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.

tiktok made me do it

I've seen this book floating about tiktok for a while now, as I only listen to books I was pleased to see it had been brought to audible. I usual try to chose books that are longer as I feel like I'm getting more for my money, however I'm glad I decided to go ahead and get this one. its a great first book and sets the scene well for this new alterative to the original Peter pan. the narration is great and adds to the overall effect of the book. I hope the next book doesn't take too long to come to audible as I'll definitely be looking out for it.
(it does blure the lines of consent)

Short and spicy!

As much as I love a huge book I can get my teeth into, this was a nice little bite size story! Easy reading and a 5/5 on the spicy scale. (Seriously, it’s filth!)

I really enjoyed it, my only criticism is the voice actor who plays Bash annoyed me a little, easy to get over though when Peter Pan’s voice is as sexy as it is!!

Gripping and Stimulating

I absolutely loved this, I'd read the book amd wanted to see how the narrator Brought it to life. Definitely helped having different authors for different characters

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.

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.)
