@chessiezappia.bsky.socialMy very good Demon Era advertisement
@chessiezappia.bsky.socialHeyooo definitely nothing gets super weird and messed up in the Children of Hypnos series. For sure for sure not. Definitely wouldn't be a great read for this spooky season.

@chessiezappia.bsky.socialDemon Era is not YA. The characters start at 20 and end around 40. The themes aren't YA. There are full sex scenes. If you're an adult enjoyed my YA, you'll enjoy Demon Era, but it wasn't intended for teenagers. It's also not a romance just because a woman wrote it and there's a romance in it.
