TIME TO STIR THE POT! Probably not a good thing when my anxiety is kicking my butt but I have things to say.
I'm noticing a lot of books marketed as YA lately have gotten some really mature topics in them. Anybody else noticed this change in the YA genre?
There will be on page spicy time with more adult themes throughout. And I'm probably just old but I've always been under the impression that YA books should be fade to black and any mature themes be muted. When I was a kid YA books were fluffy so to speak but lately when I pick up newer YA books this isn't the case.
For example These Hollow Vows is said to be YA and the sequel had on page spice.
Currently reading Stormbreaker by Nisha J Tuli and there's alcohol use, drug use, spicy content, multiple swearing throughout
I run a book club and we were reading A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid which is said to be YA and a lot had to DNF because there was some really triggering material in graphic detail.
Sunrise on the Reaping had very graphic scenes that had me gasping at the page.
Just for the record; I am not saying teens shouldn't be reading this, they can read whatever. Teens are reading and watching some real messed up stuff lately, and gravitating toward more mature books. So I do get why YA is changing
