About the author
T.S. Kinley
8 books882 followersT. S. Kinley is a passion project created by two sisters with a shared obsession and vision. We came together with the dream of creating something beautiful, imaginative, and yes… SEXY.
Once upon a Time… it all began with sisterly gossip about erotica and romance novels. Our conversations quickly became fantasies about our own desires to author such work. We would muse how someday in a utopian future, our fantasy would become reality. Ultimately we decided rather than wait for the future to find us, we would create utopia ourselves. Using our love of books, natural gift of creativity, and some savvy study on publishing itself, the concept for our very first book was born.
We started off as a Cosmetologist and an RN, and quickly developed into a dynamic writing team with a style that lends a unique perspective to our books. Second To The Right; book one of The Neverland Chronicles is a reverse harem erotic continuation on the beloved classic telling of Peter Pan.

oh my gods 😭 i’ve been in a massive reading slump for the past few months, and this just pulled me right out of it solely to read this book. i wanna cry 😭 it was amazing, i’ll truly cherish this series forever. out of the hundreds of books i’ve read, this series is now top ranked in my heart. i can’t wait to reread it.
after reading the first and second book in this series, all i could think about for WEEKS was how excited and impatient i was to read the next one, once it released. So the second i found out it released (unfortunately i found out about a month after the release, ahhh) i immediately downloaded it and began reading 🥹
and HOLY, all the plot twists and turns throughout this book were giving me a heart attack! lolz! it was all so amazing, almost cried near the end there with terror haha. but i’m so happy it was a happy ever after 🥹 and from the sounds of, it looks like there will be a continuation book with Mic! ahh! i’m so happy about that, i most definitely would have cried if this was the true end for this series haha. i don’t ever want this series to end, seriously T.S. Kinley, i am going to need about 15 more books in this series please! 🥰🥹
definitely go read this book ♡

I really loved the first two books of the series, so the fact that I really didn't love this last book makes me sad! I really do think the author does a great job creating the magic and mystery that is Neverland, but the plot in the third book definitely had me going ".....what did I just read?" more times than I could count.
To me the book felt very rushed and very slow at the same time. It got really monotonous toward the middle of the book because every challenge the characters faced I found myself going "Really? WHAT NOW?" I was so over how many problems were introduced without any solutions. It felt like the author was really trying to do too many things at once; there were too many moving parts. And the solutions really didn't make any sense when they were introduce. They seemed more for convenience and shock value than anything. The ending was really rushed. There was a whole big build up to an ultimate showdown between the evil coming for Neverland and the band of Lost Boys, and then it just felt kind of lackluster. The book ended on a weird cliffhanger, and not all of the problems that were presented were solved!
I also found a lot of the spicy scenes to be incredibly cringey.
Overall I would probably still recommend the series, but the ending left me feeling less than enthused with this installment of the series.

Lesson learned: When book 1 of a smut series is decent but the sequel is worse, don't bother reading the 3rd book.
Dumb plot things:
-Gwen is cursed with this parasite or whatever that is going to kill her unless she fulfills a bargain within a certain amount of time and it's not priority number fucking 1 to get this done? Instead there's another dinner party and the lost boys are building her a house??? Like??? Huh???
-We spent so much time in book 1 and 2 talking about how important the bond between Gwen and Mic was only for Mic to fuck off to another realm the whole book. It felt like the authors just didn't want to bother writing about her so they sent her away to find a “more permanent cure”. What.
-Gwen suddenly gets all the powers and memories in the universe. Whaaaaaat is this OP bullshit 🤣🤣and then we time jump and she's supposedly been away for several months on a training montage with the Bone Fairy. What is this?!?!
-Where is the smut?! Where is the yearning?! When there was smut, it would last 2 pages! I'm done with this series 😤
(The Peter and Hook scene was 🔥🔥🔥 but tooooo short!!) 1.5 out of 5 acorns.

