terrorising Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.Trishelle does not do love, no sir, and spend her time hopping from bed to bed, just for the sex. when our beloved fairy godmother Danika dumps her, quite literally, at Hook's feet, with tales of a mermaid's soul within her, Trisha is not best pleased. Even her friend, Betty, tells her this is how it should be, and she should know, she just landed Gerard!I enjoyed this more than Her Mad Hatter, and this is the fifth in the Kingdom series. I have not read books 2, 3 or 4, however, Jinni, Wolf and Gerard as well as their mates, and Hatter and Alice all pop up in this one, and I don't feel I've missed out on anything, except how the other 3 came to be together.I love how Hall mixes up the traditional tale, adds and takes away, totally changing our perception and the very nature of these characters! Tink turns out to be a sadist, Smee is not the snivelling little man he is portrayed as, Peter is not a child, but a man trapped in a child's body and Hook, well, swoon! like I said, sex on legs! I don't normally rant about book boyfriends, but I'd quite happily rant all day about Hook!I love all the little digs and references to various Peter Pan films, and folk lore, it makes these books all the more interesting, to see what Hall will do, what she will reference, and how she flips it all around! I will go back and read the other three I missed, as well as the continuation into the other books in this series.
