Do you mean does it have adult/sexual content? Not really, her books are fairly tame.

So, a teen reader _could_ read her books, but they're not written specifically for teens.

I'd say pretty much any of her books are written for intelligent women to enjoy, but men are certainly free to come along for the ride. She has written for at least one predominantly "male" market (Star Wars books).

Her other (non-vampire) books tend to be varying blends of sci-fi and fantasy. Mostly fantasy but with occasional bits of tech sneaking in here and there.
You were right the first time; I was asking if it was targeted at YA. Like Roswell books were and some others I need not mention. I am not looking for adult/sexual content but rather something that doesn't talk down to me. I have been disappointed with many in the past and it would take a strong recommendation to get me to get into something new of a speculative nature...
