Amelie Bennett. . . . Ending the world, one prophecy at a
time. I was born to slay Crossworld demons. Big black flappy ones, little green squirmy ones.
Unfortunately, the only thing getting slain these days is my
social life. With my high school under attack, combat
classes intensifying, and Academy instructors dropping right
and left, I can barely get my homework done, let alone score
a bondmate before prom. Then he shows up. Jackson Smith-Hailey. Unspeakably hot, hopelessly
unattainable, and dangerous in all the right ways. Sure,
he’s my trainer. And okay, maybe he hates me. Doesn’t mean
I’ll ignore the wicked Guardian chemistry between us. It’s
crazy! Every time I’m with him, my powers explode. Awesome,
right? Wrong. Now my teachers think I’m the murderous Graymason destined
to bring down our whole race of angelbloods. Everyone in New
Orleans is hunting me. The people I trusted want me dead.
Jack and I have five days to solve the murders, prevent a
vampire uprising, and thwart the pesky prophecy foretelling
his death by my hand. Shouldn’t be too difficult. Getting it done without falling in love. . . that might take
a miracle.

Re: Prophecy Girl
I think it is OK to have hookers and pimps in YA as long as the story line is not too graphic. Of course it is better to have good role models in the book but hookers are part of real life.

all sound good,pimps can go down under.

Hookers I think can be appropriate given certain circumstances, if regency novels can have them why not YA. Even some classics have them Moll Flanders for instance.
Sluts can be understood as they search for themselves or the lack of love and affection that they have recieved.
Bitches - please, they are on youtube and national news - the bitches and mean girls seem to be getting their 15 minutes of fame, they definitely have a place in a book (and a ring of hell).
Pimps - they might be the guy that starts off nice, then a bit abusive, then controlling, -- yes, I think getting a pimp in a book and allowing the deterioration of a character under his control is acceptable and a life lesson for girls about the cycle of abuse, from physical, emotional, to the sexual. This might be taboo but it is happening and a discussion should be raised.

I have not read any books of this type, so can't say, but it will be interesting to read one and then I can give you an accurate comment.

I think YA is much like a PG rating on a movie. There is going to be some that have more grit and/or hookers, bitches sluts, killing or not so pure things. Just as there are some with fairies, love, honesty, integrity, etc... Some days I want the darkness and others I want the light. Anything goes!

I definitely feel it is okay to have hookers, sluts, etc in YA after all they exist in real life

As a librarian, I come down on the side of keeping YA clean--mostly because so many parents object when books intended for that age group contain stronger issues or language. While more controversial material including abuse and the sex trade may be appropriate for older teens, most libraries have 9 and 10 yr olds prowling the YA shelves, and then their parents come in hopping mad because the unsupervised littlies come home with books about drugs, suicide, sex, etc. It's about the same for the bookstore shelves.
