It was so hard to review this book because there is just so much working together to make it amazing. Navessa describes it as a “dark stalker rom-com” & I think that makes the most sense.
Aly is a badass & takes zero shit from anyone. She refuses to make herself small & needs no one to save her… well, not in the traditional way at least, but a girl does have needs that can only be met by a mysterious masked man who makes thirst traps for a living (or so she thinks).
Our other character… *sigh*. I don’t even want to say anything because I want you to find out on your own, but if you don't fall in love with this man by the time you are done reading this book, there is something wrong with you. He is so complex in the best way.
Lights Out does have quite a bit of TW’s so make sure you read them; honestly, not the craziest book I’ve ever read though. I don’t want to give more away than I should, but the whole book is not just about Aly & the masked man meeting. There is a really good subplot that I was NOT expecting.
I absolutely loved this book! The writing is so smooth, flows nicely, & is easy to read. I was literally laughing out loud because these characters are hilarious. The spicy scenes are HOT & end of the book is chef’s kiss! READ IT if you love dark romance!

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.
