I have heard about these books and I am so appalled that 13-14 year olds are such heavy readers of this author. Now, I was allowed to read anything I wanted as a kid. Really anything. (King Rat at age 11). But there’s so much of this authors books around (of course I thought Twilight was problematic for teens too for similar but less graphic content: He wants to kill her, she wants to die to be with him. I’m so sorry to learn the Hoover books are as bad as I thought.
