jaleh ౨ৎ asked this question about The Wolf Gift (The Wolf Gift Chronicles #1):

does this book have any explicit themes that would be too much for a 14/15 year old to read? i read interview with the vampire and i was pleasantly surprised that it was relatively clean, but i am unsure about this book and her other stories. thank you!

On top of that, there are a few sex scenes, but not graphic at all. I'd say it's appropriate for a teen to read, but then, it depends on the teen. The only potentially shocking factor is that the sex happens when the protagonist is in his hybrid man-wolf form (his partner is a regular human woman).
As for Anne Rice's other novels, the vampire chronicles become increasingly less "clean" as the series goes on, with the sex scenes getting more and more graphic (and gratuitous, in my personal opinion) from one book to the next.(less)
