I've come to the conclusion that H.D. Carlton is a phenomenal author with a wicked imagination! Her stories are so unique and have such depth, I plan to devour everything she writes! The entire universe feels so well-thought out with no stone left unturned (or plot holes to worry over), and characters you can absolutely obsess over. However, I definitely feel like I can't recommend anything she writes to regular friends/family due to the trigger warnings. If she says she's going to put you through trauma/pain, she means it! 👏🏻 

I might need therapy after reading her books, but I can't get enough! 

Definitely check the trigger warnings as Part 1 in this book deals with very dark subject matter.
