Lights Out by Navessa Allen—Book Review

Book: Lights Out by Navessa Allen


Stars: 🌟 🌟 🌟.75/5


Review: I think the hype over booktok made me expect much. I went in expecting a blast but didn’t get one. That’s my personal view point. 


It’s a good book. Funny Banter. Witty writing. Also, implores deep understanding of human character. As in why one turns out to be how they are. I really liked the spice part. 

I mean your maskman kink coming to live is something all dark romance girlies think of. 


But at some point, it just got about it. 


 

The plot fell short. I mean ya there was whole Brad thing. But it was rushed. I didn’t get much of an adrenaline rush which is expected from a dark stalker 

romance. 


But then it is supposed to be rom com not actual dark romance so if you take that into account, it delivered enough. 


A good read overall.


Things I liked:


-Josh’s personality. The dark romance usually has mmc who is invincible. However, author’s different take here was much appreciated. She made him a golden retriever energy interlaced with darkness. Vulnerable and human which I loved. The dialogues🤩


-The smut was wow. the shower scene. the punishment. okay. It had me gasping for air. The knife play was quite well written but I felt there was space for improvement in that particular scene.


-Aly’s take on vigilante. That kind of female energy is needed in the real world. I mean, you go, girl🔥


-The deeper understanding of human psyche. The familial bindings. There were short, tight sentences about these topics in the book and but damn, they were substantial.


-I kind of hoped Tyler would get a sequel. He’s kind of mysterious but in a much darker way. 





Things I didn’t like:


-The plot. I think there was scope of some additions in the plot. In the middle, it just started seeming about two people exploring their fantasies. Which I’ve no problem with. But some tension, angst, plot twists. I’m a sucker for them.


Excited for Caught up.

Bound to Him—Chapter One[Vaughn&Natasha]

  BOUND TO HIM Natasha A part of me always knew I was meant to be imprisoned, maybe even killed, in the name of my father’s treacherous deeds. What I didn’t know was that it would be by his hands. Vaughn. The name I had been dreaming about for the past month. The name I had been falling for. And the name that shattered my reality just a week ago. I had gone home after five years for a short visit—to see Dante, my childhood friend, my protector, my only constant. Our fathers built an empire together, ruling the underworld of Malaysia, and yet Dante was nothing like mine. He had the cruelty of a firstborn mafia heir, but he wielded his power with precision, never blind rage. He avoided violence when he could—but that didn’t mean he wasn’t capable of it. I had seen him burn a man alive when I was nineteen. He was twenty-three. Dante had always been built for this dynasty—broad shoulders, a body inked with the symbol of our families, and jet-black eyes that carried the weight of a futu...

  Hey all Dark Romance girlies,  we know how much we love it when he says “You’re mine.” If you are one of us, read ahead and drop your honest, brutal reviews. I am open to anything. Constructive Criticism. PROLOGUE VAUGHN Two months. Sixty fucking days since I infiltrated Natasha Solovey’s circle and wrapped it around my finger. I am Vaughn Volkov, Pakhan of the Bratva, and she—Natasha—is the daughter of my enemy.  The Queen of my revenge. Her name was a secret, buried under layers of security and false identities. It took full reach of my networks just to confirm her existence. Even then, all I had was a name and a location—King’s College. My neighbour college. Her being in the same city as me, barely a mile apart, was a godsend…  if I believed in such things. But I don’t. I believe in  power .  Absolute, unquestionable, insatiable power.   And she is the key to it. The fact that my closest men—Ivan and Andrei—fell for women in her social circle made...

Chapter two to five—My Dark Romance Novel[Vaughn&Natasha]

Before you start reading, I want to thank y’all for supporting me. Following the blog and leaving behind comments. I loved reading your views. CHAPTER 2 NATASHA The sting of the restraints has my eyes snapping open. Darkness. A void stretches around me, thick and suffocating. For a moment, I register nothing—just the press of fabric against my skin and the tight pull of something binding my wrists. Silk ties, I remember. Then, a shift. A presence. My breath stutters as my eyes adjust, pulling shapes from the gloom. A shadowed figure stands near, tall and unyielding. The outline of a man. A scream rips from my throat. The figure moves. A soft click echoes. Light spills from a lamp, casting golden illumination over the room. And then I see him. Vaughn Volkov. The man I once believed in. The man I hate now. He’s watching me. Silent. Lethal. Bare-chested, clad only in grey sweatpants that sit low on his hips, revealing the ridges of his abdomen. But it’s his eyes that freeze me. Green—deep...
