Tropes/Content Warnings
Hello dear readers! Please note that this page is a work in progress. As I have learned more about potentially upsetting tropes, I am working on making lists for my books. At the moment, I am focusing on my current series, and will continue to update this page to include older books.
Please note that these lists may contain spoilers.
Cursed Blood
Cursed Blood features vampire heroes who enjoy drinking blood (consensually) along with physical intimacy. These books are slow burn with some explicit sexual content.
The series has an external plot that includes mystery, intrigue, and action-adventure style violence that is consistent with scenes from an R-rated action movie.
