"My highest recommendations and regards to Hook & Jill, a potent tale of mastery and maturation. Beyond hommage, beyond pastiche, beyond Neverland itself, this book sails dark and sensuous seas… Hook & Jill is a masterwork of enduring power." – Satyros Phil Brucato, Witches & Pagans

"The Neverland of Hook & Jill is not the
place of fancy-free fun and abandon many of us like to recall. Jones explores
Wendy's feminine power, Hook's duality, and the various dimensions of
the Lost Boys. This is not your nursery room Pan." "Never growing up only sounds good until you grow up
a little. Hook & Jill is an original take on the fairy tale
of Peter Pan and Neverland. Taking place after the events of the classic
fairytale, Hook & Jill has Wendy acting as a mother to the
Lost Boys — but when Hook returns, Wendy is faced with the dark,
more adult reality of growing up, and she is split between her childhood
innocence and the joys of adulthood. Hook & Jill is fine spin
on the classic, and very much recommended." "Jones has created a fantastic companion piece to Sir J.M. Barrie's Peter and Wendy. She reenters the Neverland, quite obviously knowing her way around.…Every twist and surprise is balanced by an exceptional use of the original." “Hook & Jill is an exquisite symphony. Beyond its obvious appeal, it holds layers within layers of rich design….Hook & Jill is a masterwork of enduring power.” “Twists, turns and treacheries galore. Other Oceans is a masterpiece.” “I am feeling the character of Hook…I feel dashing and dangerous and sly and sexy. He's gets into you.” "Edgy and heretical…The sacred icon of childhood
has finally grown up, and controversy and cultural debate must follow.
What The DaVinci Code did for mystery-thriller, Hook & Jill does for the fairy tale." "Striking accord with the Captain's philosophy, this
tale knows no shame." "If you'd like to read another story inspired by Barrie's
work, that delves deeper into the mysteries Barrie touches upon, take
note of this book. Hook & Jill is an amazingly insightful
Jungian allegory. Jones not only questions the original version's assumption
that prolonging childhood is desirable, but explores the dark side of
Peter's character and develops the characters of Wendy and Captain Hook
in ways I would not have imagined. It is shocking, then riveting, and
I am in awe of her imagination and subtlety. The reader comes away wanting
more, and happily, a series will be published. Understand, though, that the content of Jones' work
is very definitely grounded in themes of adult life, so as Hook might
say, 'Readers, ye be warned.'"
