I spent most of my life feeling dead inside — until I met Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.

It wasn’t until Pan and Neverland that I finally felt alive.

But things are not all full of magic and sunlight on the island. There’s something darker and more sinister haunting the forest.

And worse, the fae queen and Captain Hook are ready to fight for control of Neverland and they will stop at nothing to get what they want. Including using the one thing Pan never thought he wanted or needed — me. I’m a descendant of the Darling family and now I belong to him and the Lost Boys.

War is brewing — can the Never King get his shadow back and assume his rightful throne? And if he does, where will I fit?

Or will all of Neverland be in jeopardy right along with my dark, twisted heart?

NOTE: The Dark One is book two in the Vicious Lost Boys series. It is a dark reimagining of Peter and Wendy. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy The Dark One and the Lost Boys. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and ‘touch her and I’ll unalive you’ vibes.

Ratings of Previous Books:
1) The Never KingI should have paced myself but I couldn’t help it. It’s something addictive about this story and its characters. I just kept saying no over and over to myself once I realized this book was over. I have so many questions about the way this ended!

Like I said before, this was easy to read and very addicting. So much so that I finished it in one sitting. We really dive into the politics of Neverland and the surrounding lands. There are people that are trying to kill Peter Pan all while he’s still trying to consume his shadow again. It didn’t feel drawn out or over the top.

Vane finally gave in! I was holding my breath and hoping that he would, and it was worth the wait. We get quite a few sex scenes between Winnie and the men. Each one has their different kinks and I was loving it. And once again there so no MM so Winnie was a lucky girl!

I enjoyed this and can’t wait for the next book in this series. It’s becoming a favorite and now I’ll be here not so patiently waiting for September to be back with Winnie and her men.
