Thank you for visiting my book reviews. This page is exclusively for book reviews that are a part of a series. It is easy for writers to gain your trust with a first or second of a book in a series; however, I have been burned more than once by a series I trusted at first that subtly and not so subtly insert material and ideologies that I did not want my readers dwelling on. It is my heart that through these book reviews you can prevent similar surprises happening to you. Simply choose the series from the selection below to read my reviews for available books within that series.

I do not have a review of the following book series; however, I would stay away from them:
Wings of Fire Series by Tui T. Sutherland - LGBT relationships between a few dragons comes to fruition around book 13 in the series.
Legend Series by Marie Lu - LGBT relationship is hinted at in book two and has more development in book 3.
Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan - Full disclosure: I have not read ANY of the books in this series. However, I have heard from a fellow mom about a young reader who began to struggle with LGBT issues after reading this series. Due to the nature and difficulty of what transpired for that family, I felt it necessary to at least mention.
