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.

Dance is in my blood. It’s what keeps me sane, out of trouble. It used to keep them out of trouble, too - a group of boys I grew up with. Xeno, York, Zayn, and Dax. We were a crew once. and we ruled the clubs. Separately we were insanely good; together we were unbeatable. F--king on fire. I was their girl, and they were my breakers. Until they did something they promised they never would: broke my heart.

Story
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.

After breaking free from the gilded cage of my abusive marriage, I have nothing to my name but a letter from a long-lost relative. Come home, Willow. Your family is waiting for you. I sacrificed everything to flee for the tiny town of Briar Valley and its promise of a better life for my young daughter. Hope often takes the unlikeliest of forms, but I didn't expect to find it nestled among the rugged, snow-capped mountains. Nor did I intend to surrender my heart to three tortured mountain men hiding from their own grief in the thick forest of pine trees.

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