⚠️ Trigger Warnings

Content Overview

This urban fantasy romance novel contains themes that may be unsettling for some readers. Please review these warnings carefully before proceeding.

​

Skip-Chapter Guide

• This book doesn't have any chapters that I would recommend skipping completely... That's because in this book they never go all the way... Azrael edges Rayna at the end of the book. So there is sexual content in chapter 18 and chapter 20, but neither are chapters I recommend skipping completely.
