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 this more than the last book. It was freakier than the last book, and it was more intense. I liked the mafia and Italian ties, and it was nice to see parents in therapy.

I really liked this book. It’s different characters, different tropes - a second chance romance, different kinks (also the FMC Lo didn’t like the stalking in this book whereas it was a fun kink in the first book), but the vibe - especially the ending was so different from the first book. I enjoyed the humor from the friends but since the first book’s humor came from the MMC I think the second book just needed a little more. I love the sex positivity, loved the church scene (iykyk), I wish there was more impact in the ending because the first half was so good. I loved the audio narrators! Also Lo frustrated me in chapter 29 and I was upset what she blamed Nic for.

WHAT WAS THAT ENDING?!
Loved the twist with Tyler and can't wait to hear how tf he ended up where he did by the end of the book...interested to see where things go in the third and last book of the trilogy.

I need the last book right now, Navessa!

This is painful for me to say... but I just wasn't obsessed with this 🙈

Going into this one, I knew it was going to be different than Lights Out, Navessa was very vocal about that the entire time. However, the major difference between this and Lights Out is that this was so much spicier and I feel like it came at a detriment to the couple. 

I'm the type of reader who thrives off of an emotional connection; I need to feel the love oozing off the page and I just didn't get that. Junior, yes, he was a man down bad and I wholeheartedly believe he loves Lauren and has for a very long time. Him keeping the journal, keeping tabs on her, and waiting for the right moment to get her back... it was peak boy obsessed. Whereas Lauren's story revolved almost entirely around sex work and introducing Junior to kink. I still don't feel like we understand what made her fall for Junior outside of the physical attraction she felt towards him. 

I will say, I loved the roommates and all the Josh & Aly cameos, as well as how respectfully sex work was depicted throughout but overall I just wasn't blown away. It's a fun, spicy listen and there's enough of a tease to get you excited about book three but Lights Out still reigns supreme.

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.
