I'm new to reading dark romance and Hooked is just my second read for the year. This is a more mellow and mild dark romance compared to lets say The Ritual by Shantel Tessier. I like this one better. I like how Wendy acknowledged Hook's gray character and has even admitted to herself that their relationship is toxic. Hook deserves the happy ending especially after the abuse he suffered from his uncle. The story is fast paced and is never boring. Great start and I am excited to read the rest of the books in the series.
