Starred Ratings: ⭐⭐⭐
 

The Never King is a book I have seen being hyped on TikTok. I even added it to my TBR list. Never touched it and read older books. Then, it got selected for the themed book of our found family trope. I pushed all other books aside and started the Vicious Lost Boys series. I can't decide if I love it or not. Maybe I am hanging in limbo. We should get to the review. 


The Never King (Vicious Lost Boys, #1) Review 


Nikki St. Crowe wrote The Never King (Vicious Lost Boys Book, #1). This Dark Romance centered around Peter Pan and Wendy’s great-granddaughter, Winnie. All the Darlings women before her were kidnapped by Peter Pan only to be returned later with mental illnesses. Winnie feared she would be among them soon. Then her eighteenth birthday arrived, and she was whisked away to Neverland. However, things were not as she was told. There was no mention of hot fae princes and a threatening man. Nope, only Peter Pan and the magic world lingered in those tales. 

The Never King was a retelling of the Peter Pan story. Winnie discovered far more than her mother told her. Secrets were discovered and stolen treasures found. Winnie and the lost boys found something any of them knew they wanted. This reverse harem was a two in one read. The traits of a dark romance and reverse harem. What more could a reader want? The dynamic between Winnie and the lost boys was engaging. The little mysteries stashed beneath the writing kept me intrigued until the very end. It helped that the novel was short. Read it in one go. 

There were a few mishaps. One was where Winnie mentioned bash's name before he even told it to her. I thought it was a bit weird. There were a few instances when she would refer to them as the lost boys. There was no way of her knowing their title when she was new to the world. That had me puzzled also. I was not a big fan of Winnie. I didn't get that deep connection as one would with a protagonist. Otherwise, it was a good read. I rated The Never King three out of five stars.

Sucked Review

  Book Source: Kindle Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Erotica Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶🌶🌶/5 Sucked by AR Taboo Review ‘She can’t keep it out of her mouth’.  I went into this one with an entire baggage of curiosity. I noticed a friend read and gave a review. Two sentences got me wanting to find out what it meant. There was nothing there for the book bio/synopsis which enhanced my urge to know what the hype was about. Knowing me, I got a little too curious, and rushed to read it. I gobbled up this thing without batting an eye. No one would think I was reading anything smut worthy much less as taboo as this. Like what the heck?  I’ve become so desensitized to these things that nothing affects me these days. No triggers. Not even this Novella. At this point, I could wave down the train to hell and buckle myself in. This was just…I’m lost for words.  Father reunited with daughter after years of not seeing each other. That was just ...

The Dark One (Vicious Lost Boys, #2) Review

Book Source: Kindle Store Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Spice Radar: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 Type of Novel: Series  Genre: Dark Romance Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Book two of the Vicious Lost Boys series and I am here for it. The cliffhanger in book one got me intrigued. I jumped into book two to see what happened. Triggers includes Sex scenes, profanity, violence. I advise reading Nikki's content warning before jumping into this one.  The Dark One (Vicious Lost Boys, #2) After The Never King came The Dark One in the Vicious Lost Boys series. Nikki St. Crowe once again gave us what we needed in this Peter Pan retelling. I figured the title referred to Vane, the character. However, it was still centered around The Lost Boys of Neverland. A continuation of the last scene in the first book, The Never King.  I liked the way Nikki wrote the novel. It made it seem as if I was watching a bad ass show on tv. Sex included. The story got more in debt of the lives of the pe...

Coming Up for Air Review

  Book Source: Kindle  Cross-Post Review:  Chantie's Goodreads Review Type: Standalone Novel Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Smut Rating: 🌶/5 Coming Up for Air by Amanda Meuwissen Review  I stumbled on this story and noticed the merman on the book cover. I didn't even think much into it---not even to read the synopsis---why I took such a chance was beyond me---and got the book. My childhood obsession with merfolks--not Ariel, I hated her---followed me into adulthood. Therefore, anything merfolk and I'm going to read it. This book fell into that category. And, I was glad I decided to read this book.   It all began when Leigh was dumped into the river by the mobster brothers, whom he stole from to appease the mafia he worked for. On the verge of drowning, he was kissed by an angel. Later he woke ashore without the shackles that the gangsters had tied around his ankle. Thinking nothing of it, Leigh went home, trying to come up with a plan to get himself out of the bind he ...
