| Into Darkness Book 2 |
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?

My Review: 4/5 Stars
Nic (aka Junior) has waited a decade to have a second chance with Lauren and he isn’t going to mess it up. Ten years ago, Nic distanced himself from Lauren in order to protect her. And as much as he wishes he could have saved her some pain and heartache when he walked away, he knew there were bigger monsters out there than the ones she was currently facing. And that she was strong enough to get through it on her own. But just because he distanced himself from her physically, didn’t mean he wasn’t keeping an eye out and being there for her through the years quietly and in the shadows. But the time has come for him to come into the light once more. He has plans to leave the mob his father has raised him in because while being with Lauren is the top thing he wants, he can also feel the things he does for his father, killing him bit by bit. But coming back into Lauren’s life isn’t easy. And just because she is speaking to him doesn’t mean she’ll trust him again. He’ll have to earn it. Lauren has never forgotten Nic even after everything that happened between them. But she finds herself wanting to be trust him again despite never giving second chances. And this time, she’ll learn all his secrets and truths. Because if she is gonna give her heart to the first boy she loved, then she needs to make sure he won’t break it again. I really enjoyed Lauren and Nic’s story! Though I definitely liked Josh and Aly’s story a lot more. Those two were just hilarious and I loved seeing them appear in this book as well. But I won’t lie and say I wasn’t curious about Junior after meeting him in the previous book. So I’m really glad he got his own story and we could get to know him more. And after this book, I’m definitely looking forward to reading Tyler’s story! Seems there is a lot more to him than first meets the eye!
