The first story, Seven Nights For Dying, involves what I can only read as grooming, although it is not framed this way.
More than one story has the issue many vampire YA stories have with a love interest being chronologically much older.
The cultural appropriation warning is for how the final story, First Kill, briefly namedrops a certain entity from Algonquian folklore that must not be referred to by name.