1.5⭐ - just not for me. I only read it because I can't bare not knowing how things end

Predictable, annoying and gross!
The only reason this book is squeezing 1 star out of me is because I can’t give a lower rating.
The characters remained very one dimensional throughout the whole series. Everything was also just so simple and easily resolved. I’m talking everything from smaller emotional issues resolved in a few sentences to the multiple big bads being resolved in small paragraphs.
Every single description was repeated over and over until I wanted to bang my head on the table. The writer also kept using the excuse of ‘our bodies were always better at talking’ probably because they couldn’t come up with any decent conversational scenes.
The author appeared to think their readers wouldn’t know any common pop culture and literature references and made sure to add unessissrsy details so that the decision to reference something became redundant.
There were 100’s of times I shuddered in disgust and 1000s of times cringed.
The FMC could not have been more frustrating, she had more of a Bella Swan complex than Bella Swan herself and also was more self sacrificing than Tris Pryor… look at me!!! Referencing!!! I think I have Stockholm syndrome which was also referenced and aggressively explained in this series.
The author seemed to dip their toe in every romance book trope and retelling they could have. If this was written by AI I wouldn’t be shocked and that would actually be some form of closure.
I’m considering requesting financial compensation for the therapy I now require!!

This was perfection, I was lost in the world of lost boys, sexy pirates, and magic. I would love to read more by the author. It was magically written in a way that I felt like I was there watching everything happen. Oh my gawwdd and the spiciness was hot.

such a good ending to this trilogy! if you like smut, multiple love interests, fae, and magic then this is for you! this series really sucks you in from the first page.
the story is fast paced and easy to follow along with. there were only a couple reasons why I didn’t give this book 5 stars, the main one being that the ending was too rushed. I also felt like at times I was confused about the magic and how things connected to the other books, but that could be because I didn’t do a reread.
eben is my favorite lost boy and I will die on that hill!🥹 and james grew on me😏
highly highly recommend this series if you are looking for something fun to binge read! all on KU! (queen of the lost boys releases june 23rd, 2023)!

I have read a lot of fairytale retellings but this series has been my absolute favorite. If you've read first two books I'm sure you already know it. I finished arc couple days ago and I can't bring myself to start a new book because I'm not ready to leave Neverland or these characters. This book had me in a chokehold the whole time I was reading it. I am so jealous of Gwen. Her group of men are pure perfection. I loved getting to know each character through out this series. I loved the bond between the men and Gwen as well as the sisterly bond between Gwen and her sister. It brought so much heart to the story. And that in addition to the spice made it the perfect series. And omg the spice was HOT! I have read other Peter Pan themed series but they have nothing on this one. This author is definitely a new favorite and you can bet if she writes it I will read it. I highly recommend it. Just make sure to read the first two books before diving into this one.

3.75⭐️s rounded up
This was by far the best of the series. Less spice and more plot this time, but the spice was also so much better in this!
This definitely filled the void that the Vicious Lost Boys left in my soul, but doesn’t quite live up to it unfortunately.
This entire series does come with trigger warnings which are listed in the book so please make sure you read then before delving into the Neverland Chronicles.

please tell me there is more?????
the ending cannot be the ending. what is going on with mic???? i need to know!
the series overall was so good. i do have to admit, this last book was slow for me. i just wanted to know what would happened at the end. were they going to get their happy ending or will it just be fight after fight? so many fights throughout got boring for me, but the ending made up for it — in my opinion.

There were problems all over the place!! Plot hole palooza!! There were so many things going on and very very half assed explained and half of them were magically resolved within a paragraph. I don’t know, and a cliffhanger ending with so many things not explained?? I can’t find info anywhere on if there are going to be more books. I thought this was it?

This was the best book in the series for sure. It was a wild adventure, but I feel content with the ending. This whole genre was new to me and sheesh 😈😈

Action Packed Finale!
Queen of the Lost Boys is action packed in more ways than one! With Gwen’s journey coming to an end, I could not have thought of a better way for the series to conclude. The pace of the book was fantastic with each chapter holding so much detail. A true page turner with beautifully written spice! this book and series are not to be missed!

