Catholic Readers discussion

I am excited to announce that PETER, the last book in THE VERITAS CHRONICLES trilogy, has just been released!

Thank you!

Excited to read this! Would this series be appropriate for my 14 year old daughter?

My pleasure, Christine.

Thank you so much, Theresa! Hope you enjoy THE VERITAS CHRONICLES. The books are actually YA! So, while they have been enjoyed by all ages, they are geared towards teens and young adults.

There really isn't much in the way of content. This isn't just because of the target age, but because I wouldn't want to read that sort of scene myself. So, nothing objectionable from a Catholic standpoint! I THIRST (Book 1) has no sexual references at all. There are two brief, pretty vague implications in THE ROSE AND THE SWORD (Book 2), but both are used for a greater purpose. Nothing explicit. Book 3 (PETER) is similar in that way: a brief scene that promotes chastity. Violence is also minimal. No gore and just adventure-related (ie. nothing above PG). No profanity. If you would like more details on the references in Books 2 and 3, I have included them below:

PARENT'S GUIDE (Sexuality)

I THIRST (Book 1): None

THE ROSE AND THE SWORD (Book 2): Mild

A male character who appears in one scene eyes the female protagonist inappropriately. This transitions to a vague discussion of purity among coworkers following his departure.

A girl is grabbed inappropriately (vaguely implied, but never specifically stated, as her behind (clothed)) when in an isolated, but public, area with two questionable males. She defends herself and flees. It is suggested, though never specifically verbalized, that more could have occurred if she had not managed to leave.

PETER (Book 3): Mild

Flashback scene: A young Catholic woman discovers that her boyfriend does not have the same morals as she does when he drives her to a hotel. When she realizes his intent, she will have no part in it. They do not enter the hotel, and details are kept to a minimum. He drives her back home upon her insistence, and *SPOILER* the relationship does not last /END SPOILER.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
