The Never Queen: Vicious Lost Boys, Book 5
The fifth book in the bestselling BookTok viral Vicious Lost Boys series, a Peter Pan-inspired enemies-to-lovers spicy romantasy where the villain gets the girl.
Will I ever truly be queen?
I’ve settled into my life on the island of Neverland with no intention of ever returning to the home I left behind. I have Peter Pan and the Lost Boys by my side. What more could I want?
But when we receive word that my mother has gone missing, I’m left with no choice. I must return to save Merry Darling.
As soon as we set foot in the mortal realm, we’re ambushed. Worse, all of our powers evaporate. Vane and I can’t access the Neverland Shadow. The twins can’t use their fae magic. And Peter Pan is not only unable to fly, but he also can’t light anyone on fire.
Pan knows right away who we’re dealing with–Witch Killers.
Without our magic, we’re forced to retreat, but are soon tracked down by the most infamous witch killer of all–Hansel.
Except he’s not here to kill us. Instead, he reveals a secret that will change my life forever. And it’s this secret that has the Witch Killers determined to hunt me down, until all the Darling women are dead.
But they’re going to have to get through four protective men first…before facing my wrath. Because I’m not going down without a fight.
The Never Queen is a reimagining of Peter Pan 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 this series. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and ‘touch her and I’ll unalive you’ vibes. The Never Queen is the final book in the main storyline for the Vicious Lost Boys Series.

Author Nikki St. Crowe when I was in a slump I started the never king without ever having doing any research or even looking into it. Completely bought and read on a whim and from the very first chapter I was like a bass on a line, hooked, lined and sinkered. The roller coaster of emotions I went through can only be best explained as one of the best experiences of my life. Every moment, every character every piece of the book I felt to my core and I felt with every page turned I was taking part in the book as a character myself. When I heard the newest addition the never queen was coming I ran, tripped, and clicked preorder as fast as I could and then immediately applied for the arc. I couldn’t wait for release. Reading the last book meeting the boys allover again for a new adventure was far better than any trip we took in the previous books. The angst, the spice, the emotional tension chefs kiss. I am deeply and so very grateful to have gotten to experience this series and the last addition. You truly are one a kind and I cannot wait for you to surprise us with more stories and adventures and men to swoon over. Until then long live the Lost boys because I for one will never forget them❤️
