I liked the first book better.  I don't like the toxic aggressive alpha man vibe.  Josh in the first book was possessive but he wasn't toxic about it.  I like all of the other main characters but Nick forcing Lauren in the beginning against the wall and not getting consent is a big no from me.  Moira and Nona are the best though long live the ladies.

“Learn from my mistakes. Be a slut while you still can.” 

Going through this book thinking it would be like Lights Out was a mistake but I still did enjoy this - enough to have finished it within the day! Ironically, it was my Audible email that reminded me that this book is finally out so yes, I did it read it as soon as I saw that email. It just shows how excited I was to read this knowing that I pre-ordered this one back in December (half a year before the book came out).

I enjoyed it enough that there would be bits and pieces of the books that I would remember in the long run - exhibitionist, for example, since I've learned so much about this through this book. The mafia part of this book for me was a meh. Overall, it's a good book to remind me why I loved Lights Out (lol)
