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.

Wow, a narrated experience!!

I’ve already read the book in ebook format and was listening to the audiobook because of the experience alone. The narrators were fantastic and having more than 1 or 2 really enhanced that experience.
Loved the story, pace and narrators. Great job!!

Not as good as I've heard

If you are looking for a dark smut book, sure buy it. If you want a good story don't.
it's just not that good.

It really should have a warning because im sure it could trigger some people because of the abuse..

I've heard so much about this book and I feel like it fell short in every way.. I'm not gonna listen to the rest in the series.

Känns stressad

Rent generellt var den bra. Spännande, man hade svårt att sluta lyssna. Men det känns som dem stressar fram handlingen i och med att den bara är ca 5h. Röstskådespelarna var helt ok.

Twisted, filthy and captivating

This book is really addictive and well written. I can’t stress enough on the well written part. A dark twist on Peter Pan. I like how the author goes in into this history and psychology of the characters. There are few erotic authors that I am impressed with the quality of writing ad narrative, but Nikki St. Crowe blew me away. The sex scenes and story lines are not receptive through out the series, and each character gets richer and multi dimensional through each book. I hope that author does more dark and sexy fairy tails. I can’t wait to read her other books.

Also the narrators did a fantastic job, and I think it was a great choice to have multiple narrators for a story with so many characters. Would love to see this group narrators work together again.

Fanfiction in fancy wrapping

Dont get me wrong. its not a bad story. But I have read much better fanfics than this, so I was a bit surprised to find it as a published work. There is a story here, but its lost in lazy writing. Instead of letting the characters grow and introduce the readers (or listeners) to a world that has so much potential ; its lost in bad smut that looses all spice in the lack of a buildup. Im guessing the fanbase that has rated this as a good read is very young. (The voice actors were the best part of this and did a great job.)
