Content Warnings

Graphic: Xenophobia

Moderate: Gun violence

Minor: Xenophobia

There is a graphic c-section in the novel, and it does result in the death of a supporting character. If you have experienced anything similar to that, beware. Also, there is mention of witchcraft as a sin, so be prepared if you are wiccan or practice witchcraft in your own life.
