The drama didn’t land for me, though I did enjoy some of the conflict banter, and there were a few scenes with great tension. But overall the characters fall flat. the world building was fascinating but confusing. I wanted to learn more about this city… state.. area? And the executions. Give me more details make me want to invest in the world. This just doesn’t feel like a well thought out book it’s not written well at all the plot holes are massive. The characters are mediocre at best. The hype of the book doesn’t make sense sure it’s kinda dystopian but is more just trauma after trauma with lack of explanation of the world. the characters feel pasted together as random thoughts without actual depth the story just needs a lot of editing and rewriting. It could be great it could have potential but it’s not a slow burn dystopian romance it’s a trauma bonded insta romance it just feels like a lot of cool thoughts thrown together and not flushed out. Literally wouldn’t recommend unless you want a hate read and you just don’t care about plot, world building or that you’re wasting your time

I tried to push through so I wouldn’t get shunned by my friends 😂
DNFd at 50%, wished I had listened to my gut and stopped at Chapter 2 … if I can’t figure out the actual plot 50% into it, we have a problem. It wasn’t as funny as Lights Out and then other than a second chance “romance”(?) I’m not sure what was going on. Seemed like it was just smut for the sake of smut, which, no shade if that’s your thing, it’s just not mine. Moving on… ✌🏻

did i love it? no. is dystopian still so back? yes.
this is just a personal preference, but i do not like multiple povs— it’s just not for me. i mean… SEVEN?! are we deadass? i count at least seven point of views total in the whole book. like… y’all have to admit that’s just doing way too much.
with too many povs, i start to feel like a bystander instead of actually feeling apart of story, which is not what i prefer when reading. i want to feel like i’m living the story, not standing at the glass peering in. i also feel like i cannot get close enough to the main characters when too many point of views are riddled in.
i also wanted to see more of shadera and greyson, which were the main characters and motivation in reading this. we did not get to see their relationship progress enough with all the other point of views. i was just not convinced that they could’ve possibly fallen so deeply in love so quickly.
the ending also felt too predictable. it felt sloppy, as if the author just wanted to take the easy way out.
i did still enjoy my time reading this. i liked shadera and greyson together, i just wish i could’ve had more time with them to be convinced of their relationship. it did not dive deep enough into them as it was focused on literally every single character in the mf book. i understood the plight and reasoning of the characters, however, i just did not connect with them enough.
i also enjoyed the dystopian world that the author created. it was cold and ruthless, and also hits way too close to home. it’s a dystopian world that does not seem all too far-fetched. if it was changed to first person and only included two point of views max, i think i would have enjoyed it a lot more.

I hated this. The female main character was so whiny and constantly stuck in a “woe is me” mindset. It was exhausting listening to her complain. Her profession completely defined her personality. While I appreciated that she was passionate about advocacy, it felt more like a political plot point thrown into a story with no actual plot or substance behind it.
The male lead was bland and unsettling in a way that was creepy weird, not creepy intriguing. He’s supposed to be this big macho mafia man, yet he’s out here slashing the tires of elderly church ladies? Give me a break.
The constant Catholic references were a total bore. Lately, it feels like every dark romance I read is just the author using half the book to express their disdain for a specific religion. We really need to stop letting writers get away with using religious trauma to cover up the absence of a real plot.
I gave this book a chance because the first half of Lights Out was actually enjoyable, but this was a complete disappointment. I should have DNF’d. The one star was for the roommates, even though they, too, lacked any real depth.
The big “revelation” at the end made me so mad. It did not give mafia and it certainly did not give dark. This was more like “night-light hookups” pretending to be a “dark romance”. I’m not even surprised. Proper writing clearly took a backseat here. There was no character development, no plot, no world or scene building, and the smut was mediocre at best. There was not a single redeeming quality. It goes without saying, I will not be continuing the series.
