It was fun and dark and spicy, all the things you'd expect from Navessa. It just needed it to push the boundaries a little more to make it a five star.

This book is darker than the first book (Lights out), but that shouldn't be a deterrent to reading it. Just be prepared for it if you've read the first book and are expecting the same book with a different font. you will not find that here.

I loved it so much. It wasn’t as funny as the first but it was still amazing. Plus I adore how are these men obsessed with their women.

💀 Masked Stalker

5/5 🌟
5/5 🌶

Perfection. No notes. The positivity and inclusivity contrasted with the dark and morally gray setting is gripping and keeps you fully immersed the entire time.

Off the charts. Six Peppers. Between sex workers, kink clubs, and high school fantasies played out years later, there is no shortage of high spice and intense scenes.

I didn't like this as much as Lights about, partly because of how funny Josh and Aly are, partly because I adore Jacob Morgan/Zachary Webber's narration and the characterization he adds to text. 

That said, I did jump up and down at work when the library hold hit at work as I was trying to figure out how I would get through only having six hours left of audiobook time on Spotify (I listen to audiobooks all day work). I will probably give it a second (and maybe third) listen before I return it as I did like Lauren as a character and I do appreciate Teddy Hamilton's narration, as well as the narration provided by Jason June and the Josh/Aly appearances that did feel forced.
