Dear Reader:

It means so much to me that you enjoyed the beginning of Sin and Wren’s story enough to come back for a second bite. From the very bottom of my heart, thank you for taking a chance on me and allowing me to share my stories with you. Judging from the events of book 1, you can safely assume this second installment is also going to be an emotional rollercoaster, so you may want to buckle up. That being said, the mental health of my readers is always my priority, and so here is the list of content warnings for what you will find inside The Bonds That Break Us.

Mental Health Matters.

Hello Reader,

Fate of the Damned is a dark vampire fantasy romance or, simply put, vampire erotica.

It is intended for mature readers and is not suitable for all audiences or ages.

Reader Discretion is Advised.

That said, let me prepare you for what you will find in this book to ensure I give you the best opportunity for an enjoyable reading experience. Fate of the Damned features many mature subjects and potential triggers, and I want to keep the reader’s mental well-being in mind before they continue.

This is a work of erotica, meaning high smut and strong emotions. Those moments are what drive the morally gray characters and plot. This book focuses on a polyamorous relationship between three male vampires and a female human. This means these males have an ongoing relationship of both a sexual and emotional nature outside their female counterpart. What does this mean—they enjoy sex with each other, with or without Valentina’s presence. Almost all scenes are guided by some form of consent and require their partner(s) to offer an enthusiastic response before proceeding.

Kai, Fallon, and Wilder aren’t good men or vampires. They’ve committed atrocities over the years, most of which they will never be sorry for. They may do things or make choices you don’t like, such as exact violence on those around them, lie, cheat, or create general chaos. If you’re looking for them to become bright and shiny heroes, you may not find that here—they are vampires after all… and fictional. The same goes for their human counterpart—Valentina has to ignore some red flags in order for the book to go on as it does.

This book is a fast burn with one slow burn love interest.

It also ends on a cliffhanger and is part of duet.

I do hope you enjoy this very spicy, dark romance story I’ve written for you.

Happy Reading!

Dear Reader,

As you consider picking up and enjoying my debut Urban Fantasy novel Devil’s Intern, I would like to take this opportunity to make sure that you go in as an informed reader. This is to ensure that you have the best possible experience as you immerse yourself in Anna’s journey. I know that, personally, there are some topics that trigger me as a reader, and those things immediately wrench me out of the story, leaving me saddened that I was unaware of what to expect.

So, in order to make sure that your experience with my book is an enjoyable one I’ve compiled a list of trigger warnings for you listed below.

Hello reader.

As much as I want to say rage and storm, I must warn you that lightning strikes in the most unusual places. And so, I am here to tell you to take caution before diving into this tome. Her Dark Grace is a book about many things but at its core, it is a book about trauma. And while I did not want to include real life phobias into the novel, you will find parallels to them within the text.

So dear reader, if you have decided to surge ahead and join the storm, then inside you will find a woman, who above all else, loves. As brutal as her story is there is one thing I want you to take from Eirlys. It is her capacity to find love in the most heinous of times and horrid of places. But also, she never forgives because she will never forget. She will ravage the land and grow something new in the chaos. If you proceed, I invite you to take my hand and hers, and rage with us.

In addition, this book contains the following content warning.

This novel contains:

Torture
Infanticide
Chronic Pain
Suicidal Ideation and attempt
Whipping
