Tropes, themes & trigger warnings
All of E.J. Campbell’s current and planned works fall squarely under the dark romance and whychoose genres. This means that they do (or will) contain content that some readers might potentially find distressing, as well as polyamorous and LGBTQ+ relationships. I do my best to make sure that I flag everything that may potentially be a trigger, but please reach out if you feel I might have missed or misrepresented a content warning. But for your peace of mind, please be mindful of these triggers before reading.
Lists may be updated as series progress, if anything changes.
All books are intended for mature audiences 18+ only.
