Clarence ‘Woody’ Woods is going to go from dock boy to a real estate mogul with the help of a magical fish named Raymond Prince and Madalina, a waitress he is in love with. She is what he wants and he is willing to do anything to make her happy.

Madalina Dragoi knows what she wants and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it. If she offends anyone along the way, that is their problem not hers. Woody is a means to an end for her.

Hooked is quirky, fun and worthy new look at an old tale. I enjoyed both it’s lighthearted sections and the truthfulness of how people act when they are thrown into different situations. I was concerned as I was reading how Hooked would end but I thoroughly enjoyed the ending as much as I enjoyed the rest of the novel. Ms. May’s writing left me with a smile on my face.
