could a mature 12 year old read 'cast in firelight'?

There is no cursing, there isn't any sex (the romance stops at kissing) and the violence within the fight scenes are very much like a superhero movie. There are discussions about drugs and drug addiction, though it is a made up fantasy substance and the main characters are fighting to stop the distribution and use. There is also some discussion about sexual harassment as well, but sexual assault is never on the page. Hope that helps! (less)

Hi Dana! I just wanted to make sure that you were able to receive my email about the preorder okay. I don't use gmail or yahoo mail so sometimes my emails are auto-labeled as junk or spam. I went to your website but it doesn't have a contact form. I'm also having issues with signing up for your newsletter since MailChimp gives me a server error. Would you please let me know if you received my email? Thank you. :)
