Six

The Lost Boys #2

by Evie Rae, Poppy Flynn

First there were Five. Now they are Six.

Beck

The sun has dawned on a new day and after a grim fight with a notorious serial child killer, the future looks bright. Even for me.

But not everything is as it seems. The man killed in that brutal struggle? He’s not the man I remember as my kidnapper.

Neve and her guys think they’ve finally found their happy ever after, but something sinister continues to lurk in the background, threatening to steal away the happiness they’ve discovered on the islands of the Florida Keys.

Forced into hiding with Neve, I find myself falling for her, and I know I can’t let that happen.

But convincing people to believe me has always been a problem, and it looks like that hasn’t changed.

Now I need to persuade them of the truth before the past comes back to finish what it started.

Perhaps then I can have my happy ever after, too.

This book serves as the finale to Neve's journey.
Without revealing any spoilers from the previous book, Five, I won't delve into the plot details.
However, I can say that this reverse harem story is rife with sensuality, excitement, and mystery.
The unexpected twists and turns in the second book left me reeling, and the outcomes in the end were nothing short of shocking.
Each of Neve's men brought a unique dynamic to the story, with their own distinct personalities and backstories.
This conclusion tied up all loose ends and provided a satisfying outcome for all involved.

I'm not sure how to feel i have been in a kinda book slump . But i had some issues with this book: Nr 1 Jessie was an absolute asshole in book 1 and promised to be better, in this book his trauma is appearing again so he's an asshole again up to 65% in the book. He made a comment about her body , and didn't grovel anything for how he treated her in the previous book and will try to hurt her with his word as much as he can when he's angry. I don't even like Jessie, i don't remember how he fell in love with her because reading this makes it feel like he doesn't love her but he wants her body and he has trauma. He definitely didn't deserve her at all. Problem nr 2: this lame ass troupe where the fmc runs away, and the fact that it's such a big part of the book. And i kinda didn't like how the book focused on the guys trauma but not the FMC, only Beck pointed out that she had ptsd and then it was never mentioned again. It was just poor Jessie his trauma , remi can you forgive me etc etc . I felt like something was missing in this book compared to the first one which i loved, i feel like beck was thrown in there a bit too late considering he doesn't even get with Neve until the last scene...and how the guys treated Beck is unforgivable in my opinion. I still think it's an interesting story, this book just felt a bit rushed for me. But i love Oliver so much he's my cutie pie. I will probably not read her friends book cause her guys just sound like bullies and i hate bully romance

I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC of Six from Booksprout in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was such a good conclusion to Neve's story! Of course, I was still upset that her tale had (technically, with the upcoming release of H8) come to an end, but I was anxiously anticipating the second book after reading Five, and it most certainly delivered. It was certainly darker than the first novel, and Jesse still grated on me a little bit, but nothing was left unanswered and everything was wrapped up well.

My boy Beck exceeded expectations. After Five, I needed more of him in my life, and Evie Rae & Poppy Flynn certainly delivered, so thank you. It was great to see how he fitted into the dynamic and, honestly, this has definitely become another comfort series of me. Regardless of the dark themes, Neve and her men just radiate comfort energy, and I couldn't pick a favourite out of any of them.

This definitely deserves more hype, and I really hope that it gets the recognition that it deserves — it's perfect for dark, why choose lovers and I'm excited to see what both authors bring in the future.

The plot line and the conclusion to the storyline started in the first book (5) in the duet is captivating. It keeps the reader engaged and wanting to know more. There are unexpected twists and turns, along with steamy and hot moments on the side.
I found Neve quite irritating in the first part of the book as she was taking independence and martyrdom to the point of irritation. Her journey of realisation was interesting though. I like all of the 5 guy’s characters and their interactions with each other and Neve. My one issue and this is personal, and should not stop readers from trying the series, is Beck. I didn’t like him in 5 and still just can’t warm to him in 6. He feels like a pointless addition for the sake of it. Having said that readers need to make their own minds up about characters.
While this will never be my favourite book, I am really glad I’ve read it. I love the way the writers work together and I loved the island setting. I’m excited to see more of Caroline because I loved her as a character and she’s feisty so her story will be fun.

