Definitely! I just don't see that this series will ever need graphic sex. Now, the violence might get a bit more graphic, but I want to keep it to a point where my youngest daughter could pick up the books and read them if she wanted. Now, granted, she's going to have a few questions.
Also, I think that too many books go for the "shock factor". What that means is that nothing's shocking anymore. *shrug* Yes. Bad things happen, but I want people to feel the effects in their heart.

My youngest is 12 and will be 13 next month, so I'm writing it with her in mind. Each scene I write, I'm like, "Is this something I'd feel okay about having her read?" If the answer's no, it get scrubbed. So, hopefully, no worries.
Did something happen in the book that just didn't make sense? It's sometimes easy to miss stuff. Feel free to ask anything plot-wise here!
