Violence
The novel is filled with scenes of violence and descriptions of violent nature, so, from that perspective, it’s not designated for teenagers. The plot is driven by cases of violent torture and killings by a psychotic antagonist and it doesn’t shy away from descriptions of the same. Rape and torture, psychological and physical, take up considerable sections of the novel.
Fantastical creatures
The novel falls into the genre of fantasy, and the main aspect of it are fantastical creatures called werecats. As the name suggests, it is a twist on the already well-known trope of werewolves, but instead of wolves it is cats. As a matter of fact, the only difference from that trope is the physical description of the creatures.
Love triangle
As a fantasy novel that follows a lot of clichés of its time, the trope of a love triangle is no exception. Our main heroine, Faythe, finds herself feeling the romantic and sexual tension between both her ex-boyfriend/predestined husband Marc and one of the members of the clan called Jace.
A tropical flower
The novel ends with what could be interpreted as a hint for the following parts of the series. Faythe discovers that she has a copy of Walden from her human ex called Andrew. Inside, she discovers a dried tropical flower and wonders what’s it all about.
