Triggers

This is a list of the main triggers in each book. Triggers are subjective, so this may not be all-inclusive. This page will be updated as new books release, where applicable. For series, I grouped triggers rather than listing individual triggers per book. If you think I have missed an important trigger, please email siobhan@siobhandavis.com

This list spoils the story, so if you don’t have any triggers, I suggest you click off this page ASAP!
