4.0
Lou is a witch and due to certain circumstances is forced to marry Reid, a witch-hunter. Quick enemies to lovers, with twists towards the end of the book. Plot is semi-predictable but only in the sense that the romance follows a structure. The events of the book are not overly predictable.
Moderate: Death and Blood
Minor: Drug use
There is mention of blood and death throughout the book two characters are killed in the first quarter (roughly) and another few in the climax The drug use is in the climax of the book Various people use a paralysis drug on witches towards the middle to end of the book. And Lou’s mother forcibly uses a drug that paralyses witches on her to keep her subdued in the climax
