The Hawthorne Legacy: The Inheritance Games, Book 2

Most physical descriptions are vague, so unless you've read the first book in the series you wouldn't have much information about race or ethnicity except for a couple of last names, one Chinese and one Latinx. In the first book we learn that one of the brothers' is mixed race and a school friend is Black. There's one same-sex couple.

A gunshot kills someone, but there's no gore or description of the body. A bomb explodes and the narrator is knocked unconscious with an out-of-body-type description of being shocked by defibrilators. A kidnapping has a character drugged with chloroform, tied to a chair, and threatened with a gun. A bloodstained sheet meant as a warning has a heart with a knife through it on the sheet. A fire in which four people died a long time ago is one of the main events being investigated. A past death and attempted murder are mentioned. Commenters on the internet threaten or suggest violence.

A few kisses with brief, vague descriptions, one same-sex and the rest between opposite sex characters. Teens play a strip game; one loses her top and her bra is described, one has lost everything but his pants and is about to remove them when the game's interrupted. Internet comments speculate about who someone's sleeping with.

"Bitch," "slut," and a character who uses sound-alike words that make it clear what swear word is being substituted.

An adult who "doesn't do well with wine" is drunk at a gala event and causes a scene. An adult offers a teen beer, which she declines. Older teens heard over the phone sound drunk after playing a drinking game. Pills, alcohol, and powder are found hidden in a missing adult's room.
