Content Ratings

No Romance

There is no romantic content; Cass's relationships are based on friendship with her living best friend and her ghost companion Jacob.

Moderate Themes

Cass 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

Cass died briefly and was brought back; she faces dangerous ghosts who want to drag her through the Veil; scenes of supernatural danger are genuinely frightening; violence is supernatural and intense but not graphic.
