The Dark One: Vicious Lost Boys, Book 2

by Stella Hunter Nikki St. Crowe

4.4

Neverland is far from the magical paradise of childhood fairy tales. In this dark, gritty reimagining of the Peter Pan mythos, the protagonist finds that her newfound life with Peter and the Lost Boys is fraught with danger and shadows. As she settles into her existence on the island, she discovers that the forest hides sinister secrets, and the fragile peace she has found is under constant threat. War looms on the horizon as the fae queen and Captain Hook mobilize their forces, both desperate to seize control of the island. Amidst the brewing conflict, the Never King fights to reclaim his shadow and secure his rightful throne. Caught in the center of this power struggle, the protagonist must navigate her complicated feelings for her morally gray protectors while questioning where she truly belongs in their twisted, blood-soaked world. Featuring intense enemies-to-lovers dynamics and a protective "touch her and I’ll unalive you" atmosphere, this story is a high-stakes, spicy journey. With no true heroes to be found, the lines between ally and enemy blur, leaving the future of Neverland—and the protagonist’s own heart—hanging in the balance. This gripping second installment promises a wild, suspenseful ride that ends on a pulse-pounding cliffhanger.

The adrenaline rush picks up where the first book left off.

Image 108: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars The adrenaline rush picks up where the first book left off. RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 This Neverland is a tangled web of complicated familial and platonic relationships. Mix in greed and power, and we get grudges and ill will that span more than our own mortal lifetimes. The Dark One is the second book in The Vicious Lost Boys series, and the adrenaline rush picks up where the first book leaves off. The Lost Boys and Winnie Darling have found Peter's shadows. But these mystical silhouettes prove to be more slippery than they expected and have managed to escape their grasp. Now the Lost Boys must negotiate with enemies, such as Hook and Tilly, to regain possession of the shadows. What I love about these series so far is that Nikki St. Crowe continues to build on this intricate world, introducing new intriguing characters and drawing us in with edge-of-your-seat suspense and super-spicy romance. The main Lost Boys might be crude anti-heroes, but each possesses one or two traits that endear them to this reader. I especially love that Winnie is the much-needed sub to these domineering personalities, and they cannot seem to process that well. ::cackle:: There is much to be explored in this world, and St. Crowe draws us into her tangled web and leaves us craving for more in the next book. For those who are considering this series, you will need to start with The Never King, and check the trigger warnings. It is a dark and erotic read, but if that is your jam, this retelling of Peter Pan may be your next not-so-guilty pleasure.

See all formats and editions Number-One Best Seller in the Entire Kindle Store Number Nine on Amazon Charts 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. 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. You can expect an island with darkness and secrets and no true hero in sight, with a found family atmosphere, and "touch her and I’ll unalive you" vibes. The Dark One ends on a cliff-hanger.
