Foreword - The Shadow of a Vicious King
By Anya J Cosgrove
Lovely readers,
Some stories are not everyone’s cup of tea. The hero and heroine in this novel wrestle with more than one type of monster.
Here’s the trigger list for this fantasy romance, so you can decide for yourself. Be advised that, when in doubt, I chose to include a trigger rather than skip it.
- Heroine starts off engaged to the wrong guy (if you can’t handle Jim and Pam from The Office or Allie and Noah from The Notebook, don’t read this)
- Invisible shadow daddy
- Stalking (he’s invisible, what can we expect?)
- Mention of SA (not on the page)
- Mention of physical abuse (not on the page)
- Dirty talk
- Blood and violence
- Profanity
- Detailed sexual content (where consent is freely given)
- Self-harm (thoughts)
- Morally gray situations
- Threats
- Misogyny (not by the hero)
- Mental illness
- Mention of suicide
- Death of a loved one
- Mention of mental and physical abuse by a parental figure (no detailed descriptions)
- Voyeurism
I highly recommend reading the other books in the series before this one. It isn’t the last book, and the book immediately after this will resolve a lot of the Red Forest mysteries.
Be aware there will be spoilers from previous books and a major cliffhanger.
