Halloween Reads
A Goodreads user asked this question about Storm Front (The Dresden Files, #1):
My 12 year old is interested in reading this series. Is there anything in the book(s) which might be inappropriate? Thanks, in advance, for any helpful information. mb
Crislee I'm glad you asked. I think we're similar. And you're smart to ask. So ignore the poor parenting advice you clearly received from some others here.

While there are no bad words (that I can remember), nor sex scenes, there are light hints sex as just a desire. Plus at the end a couple hapving sex to give a bad wizard power. It doesn't describe in detail the sex, just that they are naked. One character drinks a love potion and badly wants sex. Nothing happens and it's comical to hear what she says to the main character, but if that's appropriate or not to you is not mine to decide. I'd not have allowed my kids at 12 but I would now that they are much older. And please know that I have only read the first and didn't care much for it even though it came very highly recommended by two friends who also love to read. I'm a homeschool mother and my youngest is now 16. It was somewhat appropriate for her. And I'd allow her to read it. But only you can decide that. It's not a long book you may want to preview it yourself. I think it's on Kindle Unlimited right now. And as I see this I see you asked 3 years ago. So, if you haven't already allowed yours to read it, do it. He/she is likely old enough. I do a lot of reviews for authors who ask me to review their books. I always (especially the teen or young adult fiction) add what I think about kids reading it. Unlike some below, I think it's wrong to allow your kids to read whatever. They can do that when they aren't your responsibility. And with some of the things I've read, I'd be bothered with my kids reading it. I don't watch Outlander with my adult daughter either. Yet we both watch. I'm not watching soft porn with my child at any age. Some books don't warn you they have pornographic passages. And yes, kids should not read those. Nor should parents allow them to watch porn, duh. But maybe I'm the last of the parents who actually parent. That's what's wrong with our society. Kids parent themselves. Good job for asking!(less)
