“I don’t need another kink.”
That thought pops into my head whenever I pull up my favorite social media app, but alas, every time I scroll, I learn something new about myself, and another one is born. And yes, I know I’m responsible for what the algorithm shows me, but I’m trying to ignore that fact.
Lately, my feed has been dominated by masked men. I’ve favorited videos with them dressed in full cosplay, decked out in futuristic military apparel, and wrapped up like ghouls.
But more than anything else, my FYP is filled with shirtless men wearing ghost masks. Bonus points if they’re heavily tattooed, wielding a knife, or covered in fake blood. At night, I dream about being chased by them, of them catching me and doing deliciously dark things to my more than willing body.
I never could have guessed that by sending one drunken text, those dreams would become my new reality.
Lights Out is a fast-paced dark romance with a morally grey male lead. Some themes and scenes may be disturbing to readers. Please check the TWs at the beginning of the book.
Review by Twinsie Angie
I purchased this audiobook.
When I saw this book on TikTok I ran to download especially after I heard a few of the audio clips. It was a dark romance with humor. Consider me sold. I will say the audio was *Chefs kiss* divine. I absolutely loved how each narrator brought the characters to life for me.
Now the story, I admit I was wanting a little bit “more” dark but it was a good starter dark for new readers. With that said, for sure check trigger warnings because the knife scene was WOWZERS!!!
Aly, she was an ok heroine. I liked her well enough but cant say I loved her character. She seems all over the place at times. Josh/Ghostface I liked well enough but some of the dialogue he said was a bit cheesy …Hello Boobs?
I enjoyed the story and how they met and I kinda saw the connection to them before it was outted . I felt like the story kinda drug on at times. It felt like here is some drama and its resolved now here is more drama and its resolved and here is more drama……
All in all will I read book 2, more then likely no. I felt I had trouble staying invested in this story and kept putting it down to read something else before I went back to it.
