Three (History Plays, Book 2)
Summer break? Nah, it's heist time. The heirs to crime family syndicate work together and against each other as twisting plots for dominance run over each other over a piping hot summer. Loosely based on the first half of the Elizabethan Drama, Edward III. Feels like an indie drama. Trigger/ Content Warnings: Rape is discussed at length (no voilence on page). A character believes they are going to be raped. Some sexual innuendos. A teenage character does illegal drugs and drinks on page. Some on page violence. Children commit crimes on page and are encouraged to do so by adults. Be aware of your mental state and seek help as needed. More information below if needed, there are spoilers: A female character believes a male character is going to rape them. This goes on for the majority of the book. There is no violence and the other character never intends to commit rape, however it is implied that he is aware the female character is upset and does not seem to care, however he ceases advances when he realizes she is genuinely afraid of him and not merely nervous. That said the female character spends most of the book contemplating escaping the situation by whatever means necessary.Complete
