I am going to start a list, here, but please feel free to add to it!
Hawksong, by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Snakecharm, by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
(There are more, in this series, but I liked the first two, best!)
They start out, a little different, but they, like Twilight, are clean reading, without lots of disturbing content, to keep me up, at night!
These books, which are a part of The Kiesha'ra Series, are romantic fantasy, and have some thought provoking content, about sacrifice, willingness to change, and trust. They are very imaginitive and original.
I would rate them PG13, for a little blood, and sensual references.
The Mortal Instruments series, by Cassandra Clare
I have only read The City of Bones and The City of Ashes, but I was pleasantly surprised, by these! They are, again, pretty clean reads...
With so many vampire-type novels, out there, it's hard to find a series that even remotely keeps you guessing, or isn't too young! I enjoyed these, for these reasons.
Then again, I haven't delved into toooo many vampire novels....The ones I have, though, are a bit gross! This one gets a little gross, but it isn't one giant blood fest, and the story isn't disturbing. These are also romance novels, have some fun characters, and great wit!
My rating is P.G.13, for some gore, slightly disturbing content, some language.
Harry Potter, of course......We listen to these, all of the time, on tape!
The Host
If you haven't read it, because you don't like the idea of aliens, taking over our bodies, or because it started out, too weird, plow on! It's a good read, with a definite line, between good and evil, and isn't disturbing.
Please feel free to add to this list! Overall, I enjoy fairly clean reads, where the content and characters are more enjoyable, than disturbing! Oh~ and a good sense of humor, helps lots!
Also, if you love Twilight, I have to share my newest creations.:)

Also, Fallen, by Lauren Kate...
ReplyDeleteFallen is good, too! I forgot about that one...
ReplyDeleteI also finished The City of Glass, by Cassandra Claire (the third book in the series)....It is a little more colorful, and bloody, than the others, but I had to finish it, to have a conclusion to the story! I am glad I did.:)
