Ooh, I like that author.
'Sleeper'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil
Oh, that reminds me! My mom wants another book she can read with Aeryn similar to The Locked Tomb books, and wanted to know how age-inappropriate this one would be. Most sites say "older teen," and Aeryn is 14. I'm fairly permissive about what I let them read, but there's a difference between "I won't stop you from borrowing it from the library" and "I'm going to recommend your grandmother buy this for you so you can read and discuss it together."
(At that age I was sneakily reading Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty porn but I certainly wasn't in a book club about it with my grandmother. )
So, folks who have read it, where does it land on the spice/gore scale?
The first 20 pages are pretty tame...
