Content Ratings

Moderate Romance
Sophie develops a crush on a warlock and navigates a complicated romantic triangle; romance is present and emotionally significant but secondary to the mystery and supernatural danger; physical content is limited to kissing.
Mild Themes
Sophie is navigating her identity as a witch and dealing with being an outsider; the school is politically complex and dangerous; themes of identity, belonging, and the complexity of supernatural society are central; the tone is lighter than pure horror and balances humor with danger.
Moderate Violence
Students are being attacked and drained of blood; supernatural creatures face danger; confrontations involve magic and violence; violence is fantasy-based and not excessively graphic.
