Loved the SyFy show, but was shocked at the amount of sexual content, not put off but I just wasn't expecting it. Can the same amount be expected in the books?

There is some sexual content to be sure, but not to the same degree as the show. There is however, a hefty portion of profanity, drug adjacent references, and violence - so if you want to steer clear of “racy” or “mature” subjects, this is not the series for you. If you’re just not so into the hot and steamy sexual descriptions in your literature, you’re good to go (because the small number of sexual situations are purely PG13). (less)

What is an appropriate minimum age to read this series? Would a very mature eighth or ninth grader be able to read it?

Matt Would you let them watch an R-rated movie? If yes, they might be mature enough, if no, I’d say wait it out.
