It seems every time you walk into a book
store and head to the young adult section all you find are sappy super natural
love stories. You can find everything from “sexy” blood sucking vampires to
ridiculously macho werewolves. All I want to know is what is SO attractive
about some pale ugly guy who drinks other people’s blood then kisses you with
the same mouth after “feeding”? Ugh...when did super-natural become sexy
anyway? Whatever happened to real authors for young adult and their readers? Why
are we forced to read this rubbish when all we want are good writers, good
characters and a good story line? After all aren’t all these super-natural
books the same; the love triangle where 2 guys fight over one teenage girl
that’s normally as plain and predictable as a rice cake? For those of us who
like to read real young adult books it seems all we can do is wait until this dreadful
era is over.
