 The Dark One by Nikki St. Crowe is a captivating and sensual continuation of the Vicious Lost Boys series. This second installment focuses on Winnie Darling and her deepening connections with the Lost Boys, culminating in her romantic involvement with Vane.

While the book primarily focuses on the passionate and intimate relationships between the characters, there's a sufficient amount of plot to keep the story engaging. The exploration of the island's history and the underlying tensions between the Lost Boys and the other groups on Neverland provide a compelling backdrop for the romantic elements.

The banter between the characters is witty and engaging, contributing to the overall enjoyment of the story. St. Crowe's vivid descriptions of the island's landscapes and atmosphere create a richly immersive experience. If you're looking for a passionate and sensual fantasy romance with a touch of adventure, The Dark One is a satisfying continuation of the series.
