Type of read: Commuter/Daily Read.

What made me pick it up: I had read 'Lights Out' and enjoyed it enough that when 'Caught Up' popped up in the available Spotify books, it seemed like a logical next choice.

Overall rating: I really enjoyed 'Caught Up.' It's definitely a slightly different vibe than 'Lights Out,' but the worlds come together and everything is cohesive. I'm glad that they aren't so similar because then it doesn't feel like you're reading the same book. I don't think it's anything spectacular, but it was absolutely perfect for what I needed in a book at this time. Easy. A bit smutty. Still some plot. Interweaves with others in the series but isn't reliant on them. Overall, a good read.

Reader's Note: Trigger warnings (from Google): graphic sexual content, mentions of past abuse (including sexual and domestic), discussions of mental health, and some scenes involving blood and gore. The book also contains themes of stalking, Catholic guilt, kink negotiation, and mafia-related violence.

This book was so freaking amazing. I absolutely absolutely ate it up and the audiobook is so good! Honestly, this book is just so horny and really fantastic. I love Nico and I love Lo. I love all the exploration And self discovery and Taylor’s is a riot. So hilarious!

If Josh is the golden retriever then Nic is the black cat. The plot of this book was quite interesting and I found that I enjoyed it a  bit more than Lights Out. Wished there was more character development from the FMC

I enjoyed the MMC in this book, and the roommates of the FMC. I did frequently find myself annoyed with the FMCs lack of communication skills and her ability to jump to conclusions immediately.
