Undoubtably one of the most popular and rabidly loved YA paranormal series out there, VA is an interesting mix of teenage angst and insecurity, gritty realism and paranormal fantasy. It is well written but aside from the fact that the main characters were adolescents and the setting is high-school, it read much more like gritty adult fiction. I'm not sure I like that. There is graphic language, sex, alcohol and drug themes etc. etc. - all of which one assuredly finds in reality but would like not not to have to deal with in a teenage vampire series.
