I expect some gore when I read thrillers. I expect some raunchiness when I pick up a romance novel. I expect (although I don't like it) bad language. If I'm reading adult fiction, I expect sex scenes. One of my main complaints about the House of Night series is the inappropriateness for young adults. I swore after Burned that I would not be buying any more House of Night books, and I plan to keep that oath. I read Awakened solely because I got it for free from my library. I had that feeling of not being able to look away from something gruesome because of the sheer entertainment value. I sped through this book, partly because of the fast-paced plot and partly because I was experiencing the "car-wreck" phenomenon. And considering my eight months pregnant body, that's saying a lot. You could have knocked me over with a feather after I closed the cover of Awakened.
