Lights Out by Navessa Allen

Emoji Review by Rebecca Dixon

I read ‘Lights Out: An Intro Darkness Novel,’ by Navessa Allen… and it’s not often I say this, but I just have to say… FOR THE RECORD… I think this is the NEXT major Dark Stalker Romance hit 🤯! It’s ABSOLUTE PERFECTION 😍! (FYI, this is an unbiased, genuine recommendation of a book I loved and there are NO spoilers! 🙌🏻)

Guyyys… I CANNOT emphasize❗️how incredible this book is! Like… I think this is going to be another Butcher & Blackbird, type GOOD 😲. So basically, that just means a HUGE🫸🏻 🫷🏻 hit that is going to propel 🤾🏻‍♀️ this author to pretty big fandom 🤩. I mean, I could be wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️ … but I just got a feeling 🫶🏻 about this one peeps!

So FIRST 👆🏻! I want to say… this is NOT Butcher & Blackbird 😄. This is a TOTALLY different plotline and it isn’t serial killers trying to do one better over the other 🤗. But! This has similar vibes with the humor and dark romance!

This is technically a M/F Dark STALKER 🔪 Romance, but our guy is NOT a stalker like any I’ve ever read before 😲! I’m not gonna lie 🤐… I had to have a little looksie-loo on a certain social media app (the kind where you scroll through videos and also rhymes with flip flop 🩴😅!)… so ummmm, while reading this book… I was like…

IS.

THIS.

A.

REAL.

THING?!!!

Like, can you REALLY find a guy out there in REAL LIFE that is like our MMC 🤔?

And let me tell ya, why YES! Yes, you can!! 🫨😲🤯 (Ummm like, there is ACTUALLY someone with half a million followers in REAL-LIFE doing what our MMC is doing 😳!)

I was MIND BLOWN! 🤯

(Errr.. this is one of those times my 20 something-or-other book besties will tell me… “um, Rebecca… why the heck did you write that in a review… EVERYONE knows that!” Well, my young padawans… NO… nope! Everyone DOES NOT🚫 KNOW THAT 😆! This 40 something – going on 28 😜- … absolutely had NO SCOOBY DOO 👻 this was an actual REAL thing! 😆😅 )

Are you intrigued yet 😅?! Yes? Ok ✅! So what is the story about!

So it starts off with a very like-able 😍, intelligent 🧠 , and reasonable nurse 👩‍⚕️ FMC that somehow- because of her overall responsibleness and basically, normal & caregiving healthcare worker nature- TOTALLY sucks 🌪️ us into her journey to the DARK SIDE 😱. It’s like… it becomes TOTALLY understandable that she’s being absolutely crazy pants … since we were with her every step 🦶🏻of the way while she was seduced by the stalker! Seriously, so genius 💡 of the author, to be fair!

Alright 👍🏻 , so the FMC makes some choices that even SHE realizes are absolutely DANGEROUS 🩸! But 🤚🏻! She can’t help herself! It’s this dang MMC, man. He’s HOT 🥵 AS HELL and would make any red blooded woman QUESTION why all of a sudden having a stranger 😱 in her house is such a freaking TURN ON (ok, ok definitely some Haunting Adeline vibes here too, folks 🙌🏻!)

So if you loved Haunting Adeline by HD Carlton, Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver, or even Pretty Monster by Sheridan Anne… this book is totally for you! It’s completely unique, expertly written, has FANTASTIC character development… and the magic factor that I always look for… is UTTERLY page-turning! 👏🏻👏🏻

I cannot recommend this enough! 🙌🏻

If you are a KU reader and are hesitant to just buy the book based on this rec, just do what I did… download the sample and give it a shot! Disclaimer ⚠️ though: if you download the sample for FREE, your gonna end up doing do what I did… and immediately by the book 😆!

So if you love a DARK STALKER 🔪 romance that has a UNIQUE & MODERN plotline and is SEXY AS HELL 🔥 … give this a shot! It’s NOT free on KU, but I didn’t care one bit!

It was worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY to FALL into the darkness with Lights Out!
