This is the third book in the series and its just as good as the other two. I’ve always loved fairy tales and the idea of twisting classic childhood stories together with a touch of danger and suspense is amazing. I can’t wait to see what the author does next.

Red’s Tangled Tale by Suzanna Lynn is the retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood and is the second book in The Untold Stories series. I really like how the author had us meet Red, or Rosalee, back in the first book and how Red interacted with Captain Hook. We meet up with Captain Hook in this second book when Red offers to help him search for ash that he needs to help a friend who is being held captive by a wicked witch in the land of Oz (I seriously love all these characters crossing into each other’s stories!). The search for the ash is a dangerous one but Red is the best hunter in the village and happens to have helped her father gather ash even though it was a tragic moment in her life. Enjoy reading the tale! I’m looking forward to the next book in the series!

Red’s Tangled Tales is the second book in The Untold Stories series by Suzanna Lynn. As with the first book, this is a wonderful young adult fantasy and is a mash-up of several classic fairytales, giving us a different version of the stories we all thought we knew so well. With Red Riding Hood taking the spotlight in this story, we also get more of Captain Hook, who we followed in the first book- as we are thrust on an adventure filled with magic, drama, wolves, friendship, action….. and more. I love all the intricate, clever, interconnected details that really bring the story/series to life. Taking our favourite classics and giving them a new and highly original spin. I can’t wait to see where we go from here. Happy Reading!

I am a huge fan of retold and modern retellings of fairy tales, and I jumped at the chance to review Suzanna Lynn’s “Red’s Tangled Tale”. This is the second novel in “The Untold Stories” series, and it focuses on Red Riding Hood.
After the death of her father, Red is living in the cursed woods with her granny. When Captain Hook pays a visit to her town, Red agrees to help Hook and his band of pirates find magic ash that will help free Hook’s love, who has been captured by a cruel Sea Witch. Facing deadly and dangerous wolves is just the first challenge of her journey. On her return, Red meets a young woman trapped in a tower, and after befriending her, she agrees to help young Rapunzel retake her Crown and title- as Princess Ozma, Princess of Oz.
Lynn’s YA fairy tale retelling is really reminiscent of “Once Upon A Time”, the wonderful ABC television show from a few years back, where many fairy tale creatures come to life. I love knowing the back stories of beloved fairy tale creatures, and imagining what their lives would be like. Lynn helps me complete this task with her new series.
Although I did not read the first novel in the series, I was still able to follow along with the plot. As the characters are already acquainted with any of us who has read a Grimm’s fairy tale, or seen a Disney movie, there is not a lot of familiarization that needs to be done with any of the characters. In Lynn’s novel, Red is spunky, brave and confident and I rooted for her from page one. She is the ideal female heroine and protagonist.
As this is a series, obviously some pertinent plot points are left for future novels, but enough of the story was resolved that I felt satisfaction at the novel’s conclusion. I appreciate being given the oppourtunity to read this novel, and I look forward to reading more of Lynn’s past (and future) work.

Another superb blending of tales from my childhood! Lycos is mistaken for the beast that haunts the village and he, Red, and Rapunzel are thrown in the castle tower as prisoners. Desperate to know if their daughter, princess Arabelle, is still alive, the King and Queen agree to let Lycos go to the cursed castle to save the princess from the clutches of the beast. What will happen to Red and Rapunzel if he fails? You will have to read this third story in The Untold Stories series to see what becomes of our three travelers and to the kingdom under a cursed spell. I have really enjoyed this series and am anxious for the fourth book.

We are introduced to the character of Red in The Hook’s Little Mermaid. The character of Red comes off as a brave girl, who has just lost her father . She develops a deep bond with Hook in a brief time. In this book, we get to know more about Red ,her encounter with Hook and their journey together into the forest. Red is a fearless girl, who dons a red cloak .She is a hunter who goes into the deep forest to find fur and ash, and trades them to the bartenders and the pirates to get a good price, to feed her family. Red is determined to hunt down her father’s killer , whom the wolves took out. Captain Hook is in search of the Ash, to battle the kraken in the deep seas. Together they journey into the forest and the fairy tale takes a twist such that another fairy tale is introduced in the story. Rapunzel is introduced and their quest together is exciting. Suzanne Lynn has a good knack of creating this fairy tale mashups, each children’s classic blended with another and a fresh perspective given to the characters we have doted since childhood. I have enjoyed reading this Untold Series so far and hope to see more such books in the future.

