Hooked: A Never After Novel

The plot was enjoyable, and I really loved all of the creative references to the original story. I certainly wouldn't say that this is a modern retelling of the original story, but the inspiration from the original story is definitely there, and it was interesting that the story is set in our normal world. The ending was definitely unexpected, and even though I had to suspend my disbelief a bit more during the end than the rest of the book, I don't think it really took away from the rest of the story. The main reason I'm dropping it down to 4 stars is the amount of smut or times that the characters thought about smut in this book. I feel like it was probably about 40% of the book, so if you love a kinky, erotic read, this would definitely be up your ally. For me, though, it got a bit exhausting, and it would have been nice to see more examples of the development of the relationship and subsequent manipulation beyond just sex.
