Best Hook: It should dazzle the soul's curiosity with an earnest yearning for resolution.
Write the best hook you can come up with. Use previous ones to see if it's solid or make up a new one to test your creative ability to pull in a reader. Any genre. I am a believer that a good hook can and should pull in all readers regardless of their preferences. It should dazzle the soul's curiosity with an earnest yearning for resolution.
