Safety Rating: Safe
• No cheating
• No OW/OM drama
– Hero's have been celibate since coming to Earth (~7-years)
• Does have Raithe pushing Arawyn away
• No separation
Possible Triggers: Yes
• Heroine's father attempted to r@pe her when she was 16-years-old (off-page, briefly mentioned)
• Briefly mentioned Heroine's been assaulted, almost killed, abducted and tortured prior to the start of this book
– How the Heroine talks about these traumatic incidences can be offending and triggering. She blames herself – not the perpetrators – because her power acts as an "allure" which causes humans to covet and obsess over her. Despite this context, it sometimes came across as victim-blaming.
• Heroine has a stalker
• Someone is trying to murder the Heroine
• Reference to violence
Ending:Cliffhanger
