I did not read this series in order but I'm not lost starting near the end. Hook's Pan is a twist on Peter Pan where the classic vicious and ugly pirate is suddenly brought into a new light. He isn't evil exactly, just misunderstood. Peter and Tinkerbell on the other hand are the brats you suspected but may never have thought too deeply about portrayed in the stories and movies of today.I was pulled into the story at the very beginning. The writing style of Marie Hall is absolutely wonderful! Everything played out like a movie inside my head. It's filled with drama, sexual tension, comedy relief, and that dearly beloved 'the heart knows all' message that I loved to read about as a kid. It's literally a fairy tale for adults.Neverland was beautifully detailed with underwater cities, floating cliffs in the sky, and soft  little creatures that weave together our dreams. I never wanted to leave this new and exciting fantasy! The plot line had twists of its own that kept me on the edge of my seat, caught between gasping, sighing in awe, giggling, and blushing.Bad boys are my favorite, but Hook found a special place in my heart. He's attractive, protective, a little brutish but also very charming. The easy banter between him and Trish was a lot of fun to follow. She is a tough, sassy woman who knows what she wants and isn't going to be pushed away from that goal. Much like him, she has a haunted past that keeps a mask firmly in place so no one can see what is really going on underneath the surface.I've already bought the rest of this series and highly recommend this to fans of paranormal romance and fairy tales everywhere!