“Red’s Tangled Tale” (Book #2 of “The Untold Stories” series) by Suzanna Lynn is a new look at the old tale of “Red Riding Hood,” and flips the fairy tale on its ear. “Red” is NOT a victim of the Big Bad Wolf in this tale; she is a strong, fierce heroine who helps feed her local village by entering the spooky Blakx Forest and hunting, including killing any of the ginormous wolves that inhabit the Forest, one of whom killed her father. “Red’s” friend, Captain Jameson Shaw – aka “Captain Hook” – arrives in her village, apparently on a mission to find any aid possible in rescuing his friend, the Little Mermaid, from an evil witch, apparently a sister of King Neptune? He needs some ever-burning ash from the Blakx Forest – the very quest in which Red’s father died. Red leads Hook and some of his pirate companions into the Forest, but what does she find there? Do they succeed in their quest? What else does Red find in the Forest besides the “ash?” Is the white wolf more than it seems? I’d love to tell you, because I LOVED the addition of other fairy tale folks into the mix, but that would spoil a surprising twist in the tale, and I don’t want to include any spoilers. Again, I loved the re-framing of the old fairy tale. I loved that Red was a strong heroine and that a pirate needed HER help, instead of HIS rescuing HER. There were a couple of things I didn’t “love:” This book can definitely be read as a stand-alone, but I feel I would have understood more of the story if I had read Book #1 first, as it addresses how the Little Mermaid was captured. I also didn’t love the overuse of the verb “hissed.” Red and Captain Hook “hissed” a lot of their dialogue to one another, and in a couple of spots it was just glaringly misused. So since I liked the book a LOT, I’ll give it 4.4 stars, which unfortunately rounds down to 4.

This book is an imaginative retelling of the evergreen children’s classic Peter Pan. The book’s central character is Captain Shaw, whom we know as the notorious Captain Hook in Neverland. This tale is about the humane side of Captain Hook and what caused him to be the notorious man he is known to be. Captain Hook was a pirate, and was an honest pirate with his heart in the right place. He cared for his crew, and the women who came into his life, even for a brief fling. He begets a son from one such fling, is kept away from him for several years till one day, he is united with him. But his son joins the Lost Boys troop of Peter Pan and gets accidentally killed in one of the pirate encounters. This causes Hook to seek vengeance against Pan. He tries different venues to get to Pan, but is incapacitated with his inability to fly. To get near Pan, he first captures Tinkerbell for fairy dust, then befriends a beautiful witch who claims to be the sister of the Sea God Neptune, and falls in love with a mermaid who is Pan’s best friend. But in his plotting and scheming, he loses his edge and falls prey instead of being a predator. Desperately in love, and now a target to an evil power, Hook tries to hold on to the humane side and for a brief time even forgets about his vengeance with Pan for the greater good. But will his good side prevail and make him a better person? Or will the cruel fate take away what he is holding dear to heart and make him an evil heartless villain? That forms the crux of this story. The language is beautiful and the book is a very easy read. But I did have some qualms on the plot. I felt it a little convoluted at few places. But I really enjoyed this imaginative retake on one of my childhood classics.

Hook’s Little Mermaid (The Untold Stories #1) by Suzanna Lynn
This is the first book I’ve read by Lynn. It won’t be my last. The Untold Stories Series is a Fairytale retelling of Captain Hook and Little Mermaid. Can be read as a stand alone.
Captain James Hook is looking to revenge the death of his son. Tinker Bell becomes his fairy friend while Red becomes his wolf buddy. Peter needs to taken care of, but will a mermaid change his mind. The quote I chose for James is: “I don’t need to trust them. I just need the dust. I believe any fairy would happily exchange some dust for its freedom.”
Elynna is a mermaid in Neverland. When she meets James she soon learns that he wants to do something horrible. When she learns the story she decides that she’s going to take into her own hands. The quote I chose for Elynna: “This is not the way to honor Owen. Be the man he was proud of.”

