Wow where do I even begin?! This was hilarious and hot and dark. The audio was absolutely phenomenal. I think this may be one of my favorite reads of the year! Definitely check your trigger warnings at the start of the book but wow I loved this!!! Yes this isn’t like SUPER dark but it is a darkish romance. Josh may be one of my favorite mmc’s ever! I loved every single second of this and can’t wait to read more by this author!!

Overall rating is 3.25 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The audiobook narration was good, and probably one of the few reasons I continued with the book, instead of DNF-ing it before the midway point of the storyline. There was an interesting addition to the book midway through that mixed things up, but then the story started dragging. It definitely could’ve been 100-150 pages shorter and been fine. The humor wasn’t my favorite, it was unfortunately more cringe than anything most of the time. There were a few moments where I giggled though, so not awful but also not incredible.

Dear Navessa Allen: I need 17 more of these ASAP. The banter is on point. The plot is engaging. The details are lined up like the proverbial ducks. AND THE SPICE!!! 🥵 This book deserves six stars, but alas, I can only give five. If you liked Butcher & Blackbird, you’ll have a good time reading this.

Run and grab this, you won’t regret. Spicy, strong engaging characters that you just can’t help falling for. Nothing beats a plausible, well thought out and plausible plots to draw you in. Well done, I need more!

Lights Out is hot, dark, campy deliciousness and it dragged me out of a raging book slump. A masked hero with a secret who gets ✨in touch✨ with himself while streaming, but is also a little unhinged, but is also a golden retriever underneath the mask. A heroine who has seen some of the most devastating things in life and as a trauma nurse, so she’s a little more open minded to the unhinged. I don’t know it just worked for me. It was hot. It was funny. It was a little suspenseful. Just overall entertaining. I will say the end started to lull a little bit for me because I was waiting for something else to happen as I saw this is a series, but I’m imagining it must be standalone of some sort. Anyway. I highly recommend if you like murder-y vibes, but hilarious and spicy. Also I listened to the audiobook and the voice actors KILLED this story. I think I would have enjoyed reading it with my eyeballs as well, but the dry dark humor hit so much harder from the actors. I swear I was cackling at some points because of the comedic timing of the author’s writing and the delivery of it from the actors was SPOT ON. PLEASE heed the trigger warning list that’s read at the start of the audio/in the book.

I’ve had the worst week. It turns out that Bacterial Pneumonia and Covid are not a winning combination when you already have heart disease, but this book made it so I had something to look forward to. It was funny, relatable, and definitely spicy enough. Plus, I was reading it while being looked after by some of the best trauma nurses Louisiana has to offer! I got to hear about their experiences and compare to the books, and I never thought about having to play nice with a rapist because of my job. It turns out that happens a lot, so I gained a bunch more respect for some of the greatest people our society has to offer. I know Amanda added me on here, so if you’re reading this thank you for sneaking me ice chips and ginger ale. I promise I’ll send you flowers when I feel up to it💞

Aly is an ER nurse with a non existent love life and a need for release which is currently fueled by fantasies of a masked vlogger, who just happens to be her ex hook up’s best friend and roommate Josh in real life. She had no idea, but after an exhaustive shift at work, and a few glasses of wine, she texts her ex requesting a roll play roll in the hay. Her ex turns her down, as he’s already moved on and has a new girlfriend, but not before he shows the text to Josh. That unleashes a whole new obsession and adventure for both Josh and Aly. This was an addictive book experience filled with excitement, romance, spice, great banter, edge of your seat spine tingling twists that keep you awake way beyond your bedtime for the sake of needing to know how it all ends. Definitely worth it!