Queen of the Lost Boys (Book 3, The Neverland Chronicles) - T.S. Kinley
This was a book that kept popping up for me and I was very intrigued by it so when hubby got me the whole series for my kindle I was so excited to get started.
T.S.Kinley is actually two sisters who came together and created a passion project – a dream of creating something that was beautiful, imaginative and sexy!!! The sisters are now a dynamic writing team with a unique perspective when it comes to their books.
Gwen thought she could finally have peace and enjoy life here in Neverland finally, alas it was not meant to be.
There is a darkness growing inside her, threatening to take over from within and hurt those she cares for most. But there is also a darkness threatening to destroy Neverland.
Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, Captain Hook and everyone in Neverland will need to work together, build a truce no matter how fragile if any of them have a hope of surviving, if they all want to see Neverland another day.
Yet this evil threatening Neverland and everyone, is seeding trouble from within the Lost Boys. They need to remember who they are and what they hold dear - remember each other if they want to stop what is coming.
One thing remains clear – Gwen will need to truly accept her fate, her role as Queen of Neverland if all is to be well.
“Queen of the Lost Boys” is the thrilling finale in The Neverland Chronicles. We see Gwen really had to step up and do what is truly best for her. Though I must admit I found her to be a bit whiny in this book and it was a little frustrating to read. I do really believe Captain Hook has been severely misunderstood and mistreated by Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, so I did enjoy that they all seem to have come to a joint understanding. Peter Pan really annoyed me at this stage in the series. I thought he would have been slightly more mature and understanding. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and additive read – Captain Hook and Eben still remain my favourite characters of the series.

Neverland Journey
Queen of The Lost Boys is Book 3 in The Neverland Chronicles. I did wonder if this was going to be the last instalment , but quickly realised that there is so much more to learn, know and explore.
This was perfection with Gwen coming into her own and becoming the true warrior queen that we all knew she could be. This delicious tale that is woven amongst Gwen and her five men (Peter, Eben, Tripp, Ryder and James), is exquisite. With all the hardships and difficulties they must endure and overcome, as well as learning and exploring their individual and joint relationships…. This essentially is the perfect way to complete Gwen’s character.
I know that they are many more wonderful journey’s to embark on in this exploration of Neverland. Looking forward to it all.

The final book and it did not disappoint! What a journey. This story is packed with adventure, war, love, sacrifice, and pure magic.
Thank you to the author for creating such a beautiful series. I’m in love with it! One of the best Peter Pan retelling for sure, thrilling and impossible to put down. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, desperate to know what happens next.
Gwen and her boys are absolutely adorable together, and their bond is everything. They would do anything for each other, like… anything.
The spice hits just right, the emotions run deep and I devoured this series. I’ll definitely be picking up the author’s other duet!

What a satisfying end to the series!
All the twists and turns had me hooked 😜 — just when I thought we were out of the woods, boom, another surprise.
We meet a few new characters in this one, and I really enjoyed how well they were developed. The world-building continues to shine, especially the intricate magic system. It’s so creatively woven into the story that I caught myself pausing just to imagine how everything looked and worked.
Not gonna lie, there were one or two moments where I wanted to reach into the pages and shake a certain character 😅 but honestly, I loved them.
Dark creatures, dangerous adventures, and a more sinister side of Neverland made this such a thrilling ride. A magical and intense conclusion to a series I enjoyed.

This trilogy became so much more than a simple story about a Peter Pan and girl in Neverland. The first book was honestly a bit difficult to get through but the adventure really picked up and what a wild ride. I feel like a lot of the happenings in this last book could have been expanded upon because I want more to the story now. And was I wondering what it meant by “why choose” well I certainly am no longer wondering! The spice level. The spice. Oh my goodness my goodness. 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

Loved this series! Overall, this was a fun and sexy Peter Pan retelling that I didn’t want to put down for a second! Highly recommend this series.
Please tell me we’re going to get Mic’s story next!🙏🏻

This book made me mad so many times, but I still really like it.

Me gusto estuvo muy entretenido aunque algunas partes se me hicieron muy repetitivas como en los otros libros pero me gusto bastante la historia

I liked this one the best of the 3.

Did the plot sometimes jump the rails a little bit? Yes. Was the spice spicing? Also YES.
August 26, 2025
this whole series was meh. 😕 I DNF'd the last book I just couldn't handle the writing anymore
February 2, 2026
I did not want to finish this book. I read the first 2 in series and even read the spin off so felt obligated to finish series. ugh
March 21, 2024
This is my favourite book of the three. Gwen and her sister made it back to Neverland and everything is chaos. There’s adventures, war and a bunch of new characters. There’s a lot of struggle in this book but it’s interesting how the different characters all handle the situations as they present themselves. I think my favourite new character in this book was the bone fairy. We also get a lot more of Captain Hook instead of all lost boys.
