About this listen
The last time that I could be touched without flinching was five years ago, when my brother tried to burn me alive.
Now, Mom promises me a new life, billionaire stepdad, safety. And all on the mysterious, paradise island of Never. But it’s a lie. Never’s a nightmare of secrets and dangerous desires, a cover to hide an asylum for the most broken heirs of the super-rich elite.
Now, I’m one of them.
All I wanted was a chance at a normal life. But instead, I’m claimed as the Darling of the dark and ruthless men who run Never — my stepbrothers.
Peter, Shadow, and Pan.
They’re cold, wild, psychos.
I should run from and not towards them. They’re forbidden. Only, they’re as beautiful, as they’re damaged. And their scars match my own. When they swear to burn down the world to keep me safe, I finally have a chance to no longer fear the flames…or their touch.
Except, there’s more secrets to reveal. There’s a killer on the island. And he’s coming for me next.
If you fly to Never, you may never grow up…
Our darling. Our madness. Our Never.
Darling Madness is a STANDALONE contemporary reverse harem dark fairy tale reimagining of Peter Pan.

Story
Being a vampire boss's daughter was a lot of work. Being the only girl heir from the five families, I’d always had to work harder, fight dirtier, care less. It made me into the woman I was today, causing fear in my enemies and a bloody trail for those who betray us. Then my dad sprung on me that the other bosses and their sons were coming into town. They wanted us heirs to all meet, to bond with each other.

Story
Ironside is more than a regular academy. It’s also the biggest reality TV show in the world … and a very elaborate, very luxurious prison. Their hallowed halls are ruled by the Betas, Omegas, and Deltas—but this year, the officials are stirring things up. Isobel Carter—the only rare Sigma to be accepted—is the first sign. But there are others. Many others. A sudden influx of powerful Alphas will turn academy life, and Isobel’s life, upside down.

My parents made a deal with the devil, and now I’m a Hell Fae captive. Enslaved. Owned. Thrown to the Hellhounds and expected to survive. Because only survivors earn their mates. It doesn’t matter that I don’t want to be a bride. I’m a Halfling. Part Hell Fae and part girl-who-doesn’t-give-a-shit. But because of a bargain, he owns me. Lucifer.

My life hasn't been typical. All I remember is waking up in an alley when I was ten, scrounging for scraps to survive until I was taken to the Bronzeheart estate. That's where my life began, where I've lived for the past eight years with the ruling family, the Blitz Clan. It's where I found my best friend Gage, the future leader of this clan. At the time, I didn't question my good fortune because I was happy to know I wasn't alone in this world anymore. But maybe I should have. After landing a shocking invite to Dark Imaginarium Academy, I realized how much of a safe haven the estate was.

I'm careful not to show my face, so why do I feel like I'm being watched when the camera turns off? No one should know who I am or be able to find me, but they do—and things quickly spiral out of control. The two unhinged men who fill my cam chat with all the deplorable things they want to do to me are closer than I think. To them, I'm just a pretty little tease. Their obsession turns into something so much more than I bargained for. I should have run away when they found me because now it's too late for me to be anything except theirs.

Neverland meets ‘Sucker Punch’ if I had to put it so simply.
Strap in for this one because there’s a lot going on here!
This is a really interesting twist on a classic tale (Peter Pan, though it also feels a lot like Alice in Wonderland with a lot of madness afoot). It also packs a lot of sweet moments and manages to build in some fun character development and twists as well.
You do need to pay attention to this one—I’ve seen other readers complaining that they didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t have that problem, and I didn’t find it complicated but … if I hadn’t paid attention, sure, it could’ve spun quickly.
This packs more topes, k!nks and potential tr!ggers than I can possibly list, but to name some:
🦋 Academy setting (sorta - I don’t want to spoil).
💚 Performative arts … ish.
🦋 D0m / subm!ss!ve dynamic.
💚 Neurodivergency representation.
🦋 Asmexual representation.
💚 Villainous parents.
🦋 Stepsibling romance.
💚 Twins.
🦋 Captivity.
💚 Vengeance.
🦋 Isolation.
💚 Psychological thriller vibes.
Overall: would absolutely read more in this world. So fun.
4 stars.

Excellent! The narrator was pleasant to listen to and gave a flawless performance, while delivering perfect overall sound quality. 5 stars.

This RH telling of Peter Pan had a lot of surprises and trauma with all of the characters. I loved that things came up that you didn't see coming. I liked how Shadow's character is different and how Angela is so tuned in with him. I mean...all of her guys have their struggles but Shadow needs a little extra care and attention in a different way.
This was a very interesting read and involves some very interesting characters.
