Book Two in the 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?

Editorial Review

He’s a mobster. She’s his obsession
I didn’t think I’d fall this hard for Nic and Lo, but Caught Up pulled me in fast and didn’t let go. The story follows Lauren, a cam girl who’s built her life on her own terms, and Nico, the mobster who never really let her go even after betraying her years ago. What starts as an unwelcome reunion slowly unravels into something darker, deeper, and unexpectedly tender. The performances by Kasi Hollowell, Jason June, and Teddy Hamilton were SO steamy, making it impossible to stop listening. I wasn’t ready for how much I’d care about these characters. —Patty R., Audible Editor

Lights Out was my very first Nessa Allen read and I absolutely loved it. So when Caught Up was announced, I was super stoked. I waited for it with so much anticipation… and I was not disappointed.

I’d seen a lot of reviews from people feeling let down because they were expecting a direct Ali and Josh sequel. Personally, I think Ali and Josh already had their story , it wrapped up and made space for new characters in this book. Caught Up focuses on Aly’s cousin Nico and his love interest, Lauren. I’ll leave it at that so it’s not spoiled.

If you go into this expecting a copy-and-paste of Josh and Aly’s relationship, you might be disappointed. While it has a similar vibe to Lights Out, it’s also very different — and I’m totally okay with that. I enjoyed the fresh elements, the new dynamics, and the nostalgia of seeing Aly and Josh make appearances.

The narrators absolutely killed it and made the experience even better. Nessa has a hit on her hands, and I wish more people would give it a chance for what it is, not dismiss it just because it’s not Lights Out.

Not Lights Out…but that’s ok!

I loved all the characters but Lauren. I don’t find anything about her to like. Jr and all others made me finish the book. He is everything!!

Female lead sucks

Great!

Overall a good book with palpable attraction and spicy sex, though I felt the conflict between the two mains felt forced/rushed to drive the storyline. I did appreciate the trans inclusion with the friend Ryan.

Drama between main characters feels forced

This was funny and had me giggling in my car by myself. I probably looked crazy.

So Funny

Felt rushed, kinda wanted more backstory for them. Felt like it was all about the club and smutty bits

Not as good as the first one.

First off the female lead irritated me to no end. Junior deserved so much better. She always thought the worst and never believed in him. But anyways I loved Junior 😍 and Teddy did him justice. I wish Junior had a different woman to love him but hey it is what it is.

Good story

One of the few books that had me burst out laughing at spots. This is book had me hooked from the first chapter and wishing I could read it again for the first time. the Story was great and I do like how they both explor the others passions and interests.

Quirky
