Review: the Dark One

Title: the Dark One

Series: Vicious Lost Boys series

Author: Nikki St. Crowe

Release Date: April 26, 2022

I spent most of my life feeling dead inside -- until I met Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.

It wasn't until Pan and Neverland that I finally felt alive.

But things are not all full of magic and sunlight on the island. There's something darker and more sinister haunting the forest.

And worse, the fae queen and Captain Hook are ready to fight for control of Neverland and they will stop at nothing to get what they want. Including using the one thing Pan never thought he wanted or needed -- me. I'm a descendant of the Darling family and now I belong to him and the Lost Boys.

War is brewing -- can the Never King get his shadow back and assume his rightful throne? And if he does, where will I fit?

Or will all of Neverland be in jeopardy right along with my dark, twisted heart?

NOTE: The Dark One is book two in the Vicious Lost Boys series. It is a dark reimagining of Peter and Wendy. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy The Dark One and the Lost Boys. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and ‘touch her and I’ll unalive you’ vibes.

Please check the author's website for CWs.

So, the Dark One is book 2 & picks up right where the Never King left off, so you have to read book one first.

War is brewing on the island between Peter Pan, Captian Hook & the Fae Queen. And Pan's enemies are wanting to use the one thing Pan would have never thought he needed, or wanted against him- Winnie Darling. Because now, Winnie belongs to Pan and his Lost Boys and Pan isn't going to give her up so easily.

Can the Never King get his shadow back & claim his throne before the war starts? Or will all of Neverland be in jeapordy?

This was another quick, fast paced read like the Never King. It takes place within just a few days, and there is more spice to this one than the first one.

It's still dark, and twisted. The Darling returns to Neverland with Pan and the Lost Boys, where she must find her place between them. Pan is trying to hunt down his shadow before the War breaks out. The Fae Queen is going to be a bigger problem than they realized. Vane is struggling to control his shadow around the Darling. And the twins need to figure out which side of the war they fall on.

I cannot wait to find out what happens next with these characters on Neverland. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.
