Nathaniel's father is emotionally abusive and slaps him in his first appearance in the book. This is the only described instance of physical abuse, but it's implied that this was not the first time Nathaniel's father hit him.

Roman's death scene where he bleeds out due to his stitches splitting is surprisingly graphic. There is also a flashback of Anna's first attempt at surgery on Roman -- which resulted in him losing his arm. At the end of the book, Nathaniel's father is killed and his grandmother's throat is slit. Both of these deaths are described in detail.

There is a brief mention of a noose in the middle of town, and there is a body hanging in it when Anna walks by. She describes the feeling of knowing that the law wants her to hang as well.

There is a scene where Anna has to draw some of both her and Nathaniel's blood for a blood test. The scene is short and played for comedy, though Nathaniel does briefly describe how the needle feels. The book starts with Anna watching Thatcher perform surgery on Roman, stitching him up. In Roman's death scene, the stitches splitting is described.

There is a flashback of Anna's first attempt at surgery, which results in Roman losing an arm. It's a big source of guilt for her and is referenced a lot. Other than that, nothing is described, but Anna talks a lot about constructing prosthetic limbs for people.

Nathaniel's father sees him as weak due to his heart condition and mentions it often.
There's also a scene where Anna gifts Roman with a prosthetic arm she made for him. She does this with completely good intentions, but Ruby later tells her that this upset Roman and made him wonder if his missing arm meant something wrong with him

Anna's parents and Nathaniel's mother were killed before the story begins. Nathaniel believes his father killed her, but she actually died of an illness. Nathaniel's father is killed by his grandmother at the end of the book -- who is then killed by Eliza.
Ruby's husband Dalton is also killed before the story begins, and before Roman really knew him.

At the end of the book, Ruby has her baby, but it is not described or shown -- just the moment after the baby is born.

Part of Eliza's training as an assassin involved an exercise where everyone had a secret written on a scrap of paper. The job of the trainees was to retrieve another person's secret. This involves stalking, but it is not serious, and Eliza doesn't receive a secret this way.

Thatcher is a doctor who is seen performing surgery at the beginning of the book. Anna wants to be a doctor as well, and there is a scene where she unscrews the metal panel over Nathaniel's heart to get a better look at it. Anna and Nathaniel both have something called a T.I.C.K.E.R., or an artificial heart, and it's talked about a lot.

Roman dies trying to protect Anna from Nathaniel. His stitches are torn open by his sudden movement, and his bleeding out (as well as his body) is described in detail. Anna and Nathaniel both feel extreme guilt for this, and the reaction from Roman's mother Ruby is seen.

Nathaniel's father's main goal is to find and execute Anna. She is kidnapped by Nathaniel, but easily escapes and it's actually kind of funny. Later in the book, Thatcher is kidnapped by Nathaniel's father, and Nathaniel spends some time in the cell with him, but they both escape.

Nathaniel is 18, but his father has been abusive and neglectful for his whole life.
