There are mentions of rapes, a snuff film of a tortured woman occurs and there is a lot of heavily implied sexual torture :(rachelc315's review

Cons: Ben was a twirly-mustache villain and the threat of SA should never be a plot point.
Moderate: Sexual assault

Now, I have to admit, I do think these books are LOOONG to the point I felt they could have benefited from some cuts, but in the end they are five stars. Diana and Matthew have got to be one of my favorite fantasy couples. Diana is such a strong, independent woman and Matthew is a classic alpha male, but Diana has no problem putting him in his place! Their almost enemies-to-lovers romance gives me the tingles and their epic love is world shattering.
I recommend this series to all the readers out there looking for a fall read this spooky season!

Heads up that the main subplot contains a lot of sexual violence, including incest and sexual violence against children.
