Pro-life message of not, these books seem to be awfully creepy fare that I wouldn’t let my daughter near. And no, I don’t mean creepy as in “It has a vampire in it and vampires are creepy.”
I mean as in relationship creepy:

That fact I was not aware of.
I’ve never heard of them before...
What is it you object to ???
I could post a website decrying the creepiness of Woody Woodpecker and get people to believe it.
My 17 year-old daughter read the previous books in the series and is almost finished with this one.
She is a deeply committed Christian who helps lead praise and worship at our church. She has a real aversion to things “on the dark side” and surprising wisdom for someone so young — far far far more than her daddy had at that age.
We can strain at this gnat all day, while real evil runs roughshod over our youth culture.
Thanks for that great link. I have no desire to read the series. In general I am disturbed at the popularity of taking what has usually been thought as evil and making it seductive (yeah I know vampires are not real) but there is a deeper message here. We are in this society being asked to accept as viable and affirming choices that those before us had no problem identifying as poison to the soul. If no one thinks teen, children or adult fiction does not play an important role in this they are very naive (sp).
So that's what happened to Hillary!
OK I see ...
I went back and actually READ the link...
“nice” books...
No pre-marital sex...
But every other kind of abuse and demonic goings on...
But HEY...
No pre-marital sex...
I agree. My daughter isn't getting near these.
..but after reading your link, I find the storyline very sick, abstinence or not.
And now I remember last week being in a bookstore, and all the employees were dressed to the 'nines' and said they were going to have a 'book party' and it was for THIS book...which I realized as I read all this.
Very disturbing....very sick.
The discussion at “The Point” is kind of “What did you think they’d say?” but the one they link to, “Occupation: Girl,” is hysterical. No wonder my daughter said the first book in the series was even dumber than my secret Barbara Cartland stash!
