Caught Up: Into Darkness Trilogy (Into Darkness Series)

Book Two in the #1 New York Times and instant USA TODAY bestselling trilogy!

From the viral TikTok author of the stalker romcom, Lights Out, comes Navessa Allen's second book in bestselling The Into Darkness Trilogy, upping the ante with voyeurism and 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 actually liked that this was different than the first. More serious. Really enjoyed the sex worker aspect and some of the difficulties they face. And I really loved the sex club. I wish there were more clubs that were high class and sophisticated like this one was. And Nick was Dark, but protective. Can't wait for the next one

Not nearly as entertaining as Lights Out, but still enjoyable.

I knew what to expect going into this, but it was pretty darn raunchy. An enemy to lovers sex worker (OnlyFans, not hooker) and son of a mobster. The trigger warnings made the book sound cooler than it actually was, but it ended up just being a lot of voyeur sex and the word kink a hundred times. Book #53 in 2025

I loved that the FMC was more open minded and knowledgeable than the MC

I really wanted to love this since I absolutely loved Lights Out. I would rate more a 3.5 star though for this story. I liked Junior in Lights Out so I was excited to see him find someone. I just didn’t believe it. I didn’t feel connected at all to them as a couple. There really wasn’t much to the story then just he wanted to leave the family business. The spice was spicy but again it just didn’t have much plot to the story. Overall I did like it but it’s no where near how good Lights Out was. Also it seems to hint that we are getting Tyler’s story but for me I didn’t really care about him. lol Well I guess we will see. 🤷🏻‍♀️
