This one's emotionally rough, though weirdly (by my personal meter), less dark than the previous book. The love triangle silliness begins to get sorted out, we get to see more of the Fae side of this world... and the ending is brutal in a way that lets us get to see the best side of certain characters as they respond to it.

I was really enjoying this one - Mercy trying her best to investigate the murder that landed her friend, Zee in jail, right up until Mercy is magically coerced and raped by the real murderer.

Trigger warning: the last 25% of the book revolves around Mercy being sexual assaulted under the influence of fae magic, which also causes her to gaslight herself into contemplating suicide because of how the men in her life will react to her being assaulted. This was extremely triggering and reinforcing of unhealthy beliefs (even though a minor character stepped in to monologue about why this was happening to Mercy). In my opinion, this sobering topic was not handled in a sensitive manner.

This book needs the most extreme set of trigger warnings possible. Despite loving the first two, this left me exhausted and overwhelmed.
TW: assault, r*pe, supernatural gaslighting, extreme manipulation, suic*de
and that probably isn't even a comprehensive list
