![]() ![]() (My own niece couldn't put the book down!) Kristina did some serious research into the teen reading world when she penned her novel, so I figured who better a person to sit down with to compile a "safe" reading list for teenage girls. She said, "My daughter was having a hard time finding books that were fun and entertaining without the dark themes or inappropriate content." She considers a book to be clean when "it has little or no profanity, sexual content, or drug and alcohol use." In Miranda's first adolescent novel, Perfume Princess, she did just that. First, she secretly borrows her mothers diamond wedding earrings.

![]() Qui, Gan’s older brother, is sent to call for help while Gan is told to slaughter and bring an animal for the Tlic hatchlings to eat once they are removed from Bram Lomas’s body. If the eggs are not removed from the host’s body before the gestating Tlics eat through their egg shells, they will begin to eat their Terran host from the inside out. She comes in with Bram Lomas, a Terran male who has been impregnated by a Tlic and whose eggs are ready to hatch. T’Gatoi rushes outside sensing something is wrong. ![]() In a flashback it is revealed that T’Gatoi and Gan’s mother Lien were good friends when they were young and that Gan was promised to T’Gatoi before he was even born. ![]() Gan knows very well how T’Gatoi, as ruler of the Preserve, protects all of the Terrans from the masses of Tlic, and how the Terrans are all indebted to her. Gan’s father frequently drank eggs and lived longer than most Terrans, giving birth to Tlics three times and to Terrans four times. Gan’s mother, Lien, initially refuses to drink the egg but she later gives in when T’Gatoi chides her for letting old age catch up with her because the eggs can prolong life. Gan and his family drink the sterile Tlic eggs, which for Terrans have a pleasant, intoxicating and even invigorating effect. ![]() T’Gatoi is politically a significant entity in ensuring the safe survival of the Terrans in this alien world. A Terran named Gan is soon expected to be implanted with the eggs of a female Tlic named T’Gatoi. ![]() ![]() ![]() A few times while reading this my thoughts were “Oh, when I talk to him I’m going to give him a piece of my mind” followed within a few minutes with “oh thank god” or “man… he got me again!”. Seven books into the Hell Divers series Smith is still able to pull at my heartstrings and give me both moments I’ve been scared of and moments that I didn’t expect. Hell Divers VII: Warriors was one of those books that jumps off of the pages and into your heart. If you want to connect with him on social media here are some links.
