Really interesting concept and a diverse cast of characters. I do sort of wish I had read it as a physical or e-book the first time instead of listening to the audiobook. It was a bit tough for me to separate the characters at first since the way I listen to audiobooks while I'm doing other things I sometimes missed when a switch in character was announced. However, this is my personal experience and overall I really enjoyed the narration of this book.
Graphic: Gun violence, Sexual content, and Death of parent
Moderate: Death, Terminal illness, Torture, Violence, Grief, Mass/school shootings, and Murder
Minor: Alcohol
The main plot does involve the six initiates protecting the society which does involve fairly detailed fighting with enemies who try to break in this extends to torturing and killing some of those who made it through the wards. . Minor spoiler one of the initiates had a sibling who died from an incurable terminal illness. Large spoilers One of the characters had to watch his mom die in a mass shooting and relive that day over and over again. Additionally, the initiates realize that while there are six of them - they won't have to pick one of them to leave - they have to pick one of them to kill. There is some graphic sexual content in multiple instances. Some is a M/F pairing, the other instance is a M/F/F threesome.
