About this listen

Never . . . is an awfully long time.

Growing up, Daphne always knew Peter Pan would come for her. The way he'd come for her mother, and her grandmother Wendy before that. The Darling girls. Their stories are all the same: the forever-young boy at their window after their thirteenth birthday, and the shimmering, magical land behind a star.

When Peter doesn't show for Daphne until she's seventeen, inexplicably full-grown and with no excuse for his tardiness, Daphne doesn't know what to think. Still, she has always been told that Peter Pan is her destiny. It's beyond choice to take his hand and leap into the stars, no matter what comes next.

But in Neverland, Peter's true colors begin to show. One moment, he's making Daphne's heart flutter, and the next, he's forgotten her entirely. So when Daphne stumbles into the path of Jamison Hook, the pirate son of Peter's nemesis, she lets herself get swept up in his vulgar charm, despite the warning signs.

Both boys are trouble, and both have dangerous secrets about this strange fantasy land they call home-and if she loses her heart to either one, Daphne might just lose herself, too.

Contains mature themes.

Awesome book! What a unique and dark twist on the traditional Peter Pan story. I loved Hooks character and the narrator but had a REALLY hard time understanding her he was saying half the time.

Loved!!

First of all, I want to say ignore the terrible reviews. While it is definitely not MPU, Jessa does in Never what she did best in the MPU……..she writes terribly flawed characters who betray themselves while they betray others they love. I loved Daphne’s character, although because of her age and inexperience in relationships she falls into a pattern of self-sabotage. Peter is utterly self-absorbed and lives only for his own pleasure. Jamison teases with the honesty of what he wants, but when he’s presented with the possibility of having it he chooses cowardice. I cannot wait to see where this series goes, because I trust that Jessa will weave a beautifully messy web that I want to get all tangled up in!

Angsty & Addictive

1. No mpu
2. Men’s narration so clipped.
3. Frustrating ending
4. But with those critiques…still worth it. I will definitely read the series.

Hmm…it’s tough. I think I expected something like unto mpu. This is similar but so different too.

Classic Jessa Hastings writing characters that you just want to shake some sense into. This was such an interesting and unexpected twist in Peter Pan. I couldn’t put it down.

Narration was awesome.

So much more than I expected

Such a unique and beautiful Neverland story. I love the way Jessa pursues language to cause you to stop and feel every bit of feeling she wants you to.

I need book #2 STAT

I will read anything Jessa writes. This book is so amazing. From the writing to the characters to the setting, I loved it all. I don’t understand the criticism this book gets whatsoever. Jessa does an amazing job at referencing the original story of Peter Pan. All of the characters are so interesting, and I couldn’t stop listening.

Slept on book!

the voices were great !! Loved FMC voice! Peter was really annoying. I liked the FMC, she was confusing tho. I hated the ending, I really enjoyed the story but got bored by the end sadly. I do love this author and will continue to read ANYTHING by her. ❤️

Peter was annoying

First of all, this book is beautifully written! I love the inner and outer dialogue throughout the book. The narrators do a brilliant job; it’s some of the best narrating I’ve heard in a long while. The story is fantastical, mysterious, and romantic. Though, the MFC is a bit frustrating, but she’s 18 so I try to let that go.

The ending though? Ha! I think I wanted to throw my phone across the room more with this ending than I did with Onyx Storm. I simultaneously loathed it and thought it was masterful! I love surprise endings, but this one was a punch to the gut. Pure genius! But it hurt.
