There's just alot of language (several "sh*t"'s and one "F*ck") lots of violence,and sexual stuff but it is a different take on vampires than I'm used to and I liked it.

What Parents Need to Know
About Peeps
Parents need to know that there are a lot of sexual references, but nothing graphic, and nothing described. The plot hinges on the 19-year-old main character's loss of virginity and a sexually transmitted disease.

Good for pre-teens/teens
I LOVED this book! It's a little violent, refers to sex, and has a lot of bad language, though. I fell in love with all of the characters and couldn't stop reading! To read this book you should be mature. You should also not get scared easily! This book is a real romance-thriller. Peace.
