The Immortals: Book 1Evermore
by Alyson Noël
Notes for Parents: Profanity is scattered around in this book, so if you are keeping your child away from that kind of language, it's best not to let them read it, however it's not terrible. Jealousy and violence is in a few chapters, but not so bad that teens can't read it. Iffy for 12+

The Twilight Saga: Book 4Breaking Dawn
by Stephenie Meyer
Notes for Parents: Graphic birthing scene, sexual content, violence, mature subject matter. Not intended for children under 12. If your child is more mature this book would be fine but younger children shouldn't read it.

The Mortal Instruments: Book 1City of Bones
by Cassandra Clare
Notes for Parents: It's a wonderful read for adults, teenagers and mature tweens alike. It's filled with excellent vocabulary, and is well written. There is some romance which leads to kissing but nothing graphic or vulgar. There is also violence, though none is particularly graphic either. The humor in the book can be of mature nature at times (innuendos). I highly recommend this novel to any and all fantasy readers. It's an excellent, well thought and wonderful book which is part of a thoroughly entertaining series.

Belgarath the Sorcerer
by David Eddings, Leigh Eddings
Notes for Parents: Some references to sex outside of marriage. Belgarath also went through a period where he was depressed and drunk all the time. It doesn't place that in a positive light, however.

The Twilight Saga: Book 1Twilight
by Stephenie Meyer
Notes for Parents: Contains vampires, werewolves and other supernatural, mythical creatures. Some violence, intense action.
-
The Virtual Saga: Book 3The Guns of Mars
by Martin T. Ingham
Notes for Parents: This book is suitable for anyone13 and up. It has no explicit sexual content, nor any language that you wouldn't hear in your average PG-13 movie. It might be suitable for some younger children, depending on their mental development, though there are some complex sociological issues which might escape them.
