Now that so many romantasy books are being adapted — you already know we’ll be sat for Fourth Wing and Quicksilver — we figure it’s only a matter of time until dark romances start making their way to the screen. We’d wager that the subgenre is nearly as popular as romantasy, if not more. We’ve seen so many take off on TikTok.

Navessa Allen’s Lights Out is one of them. In fact, when we checked in with a few indie bookstores, the first and newly released second book in the Into Darkness series were top sellers in June.
