!!This series provides examples of the following tropes:
* ActionMom: Catherine has a teenage son and spends a lot of the first book trying to keep him safe while she deals with the villain.
* DepravedBisexual: The villain of ''What Doesn't Kill You'' isn't above using sex to control his male employees (TheDragon in particular), and also fantasizes about torturing and raping Catherine.
* EccentricMentor: Hu Chang, dear ''God''. He experiments with chemicals in part for his own amusement and seemingly takes few things completely seriously. He also rescues Catherine's son from under the nose of assassins who already killed the CIA agents guarding the safehouse.
* ImmortalityInducer: [[spoiler:Hu's latest project in ''What Doesn't Kill You'' is apparently both poison and cure. He treated an old woman with it and it turned her youthful again.]]
* MayDecemberRomance: Catherine's dead husband, a fellow CIA agent, was much older than her.
* WhenLifeGivesYouLemons: The triad burns down Hu Chang's shop for protecting Catherine. Hu's response is to go digging in the ashes to see what new compounds the fire turned his stock into.
