Obsidian Star: Hook & Tinkerbell Retelling by A.J. WolfMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Obsidian
Star by AJ Wolf is a dark retelling of Peter Pan but from the point of view of
Hook and Tinkerbell. Bellamy (Tink) is a snarky young woman caught up as
collateral damage and given to the deliciously dark Hook as payment for a debt
that cannot be paid. What ensues is a dark story about giving up control and
how sometimes a villain is just a villain.
The
chemistry between Hook and Tink was great throughout the story, and I loved the
fact that Tink doesn’t really love Hook but loves the power that he wields,
even when he makes her own body betray her! Tink is definitely a strong woman
and when she goes head-to-head with Hook the results are explosive.
I loved
that the book was a retelling and not in the traditional sense. We see Peter as
this snivelling, nasty young man who doesn’t take any responsibility and causes
a lot of issues for Tink without any apology for it! When Tink comes to her
senses about him, it is quite liberating!
This book
definitely has a lot of triggers for some readers and may not be for everyone! Overall,
a great retelling with some kink, bloodshed and strong characters!
ARC received for a
fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊
