Lights Out by Navessa Allen is a dark romance that had me smirking almost the entire time I listened. I laughed, I swooned, I was grossed out, and rolled my eyes at the intentionally cheesy parts. I would’ve binged this straight through but, alas, real life kept getting in the way of that. This book is so f*cked up and I love it so much. I’m not really sure what that means on a personal level, but I’m assuming I need just as much therapy as Aly and Josh clearly need.

This audiobook is fantastic right off the bat. I love both narrators, Elena Wolfe and Jacob Morgan. Their performances are excellent. The voice inflection of both of them throughout is spot on. And he is super hot during the spicy scenes, so that’s is always a bonus. Also, THANK YOU for using both narrators throughout the book in all chapters. I hate when the girl does a dude voice during her chapters and the dude does a girl voice during his chapters, but this audiobook didn’t do this. 

Gosh, I love this one so much. The story is hot. The narrators are excellent. I know what’s happening without having read it first. I could listen to audiobooks like this every day all day. (Not sure what that says about my mental state but here we are). I found myself grinning at the most absurd things in this book. I did enjoy the first half much more than the second half, but its overall drive a five-Star listen for me. I highly recommend this to anyone who also enjoyed the Butcher & Blackbird audiobook.
