Never After
In the Never After series, Emily McIntire takes well-known fairy tales and turns them inside out, giving villains their time to shine. What if the villains got their own story, one where love is complicated, redemption is hard-earned, and no one is as simple as they seem? This dark, seductive retelling of beloved characters invites readers into a world where the boundaries between hero and villain are blurred and every character carries scars—both literal and emotional.
Each novel in the series offers a stand-alone story, filled with passionate love, raw emotion, and complex characters who must wrestle with their darkest impulses. From the heart-wrenching journey of a man seeking vengeance in Hooked to the thrilling redemption arc of Scarred, where a prince with a past must confront the one woman who can heal him, these stories dive deep into the human psyche, exploring themes of trust, betrayal, and second chances.
The Never After series doesn’t just twist fairy tale tropes—it reinvents them. With each book, McIntire invites you to question everything you thought you knew about happily-ever-afters. In this world, love is never easy, and sometimes, it’s downright dangerous. The series pulses with an intoxicating mix of passion and suspense, creating an immersive atmosphere where readers are constantly left wondering what will happen next.
Never After consists of six books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
