A review by talknerdybookblog
Crooked Heart by Candace Wondrak

dark emotional mysterious tense slow-paced

3.0

No strong representation of diverse characters or minority identities.

Safety Rating: Safe with Exceptions

• No cheating
• No OM drama
– Although, there is drama about Viper being part of the Harem.
• Does have OW drama
– Maddox's ex-lover Mina approaches him at a club when Lola is in the bathroom; Mina dirty dances on Maddox and kisses him when she sees Lola approaching. Lola beats the crap out of her for it.
• Does have the Heroes pushing the Heroine away
• No separation


Possible Triggers: YES

• Murder
– Heroine is a serial killer and doesn't really care if her victims are actually bad guys (she only kills men, though)
– All the men in this book kill people
• Gratuitous violence, including blood and gore
– Includes rough sex; there's also one scene with knife-play and two with strangling
• Suicidal ideation, including a suicide attempt
• R@pe
– including incest (memories)
– in the present (Lola is r@ped by Tony) but off-page


Ending:
Cliffhanger
