What Parents Should Know
These are adult romances, not YA books. They include frequent strong language and explicit, open-door sexual content, plus abusive relationships and family trauma, stalking or threats, firearms, crime, violence, injury, grief, and death. The exact mix changes by book, but the trilogy is best suited to adult readers.
