Lights Out by Navessa Allen
5.0

Duuuude… if he wanted to he would! This was sooooo friggin' good. I audibly laughed (many times), kicked my feet, and was so into this banter. SLAY. I read somewhere some people were comparing this to Butcher and Blackbird, or Haunting Adeline... No... This book stands on its own in the dark romance sector. These characters had depth with their traumas and had a realistic vantage point of how people process some of these things, like hiding away from people, or overworking as a distraction, and the way we consume shit on the internet for pleasure or to escape is a horror all on its own. Not that this was a horror story, it was an absolute gem of a dark romance romcom that will forever live rent free in my own twisted traumatized mind. Also theres Fred. I just love an adorkable animal sidekick.
