Overall Content Rating: Restricted R

This is a gritty adventure with a young woman narrator caught up in pirates, bounty hunters, and rough city and wilderness settings. Expect frequent strong language, bar and club environments with partial nudity and harassment, and ongoing physical peril where people fight with fists, blades, and guns and discuss sexual violence by villains. Parents should know the tone stays tense and violent rather than playful: injuries and blood are described regularly, insults fly in arguments, and past atrocities including harm to children are referenced in dialogue. There are no customer review notes here beyond the passage samples; themes worth flagging from those samples include profanity, violence, sexual content, and sexual assault mentioned but not graphically enacted in the excerpts provided.

About this book

From award-winning author and master of world building, Kate L. Mary, comes the sequel to MOONCHILD, "a much needed breath of fresh air in the world of YA fantasy.” After surviving the auction and a near death experience at the hands of Asher’s father, Scarlett Moon is more than ready for life to settle down, but one distress call from Paget is all it takes to destroy the serenity she's managed to build. Searching the seediest parts of the city, the group picks up clues as they try to piece together what might have happened to Paget. But there’s no sign of her anywhere in Columbus. With all the clues pointing in one direction, the group leaves the city, but it seems the danger may have followed them, putting Paget in more danger than ever. The more Scarlett learns about the woman who used to hold Asher’s heart though, the more she's unable to deny how she really feels about him. Only, with Paget in trouble, Scarlett can’t help wondering if Asher might not be as ready to move on as he thinks... Perfect for fans of dystopian novels like The Hunger Games and Divergent , this series is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat! Read more
