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.

I swore off bikers and my family’s motorcycle club, and enrolled in nursing to save lives instead of taking them. When a rival club murders my father, my brother orders me to infiltrate and avenge him. I’m the only one who can get close without being recognized. Destroying my enemies from within won’t be the hard part. Hiding my identity will be, and it won’t be long until the Jackals discover my secret, and I wind up like my dad.

Story
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.

As a vampyr who was born to fulfill a prophecy, my life was planned before I was created. I obeyed every rule, and I became the perfect vampyr, but one night changed everything. Rejected by the man who was destined for me, who was supposed to love me forever, I do the only thing I can. I flee into the night, nursing my broken heart. Being a rejected mate corrupts the soul, however, and in this game of Courts and Kings, nobody wins. Nobody except the monsters in the shadows.

Scarred, isolated, and practically alone–that was my life before attending Darlington Founders University. I spent my days in the shadows, fading into the background and hiding the person I was ten years ago. A broken, damaged girl I didn’t want to remember. My life changed when I met them. Three men who altered everything. I witnessed something I shouldn’t have, and now I’m suddenly the object of their obsession. Tristan Amato, Hendrix Knight, and Constantine Ferreira. Wealthy playboys hellbent on claiming me for their own.

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.

Brooding, dark-eyed Oscar takes pictures of me when I'm not looking and tempts me with his piercings, inked skin, and honeyed words.

I've returned to my hometown of Grimdale to cat-sit for my parents while I plan my next move. I'm looking forward to raiding their fridge, hanging out with their two kittens, and staying far, far away from anything supernatural. But I forgot that I'm never alone in Grimdale. The three ghosts I used to play with as a kid are back in my life again. Only now I'm their age, and they're infuriatingly attractive.

Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Just how i like 'em: dark and twisty.
TLDR:
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.

Madness on Neverland
Darling Madness is unique twisted take on Peter Pan. Staring a sweet, but traumatized FMC, Angela. Her murderous older brother tried to burn her to death before pushing her out of her window. Years later she's reunited with her mother, who abandoned her after the attack, but now, after she's remarried, wants to reunite her daughter. Lured in with big promises, Angela gets to the island, where she introduced to her new stepbrothers, Pan and Shadow (the twins), and Peter (the director's adopted son). James, the director of Never Island is her new stepfather, and she quickly learns that not everything is what she was lead to believe. Never Island houses a mental facility and people come to the island but never leave.
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.