I enjoyed this young adult fantasy story. This is the second book in this series which I would highly suggest reading the first one as it is just as enjoyable. This is a series that takes childhood stories to another level. It is well developed and full of adventure. The characters took me on an adventure and made me feel part of it. They are connectable and kept the story engaging. In this story Red Riding Hood goes hunting for the Big Bad Wolf. Then you add Captain Hook to the plot and they will keep you reading to the end. This is a great story for any young adult. I highly recommend it.

This is my first book by Suzanna Lynn. I loved this rendition of Captain Hook and Peter Pan. It was well thought out and clever. You have all the cast you’re used to in the story of Peter Pan, however this gives Captain Hook some background and some footing to be evil really lol. I know that sounds weird but I’m now a Hook fan *Tinkerbell will always be my first love!* I can’t wait for book two! Absolute wonderful read.

We know the fairytales by heart, had great fun guessing which character we felt best represented us but what do we really know of these tales? In Suzanna Lynn’s “Hook’s Little Mermaid” these tales of wonder become alive once again but who is the villain and who is the hero? This page turner had me “hooked” from the start. The depth the characters hold was amazing to read and just when you thought you knew the plot a whole new twist kept you glued to this fictional drama until the very end. I loved this book and can’t wait to read the what happens next.

If you love twisted tales about beloved characters like Peter Pan and Captain Hook, Little Red Riding Hood and the Big bad Wolf then you will love Suzanna Lynn’s “Hook’s Little Mermaid”. This tale is a definite page-turner that I promise you won’t want to put down. I know I didn’t. Mrs. Lynn gives you a great back story on Jameson Shaw (Captain Hook ) in a great spinoff of a classic fairy tale. Her attention to detail and character description is phenomenal and leads the reader down a trail of great imagination. While this twisted tale has a darker concept, it is a fantastic read and I would recommend to any reader that loves fantasy.

Captain James Hook wasn’t always a pirate and he didn’t always have a hook, he started off as a humble fisherman, but when it didn’t bring in any wealth, he decided to rename his ship the Jolly Roger and hoist the black and white flag of a pirate, but he was an honest pirate at least and did give back to the poor on occasion, however, that all changed when he went on a quest to kill Peter Pan to avenge the death of a loved one.
This journey was not as easy as he first thought, but he had made a start by knowing he had to go to Neverland to find him, so he pulled into one of his well frequented ports and went to visit an old friend to get some information on how to trap a fairy and once he had acquired that fairy called Tinkerbell and hashes out a deal, he stopped in an another port of call for supplies. While acquiring the means to cross the seas to Neverland, the Captain befriends a young woman named Red by the locals when he comes to her aid in a marketplace, in return he receives some valuable gifts and information, as well as a new acquaintance, or maybe even a friend.
As he nears Neverland and his nemesis, Captain Hook comes across a deadly sea creature and hopes his acquisitions will allow him to sail swiftly from it’s clutches and when he arrives, he sees Peter Pan and puts his plan into action, however, he is foiled by the wily fairy and doesn’t attain his goal. Meanwhile, he just can’t resist helping a damsel in distress, or becoming in distress himself and between storms, mermaids, magic and Lost Boys, this adventure is turning out to be one of many twists and turns, but can he resist the pull of vengeance, or will his one of his rescued damsels convince him to turn from that path? This is a story for all ages as this retelling steers you through dangerous waters and leads you to a destination you can only reach by reading through to the end.

(The Untold Stories Book 1) by Suzanna Lynn – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
I was absolutely enthralled by this. I was a little worried as Peter Pan is one of my favourite stories from my childhood – the whole no-growing-up thing is something that I still live by – but this was just fantastic and there was honestly no way that I wasn’t falling in love with it. Lynn takes Hook from being an out and out villain to a sympathetic character, who despite years of being programmed to hate the pirate, found myself rooting for him. I loved the way that Lynn took elements that everyone knows and loves from the classic tale and puts her own spin on it that makes something more magical than the original. I know, I can’t believe it myself and honestly, I feel like it’s sacrilege to even say it, but I don’t think I can go back to the original Peter Pan now without being forever changed by this book. This is a fun read, that also has a depth to it that was wonderful to explore, anyone looking for a new and refreshing take on a beloved tale, this is perfect. I adored every second of it and cannot wait to read the next tale.

