Summary from Goodreads:

They said the Choosing was a gift.
They never told me I was playing a deadly game.

Four rulers. Monsters cloaked in crowns.
They’re not just powerful—they’re primal.
And now, they want me.

I wasn’t supposed to be part of the Choosing.
I forged my way in, wearing a stranger’s face, chasing whispers of my lost sister.
I planned to seduce. To manipulate. To survive.

But I didn’t plan on them.

The way they watch me like prey.
The way their magic coils around mine like a promise.
The way they say my name like they already own it.

Each man wants to break me in his own way. Take me in his own way. Together? They might unmake me entirely.

One girl. Four princes. No escape. No salvation.
Only pleasure sharp enough to cut.

Review:

The Never List by Jade Presley started with a strong premise, an intriguing search for a missing sister, but quickly veered off course. What began as a suspenseful setup turned into a steamy whirlwind where the plot took a backseat to the romance. The “Never List” concept and the mystery surrounding the main character’s parents felt underdeveloped and largely ignored. Instead, the focus shifted to the MC engaging with four different love interests in a “chosen one” dynamic that felt forced. I kept waiting for the sister storyline to resurface meaningfully, but it never delivered. Disappointing overall and I won’t be continuing the series.
