Beneath the Surface

Initially coming out in 2021, this arrived on the 6th of July, and would come out on the Kindle publishing platform. Setting up the fourth title in the ‘Sugarlake’ series, the books can potentially be read in any order, although it’s best that they’re read chronologically. There’s strong adult themes and scenes here, along with explicit sexual scenes too, as the book definitely doesn’t hold back.

Lily has a hidden past that she likes to keep buried, as the scars haunt her, with her desperately trying to forget about what she’s lost.

Hooked

Originally published through the Kindle publishing platform in 2021 on the 5th of September, this would be the first in the ‘Never After’ series of novels. Based on a dark reinterpretation of classic fairy tales, this looks back on Peter Pan and the character of Captain Hook. It’s very much an adult series with the books being based around fairy tale villains, and each book is stand-alone, so they can be read in any order.

The upbringing of James Hook was a difficult one filled with trauma and abuse, as he attempts to deal with his past. Dealing with the horror as an adult, Wendy Michaels manages to calm the darkness inside him, as he attempts to make sense of it all. A game of cat and mouse develops between them, as he attempts to put the darkness behind him and move on from it all. Will they manage to overcome it all, can they face the future together, and what will happen with Wendy once she’s hooked?

It’s an interesting interpretation of the classic Peter Pan fairy-tale, as it’s told with a keen sense of focus and drive. The book works on multiple levels, dealing with some dark and sensitive themes and ideas, but it manages to balance all this effectively. Always keeping the reader invested in the story, it never forgets to entertain the reader either, making it a highly compelling novel too.
