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.

If the first half was condensed down to like 2-3 chapters it would have been a bit better. Very slow start, and not as good as Lights Out so I was a bit disappointed but the ending saved it. The moments where is was more than just Nick and Lauren were the best parts of the book. LOVE LOVE LOVE the sex and sex worker positivity!

Navessa Allen warned us it was going to be dirtier than Lights Out and she delivered. It was a smut fest lol. Junior was an intense red flagger and absolute perfection. Lauren had a lot more insecurities and faults than I really wanted. Maybe I missed most of Junior's faults because they didn't really seem like imperfections, and Lauren carried the bulk of the issues which made her feel like a more flawed character who was the main reason for any issues they had. I loved the brief drop ins from past characters. The audiobook was excellent duet narration! I absolutely loved the narrators.

I liked Lights Out but this was missing its humor and chemistry. The author's politics shine through (in a good way) and I don't think ai is involved in the audiobook or cover art. If you liked Lights Out and you are interested in reading about characters exploring
voyeurism
, check it out!
