Cyril, Isaac, Ashe, Ezra, and Arlo call themselves the Lost Boys, and they’re just one branch of a ‘family’ that rules everything in the city I grew up in. They’re the bad guys, in every sense of the word, and they don’t care who knows it.

Worse? They want to show me all of their sharp, bloody edges.

After a vacation gone wrong, the Lost Boys tell me that they’re the only reason I made it out alive. That even though I didn’t know it at the time, they saved me. It doesn’t matter that I didn’t see them do it. It doesn’t matter that I doubt these monsters are capable of anything other than taking a life.

Because their word is law, and now that they’ve saved me?

But I’m not a pushover, and I don’t need a knife to prove to them I won’t be made theirs so easily.

Owned by the Lost boys is a dark romance, RH, Peter pan inspired standalone.

I'd like to start out by saying, I did like this book. Everything flowed smoothly, it was fun, action packed, spice was fantastic, full of sword-crossing, mask play, crazy stalker, unhinged guys, plus trigger warnings, which are things I REEEALLY enjoy reading. This has been on my TBR for a while. Although, it was different from what I thought, It was still good.

Narration: I did like their voices. At times, it was a bit difficult to distinguish between the different male characters but eventually caught up. I did also picture an actor from a show I watch and giggled a bit at the "s3xy fun" scenes, especially while he was dirty talking and pr@ising. 

There were a few things that I personally would have loved to see more of.

Story: With being an RH and having five different guys in the picture, I hoped to get different POVs and an in depth look into their minds. Yes, They did tell us why they are, the way they are and some other "outside evidence " but it would have been more of an eye opener.  

Annnd Ari...

Ari did also kinda fall a little flat for me. I was a bit confused on why they were so obsessed with her. She didn’t have much of a development until the very end. I also got second hand embarrassment at times. On the flip side, I also felt that she was also kinda relatable at times too. I did eventually start to like her but I kinda hoped for more independent growth.

Overall, even with my personal opinions and mixed feelings, I really did still enjoy this book. It's one that I would read again. I kept flip flopping between a 3.5 & 4, but ended up deciding on a 4⭐
