About this listen

MEET BOOKTOK'S LATEST OBSESSION . . . DARK, FUNNY AND SUPER SPICY, CAN YOU HANDLE THE RIDE?

I want 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.

Trauma nurse Aly escapes her hard-working days by thirsting after masked men online. To her, nothing could top the fantasy of her favorite tattooed and masked man hunting her down. But she never could have guessed that one drunken text would turn those dreams into reality . . .

I want things most people don't, craving darkness and depravity instead of light and love.

Josh has spent his life avoiding the limelight, but his online persona is another story. At night, he posts masked thirst traps for his millions of fans, until one follower catches his eye: Aly.

Together, Aly and Josh live out their darkest fantasies, unaware that Aly has captured the attention of someone with far more sinister intentions. As Josh turns from predator to protector, he must ask himself how far he'll go for the woman he can't live without.

Lights Out is a fast-paced dark romance with a morally grey male lead. Some themes and scenes may be disturbing to listeners. Please check the content warning at the beginning of the book.

Lights Out, New York Times bestseller, November 2024.

Phenomenal!

I wasn’t sure about buying this audio book as stalker stuff isn’t usually my scene and I was concerned I would find Home Invasion triggering. However I’m so pleased I took the plunge because this book is phenomenal!

Ally, a trauma nurse, has her own history. Shes somewhat jaded by life, her hook-ups and her job, but seems to find pleasure in a social media site involving a man in a mask playing up his darkness to the camera. Josh, hacker, lives in the grey, has a horrendous backstory, has been in therapy for years and is concerned he’s like his father, has stalker tendencies and he is also the Faceless Man Ally is obsessed with. She wants to be chased down, he’s happy to oblige! What could possibly go wrong.

Circumstances bring them together in more of a “meet creepy” than “meet cute” and their relationship goes from there.

Yes this is a dark romance, but it’s also extremely funny. Josh is cute despite his obvious flaws, he’s caring and loving, and yes more than likely a sociopath, but a very appealing one. Ally is strong and independent, has a darker side and is probably also a sociopath, and their various kinks seem to suit each other. All seems to be going in the right direction, to the point where I’m thinking “there is almost half of this book to go, so where is it going to go?” and then things take a surprising turn!

It’s a really well crafted story, both characters are likeable, and it’s very funny, spice is off the charts. There are some potentially triggering things, but the humour somehow makes them less onerous. There is also a cat, who is also sociopathic, and very cute, and who doesn’t love a cat?

The narration is outstanding. Two of the best in the business plus it’s in duet; all narration should be in duet. Jacob Morgan is superb. He is so good at snark, and humour, and vulnerability. Elena Wolfe is excellent at humour, her timing is impeccable. Wish all audio books were narrated by these two.

Don’t be put off by the warnings (unless you are super sensitive) as the humour in this book lifts it out of the dark.

More than worth a credit.

Lights out

Funny, hot and an amazing story I love the male character and how soft and and thoughtful he is I also love how strong the female lead is and how her personality is quick and funny would honestly recommend, it’s a good dark romance book if you are just starting out and a good one even if this isn’t your first!!

Dual narrator brings this to life

Check trigger warnings! Explicit, twisted but sweetly so. Narrators were brilliant and story was eye opening to an unknown kink!
