Even though the MCs orientation changed between the original and this version, there's still plenty of diversity (including BIPOC) with the other characters. Book 1 and 2 had relatively clean language, and there are no sex scenes, so young adults/new adults could read and enjoy them. It's an awesome paranormal series that is highly recommended.
