The Never King by Nikki St. Crowe
3.0

The Never King by Nikki St. Crowe 

This is a fairly short high spice retelling of Peter Pan and Wendy in Neverland with the added twist of being a Reverse Harem with some of the Lost Boys. 

Now, I am a pretty big fan of Reverse Harems in general.  However, this particular book sits in the same limbo as Den of Vipers for me.  The plot was just not quite up to snuff. Although I love the sub-genre, I am still a plot over spice girlie.  The book was spicy off the bat, and some of the motivations or lead-up felt surface level at best.  

That being said; the way book one ends opens book two up for a more original story rather than being backed into the corner of a re-telling. 

I am going to sit on this one for a while before I decide if I will continue on to book two. 

This was still a pretty fun read, and super quick to get through.  I know there are others who prefer a higher spice level and type, so this one would be perfect for that.
