I will read them, but I sure love the grownup red-blooded stuff more! :) High-Octane fuel to reawaken the zing, boost the mood for the dark-times in life. I'd abandoned Romance decades ago due to frustration, but came back after 50-Shades & True-Blood showed the genre had adapted to more "my" reality. Your Fairwick series, Laurell K. Hamilton and Karen M Moning series definitely kept me afloat during a failing startup, angry young male managers who would not listen to 15 middle-aged female analysts, the sudden death of two friends and two dogs, and the long-term hospicing a very wonderful dog surviving well with cancer but nearing his end. During that time, the air just seemed heavy like there was a super-bass vibration all the time. Melancholia movie seems a pretty close approximation of that sound and atmosphere. I'd sit outside, read, and watch him enjoying laying in the sun, sniffing flowers and bugs.
Young Adults and innocence --lol. In the '50's, my teacher mom says 8/10 HS senior girls (in our well-funded, nice area) were pregnant. In the '70's us 4th grade girls were secretly reading Penthouse Forums on the playground, by 12 I was carving up deer carcasses for canning and secretly reading "Last Tango in Paris", by 14 my friends were secretly having lots of sex, by 17 so was I. By early 80's, my friends, age 21, were doing group sex, with loads of LSD, champagne and pizza. And, my older, Flower Child friends made us look boring .
I just completed the Fairwick Chronicles and really enjoyed them. (Was hoping for more) But I'll give the Blythewood novel a try while keeping an eye out for more Fairwick ones.
