Content Ratings

❤️
No Romance
A sexual encounter is described with moderate directness. Moral and emotional ambiguity are present.
💡
Moderate Themes
The main character has a near-death experience that gave her powers but also made her vulnerable. She walks the line between life and death. Themes of mortality, the fragility of life, and the danger of the supernatural world are emotionally significant and genuinely scary.
⚔️
Moderate Violence
Supernatural confrontations are intense. Violence is frightening but not graphic.
