This is a collection of book pitches containing several titles with mature themes, including drug smuggling, infidelity, and occult elements, requiring parental screening for each individual title. Parent concerns: Mature YA romance themes; Gang violence and drug smuggling in 'The Colour of Your Voice'; Infidelity/love triangle themes in 'I Would Never...But If I Did'; Occult themes/witchcraft in 'Death By Curiosity' and 'Sea of Broken Things'; Self-destructive behavior and 'mature' content in 'Shakespeare Burning' Romance/sexual content: Contains descriptions of 'mature YA romance' and a contemporary romance featuring a love triangle where the protagonist is involved with two men simultaneously. Language: While not explicitly stated in the blurbs, several books are described as 'mature' or involving gangsters, which typically correlates with increased profanity in the YA/New Adult genres. Violence: Pitches include mentions of gang wars, 'beating people up,' demons, and murders.
