About the author
T.S. Kinley
8 books863 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.

DNF 79% I should’ve given up after the last one.
This book makes no sense. Characters motivation? No sense. Characters action? No sense.
Honestly it’s frustrating because it COULD be good but everything is just thrown together and so poorly thought out that things in this book contradict the last and I’m actively angry I read this far.

THAT CLIFFHANGER!!! I'm screaming, I need book 3 immediately.
October 27, 2022
This is a book that you can devour, like the finest chocolate cake. I absolutely loved it. And James?? He has my heart no question. (Well, they all do really. I loved all the men in this. Thank God it's the why choose trope). I loved the development of our main character, Gwen. The pacing of the story was excellent.
The cliffhanger killed me. Killed me dead. It was mean, and I need more immediately.
Also, that cover is freaking gorgeous!!!

Part 2 by my opinion is much better than part one lots more action and spice in the book two of the series.. The FMC is showing more strength and cunning in this book which adds more intrigue an depth to the story and keeps you wanting more.. Can’t wait to get to and through book 3 in the series
The 2nd book in this series leaves on a cliffhanger so be prepared

Better than the first. I enjoyed it more when I stopped questioning things, the plot was significantly better and the cliffhanger was good enough to have me wanting to stay up and read. Gwen tho 0/5, no idea why everyone is pining over her whiny ass

Eben quoting Charlote Brönte and Shakespeare killed me

I absolutely DEVOURED this book! And what a freaking cliffhanger!!! My gosh!
James is PHEWWWWWW 🥵 Eben has such a huge piece of my heart. What an adventure.
So much pain and devotion. Gwen is so dedicated to taking care of her sister and is trying so hard to get through. Her character development is excellent and I’m so glad that we were given that! This book made me fall so much harder for ALL of these neverland men. SO MUCH HARDER. My LORD I will always want why choose from here on out.
Also- if anyone wants to relay I’m open to travel across the veil, please do! 😮💨

March 1, 2023
Omggg I can't wait. I need the third book nowwww. This series has had me by the throat. I have never finished a series so fast now im dying to know the rest!!!!
April 15, 2023
The first half of the book I was bored. As soon I got to the second half, it captured my interest and the ending has left me wanting more… I did however love the relationship between the sisters and the whole “never give up” concept which I admired.

Chef’s kiss 🤌🏻
This was exactly what I needed and wanted. Even though I knew it ended in a cliffhanger, which I still said NOoOooOoO, it was perfect. The adventure, the spice, the characters, all of it. I can’t wait for the end of June for the third release.

Wow! This book was really different from the first one!
There was a TON more plot (a little too much for my taste) and not as much silly shenanigans and goofing around which was unfortunate because that's what I loved about the first one! The smut was still 👌👌👌 but there was so much less in this one and not nearly as much tension and build up. I really enjoyed Gwen and Mic's relationship. It's one of the only sibling relationships in a book I've read that wasn't insufferable but instead really sweet and tragic and I felt for both sister's plights. Gwen became a much more interesting character which is awesome but man, overall I was kinda bummed how serious this all was and how much set up and exposition we were constantly getting. The world is still cool and I still really dig the characters so I'll continue this series. 2.5 out of 5 breastbones.

This was a buddy read, and I have to say that this is by far my favorite book in the series. While I enjoyed the novella, I was a little let down by the first book. However, this book was significantly more captivating, thrilling, action-packed, and exactly what I was hoping for from a Peter Pan retelling. It delivered the same magic I experienced in the novella, and I couldn't get enough of it! I'm so happy that I didn't give up on this series because I absolutely adored this book, and I'm eagerly anticipating the next installment.

More action and better character development. That cliff hanger? Excuse me.
April 16, 2024
This book is so much better then the first one! It has actual a nice story to read in it and not only sex, but I find it rather odd that fucking one another is the answer to everything. like.. come on you couldv'e come up with everything and you choose, yet again, for fucking.

It's going to be really hard to leave a review without spoiling it. If you loved book one then this book will make you fall in love with this series even more. It picks up right where book one ends. Pretty much everyone is heartbroken but Gwen is hurting the most. She doesn't have time to sit around and feel sorry for herself because she's still trying to help her sister. I admire Gwen's devotion to her. She never expected to be going back to Neverland after the way things ended there but it could be the answer she's been looking for. I loved that she gets to reunite with the boys she gave her heart too. Is things easy? Hell no. Everything is a mess and as they attempt to fix it, it only gets more messy. I'm in love with this series and I'll warn you book two ends on a cliffhanger but I have complete faith that the author will make up for it in the next book. If you've read book one you definitely want to read this asap. If your looking for a Peter Pan retelling then this is the series for you, just be sure to read book one first.

The character progression is to die for. I swear, I was going to scream if Gwen didn’t start looking out for herself and not relying on these men. FINALLY. James is still my favorite, even though he probably shouldn’t be. His protectiveness stems from his possessiveness, but I love that he still gives Gwen a choice and empowers her. That’s definitely more than the lost boys. The lost boys may have her best interest at heart, but we’ve seen just because someone has been horrible in the past, doesn’t mean the right woman can’t bring the best out in them. Tiger Lily and Peter had me screaming. The action was non-stop, and the cliffhanger gave me new life. I don’t want to wait!

