About this listen
From the viral TikTok author of the stalker romcom, LIGHTS OUT, comes Navessa Allen’s second book in bestselling The Into Darkness Trilogy, upping the ante with voyeurism and play club kink.
“I wanted this woman, and I was a man who always got what he wanted.”
Nico “Junior” Trocci knows Lauren Marchetti is off limits. She is sweetness and laughter, whereas Junior exists in a world of violence and depravity. Men like him don’t get to have women like her. It’s why he pushed her away back in high school and kept his distance ever since.
But when Junior looks Lauren up online, he discovers the shy, bookish girl he remembers is gone. In her place is a strikingly beautiful woman whose social media is filled with scantily clad pictures of herself and a connection to a nearby play club. Junior’s innocent curiosity quickly turns into a dark obsession. Watching Lauren from a distance isn’t enough; he needs to make her his.
“He’s ruthless; a walking red flag. Good thing red is my favorite color.”
Lauren is intrigued by the mystery man who keeps showing up at her club, who tempts her white-hot desires. But as their flirty online messages stir up a deeper form of connection, Lauren worries she’s developing real feelings for this brooding stranger. As their combined desire ratchets up to a breaking point, who will seduce who?

The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

Welcome to the Lilydale Foundation Center... home of second chances. At least, that's what they tell us it is. It's basically a glorified prison and asylum for the deranged with good alibis. When the police pulled me out of my burning home, along with what was left of my Father, I was deemed broken — even if I was the reason the fire started. So, here I am at my new home. They think they can save us with their fancy facility. But what insane person decided it was a good idea to put a bunch of young, unhinged people together?

According to the FBI, I was considered a serial murderer after three kills. What do they call me after fifty-two? They call me the Silencer. One final bullet would have been all it took to stop me from taking another soul, and I would have been doing Meridian City a service by pulling that trigger. An angel crying for help stopped me, and that night, I took three lives for her. Then three turned into eight. Then eight turned into twenty. Twenty turned into twenty-one. Twenty one turned into twenty-three.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I didn't feel the anticipation or excitement I felt for the storyline and characters that I did with lights out.
I wanted to love it but it was just okay. I didn't really enjoy the use of they/them pronouns. It's fiction and an audio book, I don't see the point.
I definitely still look forward to whatever Navessa has coming next though 🥰
I wish I loved it as much as I thought I would..

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
As for the story, this one just didn’t hit the same marks as Lights Out for me. It feels like a generic mafia romance rather than a unique follow-up to Josh and Aly’s story. I obviously wasn’t expecting Junior and Lauren to be like Josh and Aly but I was at least expecting two books in the same series to have some tonal similarities. This one just fell flat on its face from the beginning.
I was interested in the sex work aspect but the whole thing feels like someone trying to convince you they’re sex-positive rather than just BEING sex-positive. We spend more time hearing Lauren talking about sex work than actually seeing that part of her life. It all came across very performative and I was bored most of the time.
This just feels like another instance of the first book in a dark romance/comedy series being lightning in a bottle and authors chasing that for the sequel but never quite catching it.
Didn’t live up to Lights Out
