About this listen

The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain.

For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken.

Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked.

But it’s pointless.

Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

NOTE: The Never King is a reimagining of Peter and Wendy. Characters have been aged up for this darker, grittier version. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy The Never King. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and "touch her and I’ll unalive you" vibes. Book one ends on a cliff.

Please check the author's website for CWs.

Dark, Delicious and Steamy!

St. Crowe provides a wonderfully adult (NSFW) reimagining of a childhood favorite tale. Amazing vocal talent brings the story to life and the narrative sucks you in and leaves you wanting more! What happens next?!
A dark and delightful escape! I really hope the same cast records the next two books.

Are you looking for a dark, steamy, Peter Pan retelling?

Are you looking for a dark, steamy, Peter Pan retelling? Yes, of course you are! 😉 Be sure to check out this one by Nikki St. Crowe because it B R I N G S I T! 🥵😔🔥🔥

Hook was one of my absolute favorite movies growing up and when I saw that this one had Peter Pan as the villain I knew I NEEDED IT.

Before her 18th Birthday, Winnie is taking by Peter Pan and the Lost Boys in hope to find something he believes her family (the Darlings) took from him.

While this book on the shorter side, it is a wild ride that definitely brings all the steamy and hot scenes along with a story that grabs you making you wonder what is going on in Neverland and who is really the villain in the story.

One of my favorite things about the audio with this one is the multiple narrators, who voice the different characters for their respective chapters. They have brought Nikki’s Neverland World and these characters to life.

**warning this is book one in the series, they must be read in order, little cliffy.

Great book

Loved this book and I’m looking forward to the next but be prepared to hear the word croissant pronounced as “quasant” a lot.

WOW! Didn’t disappoint!!

If you like the story of Peter Pan, but always longed for the ‘naughty version’, look no further! This is a great book and I cannot wait to start the second one.

Right up my ally

I 100% needed more Kas chapters. I need more of the twins in general but Kas was a different animal! The voice acting is the chef's kiss. Can't wait for the next book!

Never wanted to be a Darling more in my life.

Spoiler !!!!

I have never in my life been so attracted to Peter Pan and the Lost Boys in my live. The page when Darling a fucked a lost boy and Peter kills the boy, and when the twins had their turn. Let me tell you I more than wish I was in the middle of them so badly. I love me a bad boy. This is the second retelling of Peter Pan and now my favorite. I am listening to The Dark One right now. I can't wait to go home to hubby and role play. lol
