We sat down with professional ghostwriter, “Bree,” to explore the world of romantasy and Navessa Allen’s Lights Out. Along with dissecting the genre's rise, we put her on the spot to turn mundane texts into something steamy and listened as she read a spicy excerpt from Lights Out.

We wrapped up with a quick-fire round of dirty "would you rather," so grab your headphones and join us for the heat.

The spice meter is at 100 and we’re honestly scared that this is only the "edge" (get it?). Things between Josh and Aly intensify, as Aly aims to punish her "Faceless Man" (i.e. Josh) for not B&E into her house and ravishing her. There's a scene with a substantially sized vibrator, and an intentional loss of circulation to Aly's special bit - all in the name of pleasure.

We dive into Aly’s guilt over her mom’s death, plus how Josh and Tyler became bros — forged in the fires of false accusations and Josh’s serial killer father’s reputation.

These pages leave us wondering: Is it romantic? Is it alarming? Are we concerned for everyone involved? Tune in.

An ER nurse obsessed with a masked internet fantasy.
