Parent notes
This page promotes several books with highly inappropriate themes for conservative families, including one centered on a professional S/M dungeon. Parent concerns: Content regarding S/M (Sadomasochism) and dungeons; Sexual fetishism and 'Mature' YA romance themes; Descriptions of crime and brutal gangs; Religious apologetics vs. potential for dark fantasy themes Romance/sexual content: Descriptions of books include a protagonist who works in an S/M dungeon and 'Mature YA Romance.' Language: No specific profanity is used in the descriptions, though the themes are adult. Violence: Mentions of 'brutal murder cases,' 'brutal gangs,' and 'abuse.' Substances: Mention of a character 'working hard on self-destruction' which often implies substance use in YA contexts. Worldview themes: Christianity, Skepticism, Sexual Liberation, Occult/Fantasy
