First of all, thank you so much to the author, Navessa Allen and BookFunnel for the ARC!

This book was amazing! I couldn't put it down the moment I started reading it. My expectations were blown away and I was pleasantly surprised with each chapter. A badass FMC was absolutely one of my favorite parts about this book. The MC was also amazing and utterly charming, even more so the more we learn about him. The characters were amazingly written and I love the witty banter that happened throughout. It was so refreshing to read and flowed nicely. Not to mention the complexity of both characters and how well researched and written a lot of things were. 

I can't wait to read more from the author. My dark romance expectations have definitely been set high.

Not for the faint of heart but, ooohhh boy are the "spicy" scenes hot. The author gives you two page of warnings before you read the book and it contains 27 items.

ARC Review:

I really enjoyed Lights Out! The banter and natural chemistry between the FMC and MMC was amazing and the detailed sex scenes were 🥵. I also really enjoyed that the author didn’t focus solely on the spicy part of the relationship but also took time to highlight the emotional and mental parts of relationships. I will say it’s a pretty fast paced book and there wasn’t really any gaps/time in between each plot point; new things just continued to happen back to back. It could get slightly confusing/annoying/overwhelming at times. However, all in all it was an amazing read and a great way to start getting into the stalking genre!
