The Never King

Vicious Lost Boys, Book 1

De: Nikki St. Crowe

Narrado por: Stella Hunter, Shane East, Diontae Black, Curtis Michael Holland, Roxy Isles

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.

I've been waiting for this to come out on audio and it did not disappoint! All the narrators did a phenomenal job bringing this story to life. it's a steamy RH told in 1st person POV. I can not wait until the next book in this series!

oh. my. God.

the voices!!! they're even better than I imagined. I had to have listened to this over and over already and am hoping we get one for The Dark One! Pan's voice is filling my mind heart and soul and it will never let me go

Pan Pan Pan

This has been on my TBR for ages and...I'm kind of mad aboout it. This was honestly my favorite kind of story. Faetastic characters, Faenomenal plot, and tantalizing spice. Quick, to the point, and more than enough to chew on.

I had no idea what to expect but I'm really glad I decided to finally start this series. I'll be up late but it'll be worth it!

Wish it was done in duet!

Love the story and the voices, just wish it was a duet not a fan of them not using the same voice for the whole chapter and characters. I like it when the male characters are portrayed by men and vice versa. The female voice was good but would have loved to hear the male voices work with her.

Hmmm

So I read the book first and then saw that it was on audio and was so excited, but the audio is missing a lot of stuff from the kindle version. I don’t understand why and the story definitely didn’t end like that in the book, which is annoying. I love the characters and all in all it was a good, but very short. The narrator who played Kass though has to go. He didn’t fit the character at all and I hope Nikki finds someone else for that part on the next book.

THIS is the kind of spice I'm looking for

I've really only just begun delving into "spicy" fantasy books, but so far everything I've read has actually not been what I've been looking for. THIS, on the other hand, is actually the level of explicitly erotic that I like, and I wish I'd known sooner! While I totally see how this isn't other peoples' cup of tea, it does happen to be mine.

TLDR; it's very spicy -- essentially like an 'explicit'-rated smut fic with -minimal- plot.

While this IS a short read, the length is stated very plainly on this page so I knew what I was using my credit on. However, I still wish it was longer because I was actually enjoying it!

I also very much appreciated the multiple narrators. I felt like that put life into some of the other characters that doesn't quite pan out the same with only one.

My ONLY issues with this book were that.. despite enjoying copious amounts of sex in my fiction, I was actually expecting the plot to pick up a bit more, sooner! I did find the pace lagging a bit towards the middle. Some of the male narration was also a little off for me, but that's an entirely personal preference.

All-in-all: do read if you like explicit smut and fantasy settings and reverse harem. :)

A little short. Could have been fleshed out.

I feel like this could have been a lot better if there had just been more to it. I was not expecting the intense amount of smut but I enjoyed it.

I love it.

I love this series so much. So amazingly written and narrated. Highly recommend this one.

awesome beginning

This is book one of the series and these narrators are awesome. I am so looking forward to listening to the other two books in this series.

Hmmmm, I'm intrigued.

It has been a while since I've read a why choose, but I've been wanting to check this series out for a while. I bought the audio a while ago, so here we go.

I went in with zero expectations and I'm definitely interested to see what happens. Being the romance lover that I am, I couldn't really feel much of it coming through.

I will continue the series to see how their story will pan out.

The narration was pretty solid, the narrator for Bash wasn't quite my favorite. But overall, liked who they chose to narrate everyone.
