Damn, this time I really felt for the title character, as James sails straight into his doomed fate and becomes the treacherous Captain Hook. Quick tale about the infamous Captain Hook who was once a young man who just wanted to recapture the joy and friendship he had for six wonderful days. Still, if it wasn't going to get into anything too dark or complex, it could've had a little more excitement or something.

After telling spooky stories around the campfire, Olaf swears that one of the creatures of their tales has come to life!In this book their role in everything was extremely nasty, especially because as a reader you already know how Hook's wish to find Neverland will end. It’s what drives him to seek out pirates and join a crew so he can seek out this mysterious land he once visited. James went to Neverland as a kid but was brought back home, and ever since, all he's wanted is to go back.

It was a joy to read about Blackbeard, the crew’s encounter with the Kraken, James’ love for books and pirate lore, as well as his overall swashbuckling journey to villainhood.But in Paris, the fires of change are burning, and it's only a matter of time before the rebellion arrives on their doorstep. I loved seeing James's grow in confidence and trying to win the approval of the crew who endlessly teased him. Not to mention that danger lurks everywhere – especially when it comes to the Odd Sisters and their meddlesome ways.

If starting with Never Never, readers new to the series may get lost in a whirlwind of history, dark magic, time and space. James is claimed by his parents just shy of seven days―after which he would have officially become a Lost Boy.As heir to a title and great wealth, Will Masterson should have stayed home and tended his responsibilities. The first three books in Serena Valentino's New York Times best-selling Villains series, together in one paperback box set for the first time!
