THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the author of TikTok's favourite dark and steamy romance, Lights Out, comes Navessa Allen's second book in the New York Times bestselling Into Darkness trilogy
I want this woman, and I'm a man who always gets what he wants.

Nico 'Junior' Trocci knows Lauren Marchetti is off limits. Men like him don't get to have women like her. It's why he pushed her away in high school and still keeps his distance. But Junior follows Lauren online, and now that the shy, bookish girl he remembers is gone, he can't stop obsessing over the strikingly beautiful woman who has taken her place.

He's ruthless; a walking red flag. Good thing red is my favorite color.

Lauren 'Lo' Marchetti knows Junior is dangerous. He broke her heart once and she won't let him do it again. But as their flirtatious encounters escalate, Lauren starts to remember why she fell for the brooding antihero all those years ago.

As old obstacles resurface, Junior and Lauren are forced to face their true feelings for each other and decide just how far they're willing to go for a second chance at love.

Critic reviews

Everything a dark romance reader wants - a masked man, epic spice, hilarious banter, and a clingy cat named Fred

Lights Out is a sexy, laugh-out-loud read perfect for those of us with morbid sensibilities. Aly and Josh are just the right amount of unhinged to keep you turning the page. A five-star read

Funny and filthy . . . the dark rom-com of BookTok's dreams

Twisted, sexy, and fun, it's the perfect read for those looking to dip their toes into the darker side of romance

Great story

I absolutely lovevthis series. I haven't laughed so much reading in a long time. really looking forward to reading the next book.

Ok made better with great narrators

The story felt more forced vs Lights Out but well done to the good narrators who helped keep momentum and interest. Spice level is high on this one

Hot stiff

I loved this, Navessa is great. This book is funny and hot. this story is awesome. Cannot wait for the next one.

You can’t get it wrong with Teddy Hamilton

I absolutely loved this story and the narration was amazing as always with such talented voice actors as Teddy and Kasi. I enjoyed knowing a bit more about Allie and Josh.

It was okay

The narration was great, but the story was severely lacking. 10 hours of them lusting over each other and then 2 chapters of something actually happening, but by that point I was so done with it that I had it on 1.8x speed.