This unfinished series has gotten me completely hooked on Peter Pan retellings.
The Neverland Chronicles are a spicy, why choose fantasy that has so many of the tropes us readers just love including touch her and die and who did this to you.
Gwen’s storyline and character growth really took off in the second book and the cliffhanger left me GAGGING! I need more👏🏻
Eben and James have my fucking heart, and I’m really hoping we get a certain scene in the next book if you’re catching my drift….
All that being said, I can’t wait for the third book to come out!

It's clear that with every new book, the plot thickens and I'm here for it! I'm in love with this Peter Pan and his Lost Boys. If you don't count the whole shitshow they find themselves in, Gwen is actually living my dream.
I'm in desperate need of the next book and I'm really happy to have seen that it will come out the 23rd of this month. I'll be waiting, and I will get my hands on a copy as soon as I am able.
I need to know how it continues because I can't handle this cliffhanger!

Loved book one and this one was just as good. A little darker than book one but very exciting. I look forward to book three. Be warned it ends in a hell of a cliffhanger. But I have a feeling it will all be worth it when the end finally comes

Straight on till Morning (Book 2, 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 is back home and her sister Mic, is nearly on death’s doorstep. Gwen is racked with guilt and betrayal, struggling to comprehend why Peter and her Lost Boys would do to her what they did.
Yet she is here now with Mic trying against all hopes to find a cure and get her better. However, each day she is turning into a person she doesn’t recognise anymore, haunted by her time in Neverland.
One day a strange thing occurs, and it may seem the cure for Mic lies in the place Gwen never thought she would return – Neverland. Now both sisters must retrace their parents' last fateful steps to find their way back to Neverland in the hopes a cure is there.
Gwen must learn to push past the betrayal she has suffered and trust those willing to help her and her sister. Time will if Neverland can really help both sisters find who they truly are.
“Straight on till Morning” is the thrilling second instalment in The Neverland Chronicles series. Initially there is not much spice until the sisters find their way back to neverland and then bam – spice! Eben and Captain Hook remain my favourites out of all the Lost Boys and Peter Pan. I seriously do not get why Gwen likes Peter Pan. He still seems very needy and childish at times. The ending was absolutely thrilling, and I cannot wait to see what book three has in store for us!

Usually the 2nd book is no where near as good as the first, well that is surely not the case with this series! I loved the plot in this book. The spice was not as frequent as the first book but it did pick up about 3/4 into it. The first half was a lot of plot which I enjoyed. Like the first book this did end on a cliffhanger and I will be starting the 3rd book first thing tomorrow!!
SPOILERS:
Gwen and Mic discover that faire dust helps heal here cancer (which they later discover is actually a tribulation period to her magic abilities.)
Mic does not have long to live so they plan to venture to Neverland in hopes of healing Mic’s cancer. Only thing is they have to figure out how to get back from the human world. While working on a plan they discover information about their family history and the story behind their parent’s death.
Tiger Lilly uses magic to possess Peter Pan. Gwen, the Lost Boys, and the beasts form a plan to rescue Pan however, at the last moment while Gwen is about to kill off Tiger Lilly, the possessed Peter pulls her back with a chain around her neck. (Cliffhanger)

This book has me in such a chokehold and I kinda like it! 🥵
I hate that it leaves off in a cliffhanger because now I’m stressed and just need to know what happens with Gwen, Peter and the Lost Boys!! I could not put this down and can’t recommend it enough!!
You never know what villains will turn into someone that you like until you read them in a romance book😂 Hook has a lot more depth to him then people realize and Gwen brings that out of him and I hope that their relationship blossoms more and the others get to see what he is truly like! As far as the Lost Boys I will forever hold them dear and they will always be my first choice buttttt that’s just me! 😂
I can’t choose between the Boys they are all what Gwen needs in her life and who could complain with have four gorgeous men falling for you at once? They all bring different things to the table and let me tell you, the table is big!! 😂🫣
Neverland is in for a hell of a wake up call once Gwen gets all her boys and her sister back!

This series is for sure a must read and worth every second spent reading the pages of these books!
So much has happened in so little time.
Neverland is no longer what it once was.
Everything seems to be spiraling downhill from left and right.
These cliffhangers are going to be THE death of me!
Start reading you can thank me later.
"True connections of real worth can be difficult to obtain and even harder to hold on to.
However, that’s what makes them so valuable."

Oh yea this one was way better than the first. I think it’s because the storyline made more sense and had more substance. Not that I don’t love a good bit of spice but I appreciated what was going on with Gwen and her sister more. I also liked that there was t a terrible amount of “woe is me, I’ll never be loved like I was with them” nonsense because she really did only know them for a few days.
Without spoilers, I’m definitely rooting for this to go a certain way but we will see what Kinley has planned for book 3!

3,5 ⭐️
Alguns momentos foram menos entusiasmantes (mas necessários para o enredo). Diria que 65% da história fez com que fosse difícil parar de ler.
Aprofundou a nova visão deste mundo, com muita ação, desafios, reviravoltas, mistério e - não acredito que escrevo isto mas - mais spicy (sim, aceitei só isto) 🫣
