Description

“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 standalone 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.

Plot Teaser

I closed this book at two in the morning and my living room felt too bright. Here is the spoiler free low-down in case you are thinking about picking up Lights Out by Navessa Allen.

Aly Cappellucci works trauma shifts that leave her wrung out, so she unwinds by watching a masked fitness influencer who knows exactly where to point the camera. One late night she hits send on a cheeky DM. The next thing she knows, the man from the screen is standing in her bedroom, tattoos and all, very real and very willing to make fantasies come true.

Josh Hammond spends his daylight hours hiding from the fame his masked persona has earned. The moment he steps inside Aly’s house the air crackles. Their chemistry is raw and immediate, yet it is clear he is carrying secrets bigger than his muscles. As Aly and Josh blur the line between thrill and fear, a silent observer hovers nearby, driven by a hunger that feels more like possession than play.

I will stop there to keep the surprises intact; just be ready for a brisk pace, murky ethics, and heat that borders on feral. Expect a quick tempo, morally murky choices, and heat levels that edge into feral territory. The book does lean into darker themes, so do yourself a favor and read the trigger warnings in front.

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.

Navessa Allen, Lights Out
