Broken Bonds by J. Bree Paranormal Romance, Independently published in 2021 , 418 Pages What I Didn’t Like: There were no trigger warnings listed or suggested.

Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty A Contemporary, 2016 by Flatiron, 415 Pages What I Didn’t Like: If you hate spoilers, skip this bubble. Content warning: drowning, death.
