The River Styx Heathens — series

Tropes & Themes

How it starts

In Ponderosa Springs, this version of Romeo and Juliet isn't a tragedy. It's war. Jude Sinclair is West Trinity Falls' favorite exiled loner. Cocky and insufferably hot, he is the family foe raised across the tracks in a rival town. Trouble is his middle name, and now that he's just down the hall, it's harder to resist the pull. My father made one rule when Jude moved in: never trust a Sinclair. But with every forbidden kiss and secret hookup, I quickly find myself faced with two options. Betray my family? Or betray my heart? ⚠️ Content warnings: past sexual abuse, graphic violence, slut shaming, past child abuse, past child neglect, death/grief, substance abuse, drug abuse, rape, third party sexual assault.
