Yeah, you've gotta check. There is a ton of sexual assult in the romance genre and I also avoid it like the plague.

I wish it was on the book like a rating. One of my favourite fantasy authors (Mercedes Lackey) had some pretty gruesome sexual assult in her Heralds of Valdemere series and I wasn't prepared for it at all. I have never returned to that series.

I read what I think was the first trilogy of books. Female main character. It was many years ago but I remember her being captured and then SA and etc., Especially having her foot broken.

I really like the Obsideon trilogy and the 500 Kingdoms series. There is an attempted SA but it gets shut down pretty quickly.

Edit: and my favourite series Elf bane which may never be completed...

Ah, I really love a good Fairy tale retelling, so 500 Kingdoms was right up my alley. But the Fables graphic novel series is probably better.

Elfbane makes me so sad because I really loved the whole series and it will probably never be finished.

But yeah, she's hit or miss.

Dammit I read the Arrows trilogy recently and I was so mad at that rape scene in book 3. Out of the clear blue. It wasn't graphic at all but it had me all kinds of messed up and MAD!!! I won't read any of hers again, either.

I kind of wish the person who lent it to me had warned me, I was in high school at the time!

Same with Outlander. The person who lent it to me didn't say a word!
