What to expect: - A dark romance Peter Pan retelling (all characters are aged up and this is DARK)  - Why Choose (aka ... she gets all 4 \ud83c\udf46) - "Don't touch the Darling" - Villainous\/Morally Grey MMCs galore - Fae Princes and Lost Boys - Dub Con - Hotttt kitchen times - Fighting with pirates - Searching for Pan's shadow BOOK BLURB \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffc The stories were all wrong \u2014 Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they\u2019re 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\u2019s pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren\u2019t 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\u2019ll enjoy The Never King and the Lost Boys. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and \u2018touch her and I\u2019ll unalive you\u2019 vibes.
