Oh honey. Lights Out is everything.

Masked men? Check.
Stalker-level obsession? Check.
Banter so sharp it’ll trim your bush and still have time to sip your wine? DOUBLE CHECK.

I think my sense of humour is officially broken because I legit spent the entire book smiling like a maniac and swinging my legs in glee.

This book is hotter than the devil’s ball sack in the middle of a Brisbane summer and I. Just. Could. Not. Get. Enough. Every trope you secretly love (and maybe slightly fear) is served with a side of chaos and a generous sprinkle of “oh hell yes.”

Moral of the story: read it, fangirl hard, and thank the universe for authors like Navessa Allen. 🔥💀

⭐️: 5/5
🌶️: 4/5

This book is completely unhinged in the best possible way. It’s the very definition of a stalker romance, and Navessa Allen leans into that chaos perfectly. Ally and Josh are such lovable characters, and their chemistry makes the story impossible to put down. The banter between them adds just the right touch of comedy, balancing out the darker themes and making the romance even more addictive.

I found the isntalove to be a bit much and just found towards the end both characters kind of annoyed me. I didn’t want a super dark romance and heard it was a pretty good mild one but just didn’t really love it. I don’t know if I’ll pick up the second book.