Woohoo!! 'Six' is the fantastic continuation of Evie Rae and Poppy Flynn's "The Lost Boys" duet within the "Loving in Numbers" series. This is a dark and thrilling retelling of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys but do yourself and the authors just by making sure you read 'Five' and then 'Six'. This storyline took me on an emotional rollercoaster with everything that had previously transpired and then the relief of knowing Neve, Oliver, Oscar, Remi, Cope, and Jesse all survived and was beginning to start moving forward in their polyamorous relationship. Unfortunately, it's not over. While all these bad things keep happening another person enters the picture claiming he's a Lost Boy survivor as well but no one but Neve believes Beck. This is an amazing, heart-pounding conclusion for Neve and her Lost Boys. All the pieces come together perfectly, and this group's chemistry is nothing to sneeze at. I couldn't put it down.

[Becky Dreyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an amazing continuation of the dark and haunting retelling of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. The emotional rollercoaster continues and I'm all for it. Neve, Oliver, Oscar, Remi, Cope and Jesse survived and started living their lives and moving forward with their relationship/family dynamic. Unfortunately they are not in the clear after all. More and more bad things keep happening and another person enters the scene, Beck. Beck is also a Lost Boy survivor, however nobody believes him, except Neve. The truth comes out that the Lost Boys Kidnapper is still out there and is still hunting Neve. Will they find the kidnapper or will Neve be his next victim? A fantastic continuation of Neve and her guys. Can't wait to see what's next!.

This is the conclusion of Neve and her harem of men. It picks up immediately after the last book. Neve and the guys live on a private island off of Key West, in a old resort. In the last book the group thought they stopped the Lost Boy kidnapper. They come to find, that isn't the case. Neve makes some hard decisions after talking to a reporter, Beck Wilder. Everything isn't sunshine and roses in this book. There's struggle amongst the relationships. Of course, there's struggle finding the real person behind all the kidnappings, also. The one thing I appreciated as a reader, Neve finds out the fate of her brother. That was the one thing I felt like haunted Neve. Neve's group also gets bigger, hence the title. There are some subjects that could trigger some people and violence. Good conclusion to this storyline.

This is the conclusion to the Lost Boys Duet which picks up where it left off. Our cast of characters are hopeful that the serial killer has been caught but Beck isn’t so sure. When tragedy strikes again and one of the five is hurt Neve goes into hiding thinking she’s the reason for everything and that it would be safer with her gone. This leads to hurt feelings and a when our group is divided they become vulnerable. When villains are exposed it’s too late and the men must save Neve. Little do they know just how many people are a part of the Lost Boys kidnappings. This was a fast-paced story and once the action started I was flipping pages as quick as possible. I loved this duet and the unique retelling of Peter Pan and his lost boys.

Six is the 2nd part of a duet within the Loving In Numbers series and I strongly recommend reading these books in order, as the story carries straight on from where Five ends. Full of angst and the clear sense of ever-growing danger, the attraction between Neve and Beck simmers in the background and adds another layer of tension to the story. The nail-biting suspense is so palpable that I almost skipped the steamy hot sexy times just to find out what happens next. Definitely a book I will read at least a second time to savour! There's plenty of action as the good vs. evil fight brings the story to a very well-deserved HEA that brought tears to my eyes. Highly recommended.
I was lucky to have received an ARC from the authors and am leaving this review voluntarily and honestly.

[Aspen G · Rating 5 out of 5]

Six is a beautifully-written, action-packed reverse harem love story filled with plot twists and suspenseful turns that keep you guessing until the very end! It is the continuation of the book 5, also written by the same authors, so be sure to read the two stories in order. The main characters are complex, compelling, and each bring a level of energy and authenticity to the story so that you can’t help but love each of them and root for them all. The supporting characters add entertainment and round out the amazing world-building. If you like reverse harem love stories and murder-mystery-suspense is your thing, you will love this duet of 5 and 6.

