Reviews with content warning for Panic attacks/disorders - The Never King

*spoiler alert** **THIS REVIEW MAY BE GRAPHIC AND CONTAIN SPOILERS**
**WARNING!! this book is not for everyone TW includes but is not limited to Prostitution, kidnapping, exhibitionism, voyeurism, bondage, sadism, and degradation **

So from my count, this book goes through at least 5 POVs and it became a little difficult to keep track of in the beginning, but once I got the hang of it, it wasn't too bad. I'll admit it took me a minute to get into this book, but once I got a few chapters in, I had a list of questions that I definitely needed answered.

I

loved that it did touch on the backstory of the Lost Boys a little, Bash and Kas, specifically, but I would have loved to see more about Vane. I am hoping his story comes to light more in future books. Hearing about what happened to Pan and what happened between him and Tink definitely was a bit of a plot twist for me. I thought that Tink was in love with Pan, as that tends to be how it goes, but what she did to him and how he killed her had me with my mouth open.

"One rule, don't fuck the darling"

When it starts like that, we all know what's going to happen. I was fully expecting Pan to be the first one but was surprised when it ended up being Bash. Bash and Kas have this sharing kink and I am here for it. I really want to know what happens with Vane and if he will give up and be with Winnie.

I hope in further books, that you learn more about the shadows and the 7 kings. Hook was mentioned, but not enough to make him pivotal to the story. I am hoping to read more about that part of the story and find out what happened with Cherry and Hook. Since Cherry is from Hook's area but frequents the Lost Boys, and not to mention, is basically in love with Vane.

Overall, the story wasn't bad. It was entertaining and I will be reading the next one.

This was neither good nor bad.

In this world, and in yours, if you're not the monster, then you're the prey. And we can't have that, Darling.

A short dark retelling of Peter Pan with RH; where he kidnaps a Darling every few years, whenever they turn 18, because their ancestors stole his shadow; which bring him power and makes him a ruler. Without it he is weak.

Now, he kidnaps Willow Darling on her 18th birthday. He taught that she was like all the previous ones; scared; upset; crybaby. But Willow isn’t. She, on the other hand, has hots for all the guys…

Willow grew up with a mentally traumatic mother(due to being kidnapped) and has been practically raised herself. She knew about her mother’s profession: a prostitute. From a young age, there was a woman that she idolized name Stella. Stella is good at what she is doing. She knew how to use her knowledge and body to manipulate greedy men.

And so when Willow gets kidnapped to Netherland. She tried those tactic. What she didn’t expects is for them to see through it all.

Sometimes I got second hand embarrassment from Willow. She is definitely those FMC who think of themselves better then the other girls.