Hook’s Little Mermaidis the first instalment in The Untold Stories series by Suzanna Lynn. This is a wonderful young adult fantasy and is a mash-up of several classic fairytales, giving us a different perspective on a story(stories) we all know so well. With Captain Hook, Peter Pan, The Lost Boys, Tinkerbell, Mermaids, Red Riding Hood, drama, magic, revenge, history….. and so much more, everything comes together into a truly captivating story. I really enjoyed this clever mash-up- as Peter Pan has always been a favourite of mine. This had an extra element of interest for me though, because we get Hook’s perspective of things- giving us the backstory and motivation behind Hook’s vendetta on Pan. So, if you like clever and well-woven retellings of classic fairytales, are intrigued by Captain Hook and how he came to be like he is- then this is definitely a book you won’t want to miss. Happy Reading!

Hook’s Little Mermaid (Book One of The Untold Series) by Suzanna Lynn was a great read! I was captured from the beginning. This was a twisted take and tale of a classic fairytale story. This was very reminiscent to me of the show Once Upon A Time, just like a younger version of it. This story is one for all ages, and I think everyone would enjoy it. Once I started reading this story I didn’t even want to put it down! Kudos to this author on an amazing story. I can’t wait to dive into the next installment!

Hook’s Little Mermaid: Captain Hook by Suzanna Lynn is a wonderful book about the background of how Captain Hook came to detest Peter Pan so much. I like that the author created such a detailed backstory. It makes the Peter Pan & Captain Hook story more interesting. Wonderful job keeping the fairytale and adding the background. There’s always two sides to a story and in this case we have a new perspective on Captain Hook. Doesn’t it make it much more interesting? I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

This story gives childhood characters a new role in new adventures. This is a great story for any young adult that enjoys adventure. In this story of what happens when you pick a rose. Ride Riding Hood teams up with Rapunzel to do battle. They go on another great adventure that will keep you turning pages. I highly recommend this book.

Hook’s Little Mermaid is the book one of The Untold Stories by Suzanna Lynn. This is a Young Adult Fantasy that will absolutely pull you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. I mean what’s not to love about a fairytale. This is a wonderfully written retelling of Captain Hook and Peter Pan. I think anyone can enjoy this book especially young adults ages eight and up. Follow along with Captain Hook on his wild adventure and find out what happens next in this must read. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Hooks Little Mermaid: Captain Hook crosses paths with an enchanting mermaid, as he seeks revenge against Peter Pan by Suzanna Lynn is the first book in the Untold Stories series. This is a unique retelling of a well known story and the author has done a good job of taking the story and creating something new. The author manages to create a vivid picture of everything going on so it really felt like you were there. It would have been nice to see a little more of the dark Captain Hook that you are use to but it was good to see him in a whole new perspective. This was a front start to a new series and I am looking forward to reading the next.

This is the second book in The Untold Stories series. This is the story of Red Riding Hood and how she frees Rapunzel from her tower prison. Red is reunited with her friend, Captain Hook, who is looking for magical tools to help him rescue the mermaid princess. Red also befriends Lycos, the white wolf of the Blakx Forest. As secrets are uncovered, they all realize the witch that has taken over Oz has played a part in all their lives. This is another exciting story that weaves together various characters from different fairy tales.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read the rest of the series! This was an enchanting spin on the origin story of Captain Hook. Add Red Riding Hood and the Little Mermaid and you have an adventure full of surprises. Hook was not always the despicable pirate he has been made out to be. Setting out to destroy Peter Pan, Hook becomes entangled in a plot to overthrow Atlantis when he saves a mermaid princess.
This book was a very quick read, meaning I couldn’t put it down! I cannot wait to get the second book in The Untold Stories series. This is definitely a series I want to share with my granddaughter.

Fairy tale – check. Mash up of beloved fairy tales – check. Brilliantly merged stories that create a brand new universe of imagery and imagination – triple check. The author does a brilliant job weaving together a tale that felt familiar and original all at the same time. It was brilliant and I loved every page. And now I’m torn as to whether I should immediately reread this book or devour the next in the series. Maybe both!!!!!
