Read the trigger warnings beforehand. Nothing too bad, though; author did not go into too much detail on the serious themes (only the spicy scenes, of course!).jasbeingjas's review against another edition

The smut is intense and those content warnings are not a joke, though. I did have to skip a couple things because it got to be A Lot. However, this is one that works even if you’re not reading the smut, which is great and shows a lot of growth from Court of the Vampire Queen.
Solid four stars, won’t be recommending to my mom or anyone I want to look in the eye ever again, though. So, internet, definitely read this if you’re not triggered by anything in the CW.

Current ranking of the series:
- The Demon’s Bargain (Team Ramanu forever)
- The Kraken’s Sacrifice/The Gargoyle’s Captive (Kraken had better characters but Gargoyle had better smut)
- The Dragon’s Bride (I’ve kinda forgotten about it ngl)
Representation:
- nonbinary side character that uses they/them

Both protagonists are grieving the loss of various family members and their subsequent position as the only one left. This grief drives one protagonist to suicidal thoughts, though they’re never acted upon. There are mentions of multiple deaths, of parents and younger siblings. There’s also one brief scene with giant spiders, said on-page to be roughly the size of a medium dog. But, as someone with an intense fear of spiders and bugs, I can say it’s not terrible.potalian's review against another edition
