March reading round-up!

Another month is over, and I'd like to share with you all the books I've read this month. I've read 1 book on my kindle, and 6 paperbacks - a total of 7 books. I haven't read as much as I wanted to this month, because of family stuff - but hopefully I'll pick it back up next month. I'm still 2 books ahead of schedule for my reading challenge!

Hook's Daughter - Heidi Schulz

My best friend bought me this book for my birthday, and it shot straight to the top of my to-read pile. I even took it with me to Disneyland Paris last weekend, but I didn't get a lot of reading done there! 

Also, I know I'm not supposed to judge a book by it's cover - but, look how pretty!! I believe it's called Hook's Revenge too, but my copy is Hook's Daughter. It was very hard to find on Goodreads because of this.

Jocelyn Hook is the daughter of the infamous Captain Hook. When he is killed by the crocodile of Neverland, Jocelyn is given a letter he wrote before he died. Jocelyn is at finishing school when she reads this - and jumps at the chance to run away and follow in her father's footsteps. Let's face it, the daughter of Neverland's most famous pirate was never going to be a lady!

I really enjoyed this book. Peter Pan is one of the best children's books I've ever read, so I love reading spin-offs and adaptations of it - and this one included Smee! He was my absolute favourite when I was younger, so it was lovely to see him on the pages when I was reading. 

Also, I found the narrator to be really funny, and it was refreshing to read a book from an outsider's perspective. I'm so used to reading first person perspective books that this one felt like I could be the narrator, as I was seeing everything play out the same way they were.

I can't wait for the next book in the series, The Pirate Code. 

Verdict: 4/5
