“I didn’t want him morally grey. I wanted someone with a soul as black as night. Someone who would burn the world down for me and not lose a single minute of sleep over it.” – 4/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: morally grey heroes, social media, security cameras, trauma nurses, cute cats, masks, knives, fake blood, and a lot of stalking.

“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.

A very interesting taboo romance!
Yup, TikTok made me read it… and I’m surprised to say that I enjoyed it very much. I’m usually not very into social media-themed books, but I didn’t mind that aspect in the book that much because the romance and plot made it great.
I really liked the dark romance and the dynamics between the 2 main characters. There was so much tension mixed with curiosity! I liked their banter and chemistry, and how safe he made her feel at all times.
The writing was engaging, and it was hard to put the book down from the very start. The only reason why I didn’t rate this higher was because of the last 1/3 of the book. The plot gets a little too crazy for my taste (and not in a good way).
It was definitely a very interesting and unique book to binge on! I know the next book in the series has been out since June, so I think I’ll pick it up soon.
