I know that not all readers need to know what they’re getting into before they start a book, but I think it’s important to respect the ones that do.

Beautiful Scars Book #1 deals with dark themes and intense emotional fallout.

Book #2 picks up where the first book leaves off and goes much deeper into that darkness with a lot more intensity. And, while not all events in either of these books are graphic or even on-page the emotional weight of them can be felt deeply throughout the stories.
