I was very disappointed that the trigger warnings for this book were not accurately reflected. She does cover most of them (graphic violence, stalking between main characters, explicit sexual situations, kinks such as degradation, gun play, and somnophilia, and deals with subject matters such as child trafficking, child deaths, and human sacrifice) however the others (dub/non con) should actually be SA, rape & Stockholm Syndrome. It also dragged on. I was over the redundancy by the end and just wanted the book to be done.