Great ending to the duet

The the continuing story of Neve and her polyamorous relationship with her men, not everything is smooth sailing. There’s a strong chance that the Lost Boys Kidnapper case isn’t really wrapped up when bad things continue to happen and Neve can’t help thinking she poses a danger to the men she loves. And what happens when Beck becomes important to her?

Evie Rae and Poppy Flynn continue to deliver a sizzling tale of passion, emotions, and suspense in this well-written conclusion to Five. Readers will be more than satisfied by the end while their appetites for the next book will definitely be whetted. Highly recommend this book.

[Dyanna · Rating 5 out of 5]

This picks up a few months after the events of the previous book.
Neve is settling into life on the island with her men. Oliver, Oscar, Jesse, Remi, and Cope all enjoy how Neve has fit into their lives.
Beck approaches Oscar to tell him that the Lost Boys case isn’t finished, but he’s ignored.
Several events occur that lead Neve to join with Beck and make some discoveries that they take to the other guys. There are a lot of hurdles and twists and turns. Plenty of steam. Loved that the Lost Boys case was fully resolved. Neve gets her happily ever after, and Beck joins the family.

Did I just stay up till 6 am to read this book in one sitting? Why yes, yes I did. Man when I tell you I absolutely devoured this book!! This is one of the first series' that got me into rh and let me just say I am forever grateful for that since I think that's now my favorite genre!! Oh man did this book not disappoint! It pretty much picks up where 5 ended off just a couple weeks after everything happened and we're introduced to Beck and all I'm going to say is I can't wait till you guys meet him because he is my favorite (sorry remi) all his bickering is just too good imo. 💗💗.

Six is the second part of this duet and you really need to read five first in order for this to make any sense. I'll be honest and say that I didn't care for Neve in this book at all. I lost all respect for her. The decisions she made seemed to lack mature thought processes in my opinion. She brings someone to a private island that isn't hers and then wonders why they aren't welcoming her with open arms? Really? I thought five was too much in the beginning, but six is just beyond over board for me. It made it seem that Neve liked any guy that wore pants. It truly became an island of misfit toys. I received an ARC copy.

[Fiona · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! Talk about action from start to finish. Neve finally discovered what happened to her brother Nicholas and with the help of Beck, they finally come to the conclusion of the investigation with several surprises ahead for them. Neve is taken to the island by Hooks me and told she is to be the Wendy to the lost boys. Lots of loving ahead, but also some anger that needs to be resolved. In the end, there is an happily ever after for Neve and her six guys. Yes there is a surprise ending.

Neve (h), Oscar (H), Oliver (H), Remi (H), Cope (H), and Jesse (H) are enjoying their lives together now that the ‘Lost Boys’ serial kidnapper/killer case seems to have been brought to a close. But there’s more action and danger awaiting Neve and her men, and a reporter, Beck (H), who keeps trying to convince them that the real culprit is still out there, waiting to strike. Plenty of heat and sexual encounters, even as the dangers, betrayals, violence, and mystery unfold. Poor Nicholas – that crew! Lots of twists and turns.

[Charlotte · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't tell you how much I want to give this series and book way more than 5 stars!! It's just an absolutely killer read. It's like no other book based on Peter Pan that I've read and it completely floored me from the first book until the final one. All of the unanswered questions that I had were answered in this one with some gruesome and shocking discoveries. With some cleverly twisted ot twists that caught me by surprise and lots of steamy scenarios. So Good! I cant praise this series up enough. A knockout read.

[Leisel · Rating 5 out of 5]

First off this is not a standalone book but the second part of a very entertaining duet! I must admit I had to quickly reread the first book (book 5) in this two part series to reacquaint myself with both the plot and characters but so glad I did has it simply rekindled my interest in these wonderfully created characters in such a unique plot. If you enjoy reverse harems with a great dose of mystery you won't be disappointed in this great read.

