O.K. Being a mother of an 8 anno old and a 3 anno old, I know your concern. To figure this out, let me start da asking this...Did te let your 14 anno old read ALL four libri in The Twilight Saga? If te answered yes then The Host is perfectly fine and te have nothing to worry about. Even if te answered no, the most intimate chapters in The Twilight Saga makes anything remotely intimate in The Host seem even with Harry Potter romance. So finally, my answer to your domanda is...in my opinion....if te have a 14 anno old that wants to read anything written da Stephanie Meyer she can get her hands on, definitely encourage it all the way. If te still have any qualms about it, read it for yourself first and make your own judgement since te are the only one who knows your daughter well enough to know if she is ready for the book.(You will enjoy it too!) I hoped this helped te some.
