Caught Up (Into Darkness Series)
#1 New York Times Bestseller. Dark Romcom Sensation. Over 5 million copies sold.
Book two in the #1 New York Times bestselling Into Darkness Series, following the viral BookTok novel, Lights Out. Navessa Allen ups the ante with voyeurism and a play club kink.
I wanted this woman, and I was a man who always got what he wanted.
Nico “Junior” Trocci knows Lauren Marchetti is off limits. She is sweetness and laughter, whereas Junior exists in a world of violence and depravity. Men like him don’t get to have women like her. It’s why he pushed her away back in high school and kept his distance ever since.
But when Junior looks Lauren up online, he discovers the shy, bookish girl he remembers is gone. In her place is a strikingly beautiful woman whose social media is filled with scantily clad pictures of herself and a connection to a nearby play club. Junior’s innocent curiosity quickly turns into a dark obsession. Watching Lauren from a distance isn’t enough; he needs to make her his.
He’s ruthless; a walking red flag. Good thing red is my favorite color.
Lauren is intrigued by the mystery man who keeps showing up at her club, who tempts her white-hot desires. But as their flirty online messages stir up a deeper form of connection, Lauren worries she’s developing real feelings for this brooding stranger. As their combined desire ratchets up to a breaking point, who will seduce who?

I am amazed that I could like this one as much as the 1st one (Lights Out). It's not often you see an author use different POVs so well and still slide in old characters smoothly. There is no doubt that book one is in the same world and town as the last book, even with new main characters. Love that we get to see the main characters from the 1st book and get an update on their lives, and not just a peek. They pop up several times...woven in nicely.
I have no regrets with this read, and I can't wait to grab the physical copy for my library 🥰😈. This is not for children! Definitely for my SMUT LOVERS! Looking for a morally grey bad ass to protect your heart and give you the space to be unapologetically you....JUNIOR is your guy!!! Didn't think I could love another after JOSH. I was soooo wrong! Parts had me giggling like crazy while washing the dishes and had my husband looking like I was crazy 😅

If book one hooked you, this is where the claws really come out. The stakes ratchet up in every direction. Emotionally, physically, dangerously — and Aly and her masked obsession are put through the wringer in ways I did not see coming. What I love most is that the humor never disappears even as things get genuinely white-knuckle; Navessa Allen has this gift of making you laugh right before gut-punching you with tension.
This is a middle book that actually earns its place instead of just treading water before the finale. The relationship deepens in real, messy, complicated ways, and the mystery surrounding the danger closing in on them kept me flipping pages way past when I should've gone to sleep. A stellar continuation that never lets the momentum drop.
