The Never King Review

  1. All the Darling women disappeared on their 18th birthday & return insane. Interesting.
  2. & something is wrong with Pan. I smell a mystery…
  3. Don’t fuck the Darlings. The fuck they taking them for if not to fuck them.
  4. The Lost Boys seem nice enough. Like teddy bears.
  5. I like Winnie’s attitude.
  6. Something was stolen.. something like a shadow?
  7. Oh, no wonder they go crazy after their trip to Neverland having someone dig into their memories. Did a Darling take something? Or just knows where and who? I love me a mystery. Have they tried asking nicely?
  8. ..is Pan a vampire? no.. that’s just not right. That better not be right.
  9. Ah, so a Darling & Tink did something… I never did like Tinkerbell.
  10. For a group of people who drove her mother insane, they seem awfully concerned about Winnie’s health.
  11. Sometimes I wish characters didn’t beat around the bush so much.
  12. “And there’s no greater power than tits and brains, baby girl” – Starla
  13. So Neverland is dieing. & These Lost Boys are easy to manipulate.
  14. Also, this is a reverse harem. One Lost Boy down, three to go.
  15. “It’s best you know what your assets are.”
  16. “Pan caught us and told me to keep fucking her. Honestly, I think the Darling liked it.” -Bash
  17. Well well well, Tink was killed by Pan [ YAY ] – but she is also the mother of Kas & Bash. Interesting.
  18. “Go on then, come for me while the Lost Boys watch.” Two down.
  19. “Take it all, Darling. Be a good girl.” Three down.
  20. Mystery solved. Shadow obtained.

The Dark One Review

  1. Jesus fuck, can this man not keep his hands on his damn shadow?
  2. “We are four very hungry men. Do you really think you’re capable of keeping up with our appetites?” – Pan
  3. Winnie does not like to share her toys.
  4. Well hello BDSM.
  5. Poor Vane what is his deal, just the dark shadow?
  6. So Wendy is not dead? & Vane has a brother…
  7. Are Cherry and I the only ones who love Hook?
  8. Oh, no wonder Cherry loves Hook. What’s she doing with the Lost Boys though?
  9. Smee is a lady. & apparently more useful than Cherry.
  10. Kinda feel bad for Bash & Kas. Tilly is a cunt.
  11. The Crocodile has got to be Vane’s brother. Did he love Wendy? but Wendy loved Pan? Who loves who damnit. Tink loved Pan. Pan loved Wendy. Is Wendy even the first Darling, or did I just assume she was?
  12. There is definitely more plot in this book than in book one. The sex scenes are way hotter. What with the safewords & all.
  13. The Crocodile is Vane’s brother. I love it when I’m right. & he did love Wendy [ Winnie’s great-great-grandmother & not the OG shadow taker ]
  14. All four Lost Boys have been claimed.
  15. & now I am picturing Three Men & a Baby. I loved those movies. I feel for Winnie.
  16. That’s right Cherry, take the shadow for yourself. Make ’em pay.
  17. “Send Darling between our houses like a child of divorced parents?” – Bash. My thinking exactly bud.
  18. Clearly Cherry hasn’t taken the shadow for herself. That’s dumb of her.
  19. What kind of Darling are the Lost Boys and Pan coming home to?
  20. Ah, a Vicious black-eyed Darling.