★ “…if that monster is still out there, then there’s one thing I’m absolutely certain of…” ★

—>>> “Neve is his prey.”Drama and suspense were top notch as we follow the characters through their journey on this conclusion to their story. New twists and revelations; everything is tied up neatly and with great satisfaction, and Neve’s heart has room for one more deserving male to add to her new family. Glad that Caroline is not left hanging and will get a Violet Gordon-Woodhouse story of her own - can’t wait!

[Kimberlea Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic Conclusion

This book was so good!!! Seeing Beck be brought into the group of Neve’s guys was a wild journey. After the last book, 5, it seemed like all mysteries & danger were dealt with, but Beck knew differently. It’s just convincing everyone else of the truth. Will the truth come out in time? Can Neve & ALL of her men finally get a HEA? Believe me, you wanna read this & find out!

I made sure my weekend was free before starting this book, I should not however have started on the Friday night! Sleep was intermittent due to the need to keep reading the story!
Once again the characters and storyline were amazing and I was engaged from page one. The talented storytelling had me invested in what happened to all the characters to the very end.
This story, nay this series B4, 5 & 6 are must reads.

This has been a fantastic experience. You know it’s a great story when you can take out all of the sexy bits and the story still holds up. It was suspenseful, horrifying, exciting, and the bad guys get their due. This retelling of Peter Pan has been one the best that I’ve read (and there seems to be several coming out right now). Very well written. Peter Pan meets CSI.

Dark Moments Yet A Satisfying Ending

The Lost Boys Kidnapper is still at large. Neve decides to run away to protect her men (Oscar, Oliver, Jesse, Remi and Cope), running into Beck, a reporter obsessed with the Lost Boys case. As new clues in the case unveil, can Neve keep her relationships from unraveling? I really enjoyed this fast paced and steamy story - the bad guy is terrifying because he thinks he’s going a good thing - the ending had me absolutely in its grip. An exciting story.

[Belinda Clemons · Rating 5 out of 5]

Neve, Oscar, Oliver, Remi, Cope, and Jesse are finally relaxing and enjoying life after everything that went down and the Lost Boys case having been closed, but there is still something sinister lurking in the background and also a new guy in the wings Beck a reporter who is trying to convince them that the real kidnapper/ killer is still out there. this book was so exciting and mindblowing i loved it and cant wait for Caroline's book.

[Bluebyyou · Rating 3 out of 5]

Okay read.

The female lead was kinda all over the map (and cried way too much) and the male resort owner lead's characterization continued to be pieces that just didn't fit together but the relationship-building between the female lead and male reporter lead was enjoyable and the continuation and wrap-up of the plot-driven story started in 'Five' was both engrossing and satisfying

Recommend.

[Elizabeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was a nice wrap-up to the duology. There wasn't as much steam as in the first book, but more drama was going on. Questions were answered, and more were developed in the plot and with the characters. I enjoyed the story.

It was a refreshing take on Peter Pan while not being a complete Peter Pan/Neverland story.

Six is the brilliant ending of a journey that started with B4 and Five (B4 is the prequel and is included in the Five book).
At the end of Five, we left Neve and her guys in a HFN situation and still lots of questions.
With a story full of suspense, discoveries and danger, the authors wrote an amazing story that will stick with me for quite a while.
I will never look at Peter Pan the same way.

[Helena Mitchell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great follow on from Five. There are so many twists and turns with the Lost Boys mystery. I couldn't put it down from beginning to end. The heat between Neve and Beck is slow burn but well worth it. Loved it!!

[Julia Shah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Having read Five, I could not wait for Six to be released.

Six continues on where Five finishes and goes from strength to strength. It is dark, twisty, enthralling and just downright amazing

I literally devoured this book, with the ending arriving far too soon.

Highly recommended
