Lights Out

I can finally share my experience with this book. Having ADHD episodes while physically reading a book is hard. But I want to finish this book. It has taken me days to just get halfway and this book goes back in two days. I have to finish this book. Anyway we are following a trauma nurse named Aly. She has been living life by routine. Her only relief from the mundane life she has is a little social media app that has her watch videos of her favorite thirst trap creator. Of course, one day she decides that she wants to explore this possible kink she had develop of having a masked man satisfy her, only problem is that the guy she was kind of seeing decided to find someone else while she was drowned with work. But there is something about the guy that she was kind of seeing. It turns out that his roommate is the one that was making the thirst traps that Aly was fantasizing over. But Josh doesn't like to show who he really is because he is the prime example that you can't choose your parents. Example being that his dad is a serial killer. With that in thought, Josh doesn't get out much, but his interest is peaked when Aly sends his roommate one of his videos and asks if he was willing to play something out with her. Then the obsession begins. That is pretty much the story so far. Of course Aly isn't going to just make it easy for Josh and Josh is having too much fun with her to just lay everything on the table. Aly suspects that it is Josh behind the mask, she just can't prove it yet. That is as far as I got in the book. But I'm going to try to read a few more chapters because I'm quite enjoying this predictable romance playing out.

Well, I am finally almost finished with this book. I have like forty pages and I'm going to upset some people on my opinion on this book. The book was okay but it wasn't great. It felt like there was no plot line or character development. It felt like the author was like "Here are the characters and this is the way they are." I'm not going to lie that it was fairly good but not fantastic. I was pretty much bored after halfway through the book. Yes there were some tense moments and fun banter with some spicy scenes thrown in, but that is about it. I believe that this book is too over hyped. But I will say that it is nice to have a male character that knew his actions were questionable and even told the female lead that he would stop if she asked him to. He knew that there are limits to his weirdness. Bravo on that. Sadly, the book is only going to get three out of five stars. I would honestly say that it would be two and a half stars, but I had to round up. It would be too mean to round down. But if you are into books that are more about the romance and the spice, this is your book. If you want more of a plot line, move on, this book isn't for you. Will I be reading the second one? I don't know. I was planning on it but after reading this book, I'm not so sure anymore. I guess time will only tell.
