About this book

Wendy Darling has finally carved out a life beyond the shadow of Peter Pan, finding an unexpected stability in the arms of two men who were once her greatest nightmares: the notorious Captain James Hook and the primal, lethal Crocodile known as Roc. As the wedding day approaches, the three of them stand on the precipice of a hard-won happily ever after. However, the fragile peace of Darkland shatters when James is suddenly abducted, turning their celebration into a desperate rescue mission.

Caught in a web of vengeful street gangs and ancient, lingering myths, Wendy must navigate the treacherous politics of the Seven Isles to reclaim the man she loves. The bond between the trio is tested as they confront the monsters lurking in the corners of their world, forcing them to fight for the future they have built together. In this dark, high-stakes retelling, the lines between hero and villain blur, and the price of their devotion is measured in blood and defiance.

As the clock ticks down, Wendy, James, and Roc must prove that they are the most dangerous monsters of all, refusing to let any force—mortal or mythical—tear their unconventional family apart.

"Devour the Snake🐊🪝 “Says who? I’m to be king. I marry who I want. If I say I want to marry a bratty pirate captain and a Darling girl, then I will marry both.” 😮‍💨😮‍💨 this had me giggling and kicking my feet!

Dark, Tender, and Utterly Unforgettable

"Devour the Snake delivers a stunning, emotionally charged conclusion to the love story of Captain James Hook, Wendy Darling, and Bane “Roc” Maddred. The book opens with Roc’s unforgettable proposal to marry them both, but the real heart of the story lies in James’s internal unraveling. He’s overwhelmed by doubt—uncertain of his worth, his place in Darkland, and whether he deserves the fierce, unconditional love Wendy and Roc offer him so freely. His vulnerability is raw and deeply human, and watching him fight to believe he is more than the dark, broken pieces he carries gives this finale its emotional weight. Wendy and Roc see him faltering, and instead of pulling away, they anchor him with a love that refuses to let him drift into the dark alone. As Roc reminds Wendy, “As much as Captain James Hook likes to believe he is a cutthroat pirate, at the heart of it, he is just a big gooey cinnamon cake who wants to be loved and accepted for who he is. But more than that, he wants to feel worthy.” This final installment is tender, cathartic, and beautifully written. It honors each character’s journey and delivers a conclusion that feels both satisfying and deeply earned. A heartfelt, unforgettable end to Hook, Wendy, and Roc’s love story. The closing confession between them says it all: "I love you both so much," I whisper. "I didn't know what love was until you two," James confesses. Roc is silent for a beat. "I was terrified of love until you two." He runs his fingers over James's hair, then does the same to me, tucking a stray lock behind my ear. "I am terrified no more." I sink into the sensation of being sated and content. A perfect final moment of being seen, chosen, and utterly content. ["

Wendy, Roc, and Hook

"This story was Ok. It wasn't as good as the others in this series and almost seemed like a novella. I didn't think it made the series stronger, I did finish it but was glad it was short. ["
