Triggers, Dark Content & Themes

This page is to hopefully give some insight into which books &/or series contain trigger and content warnings as well as a comprehensive list of topics, content and themes that can appear in A. K. Graves writing. Please heed the warnings. Mental health is important.

Books & Series with Content Warnings

The majority of what A. K. has written contains some sort of content or trigger warning, however, A. K. has two series that don't save for one book; Bound Beyond Blood and The Riley Siblings. Those books are sugar and spice, lighter but steamy and plot driven. Outside of that and moving forward, all of A. K.'s books will fall under dark romance which means they will have warnings. This is your list to follow to make sure you know which ones to check, and your reminder to read those warnings.

Bound Beyond Blood - Paranormal MF

  • His Atonement - Book Three

Wulven Kings MC - Dark Contemporary MF

  • Sinister Red

  • Surviving Midnight

  • Broken Warrior

  • Insidious Heart

Prophets of Blood & Sunlight - Dark Vampire Paranormal MF

  • Cryptic Dreams

  • Haunted Nightmares

Trigger Warning List

This is the most thorough list of dark content that we came up with, all topics that have come up or will come up in one of A. K.'s books. Not every single one is in every book with a warning, and if you want book-specific triggers, please read the content note before starting any book, but these are the things you might see while reading one of A. K.'s books. If any of what's listed, or dark themes and content bother you, A. K.'s books might not be fore you.

​

If you decide to jump in and read anyway, rest assured knowing that every series or book A. K. writes has a HEA (eventually), and she makes sure to sprinkle in as much humor and spice as the story allows. None of the dark topics or themes like cheating or abuse are between main characters, but may be within a characters past or present created by circumstances and people involved in the plot. Things like this are specified where they can be. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to A. K. or her team.
