Publisher's Summary

The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain.

For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. 

Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. 

But it’s pointless. 

Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go. 

NOTE: The Never King is a reimagining of Peter and Wendy. Characters have been aged up for this darker, grittier version. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy The Never King. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and "touch her and I’ll unalive you" vibes. Book one ends on a cliff.

Please check the author's website for CWs.

If you want pure sm*t here’s the book for you

I wish the characters were fleshed out more. And some scenes made me cringe. The storyline is actually really interesting but all the s*xual scenes took away from it. Basically the main character is the lost boys s*x doll but the twist is … she likes it!

I don’t though. But the plot was good enough for me to be interested in buying the next book.

Advice: ALWAYS wear headphones

Great twist on Peter Pan and the lost boys

This had me enthralled right from the start. Great story. Great performances from the narrators. I listened to this in one sitting. Off to the second book now.

Meh!

I don't know if I'm interested enough in the story to use 3 of my credits on the other three books. Wjy could the four books be made into one book or a book of novellas as they are short. I enjoyed the performances though

the never King

The never King by Nikki st. Crowe. Omg where to start. I was told to read this last year and it was added to my tbr pile and I wanted to read it this month.
It is a retelling of Peter pan. The best way I can describe this is Peter pan meets 50 shades of grey but better

...wow

I approached this perhaps a little too innocently. I went in looking for a story with some romance, and maybe a side of erotica. I was not expecting the story to be 80% erotica and I had the majority of listening with my red face in my hands.
I cannot deny I had fun listening, and look forward to the next part,
The story itself or concept had its questionable moments that I had to keep telling myself to roll with, but it did its job in delivering its purpose. I enjoyed the majority of the voice acting, especially Peter's point of view.

Loooved it!

Loved the twisted story of Peter Pan and the lost boys, the characters and oh the spicy scenes!
I couldn’t put them down. I do wish there were more intimate chapters with Hook and I love the idea of a back story of him and Wendy ❤️
