Two brothers recall being separated and physically and emotionally abused by their parents. Students are stabbed, beaten, nearly strangled, drained of blood, burned, buried alive, and put through trials that include terrible pain.

There are brutal fights among supernatural creatures where one high school student dies from a crushed skull and others are gravely injured and given magical boosts to heal. The sexual content is milder - kissing is less fun when your brother is always watching - while violence is about at the same level as Book 1.

Here, though, two hot vampire brothers vie for Grace's attention - one of whom is trapped in her head, is possibly evil, and bickers with her constantly. This one will even remind you of the second Twilight book, New Moon, because of the introduction of a love triangle. Parents need to know that Crush is the second book in a series that will remind you very much of Twilight. Pepper, Oreos, M&Ms, and Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream.
