Graphic: Blood and Murder
Moderate: Violence, Alcohol, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Panic attacks/disorders, and Vomit
Minor: Toxic friendship, Suicide, Rape, Misogyny, Medical content, Injury/Injury detail, Infidelity, Fire/Fire injury, Emotional abuse, and Domestic abuse
As a benchmark, there is a mild secondhand description of a past rape in the first chapter, and the description never really gets more graphic than that.sunsetcity's review against another edition

In this thriller, English professor meets serial killer in a gripping story that brings female serial killers to the forefront. This book is not only a show of pure literary excellence from Layne Fargo but a truly twisted and primal take on feminism (and beautiful queer and bisexual representation). The use of dual-narration gives the reader great insight, and with a morally grey protagonist Fargo executes a storyline of vengeance vs victimhood with twists and turns that leave the reader constantly guessing.
Do you root for the killer or their victims? Who is the true underdog? Were the crimes worthy of the punishment? Is vigilante justice the answer? And is my love for the protagonist worthy of my own psychological evaluation?
The only way to find out is to keep turning the page and that is certainly not a problem, because Layne Fargo will leave you wanting to know more.

Of course I don't think killing men is the right way to punish them.... but it's impossible not to root for the murderer here. XD
