Indeed. If we want an example of an LDS genre author worthy of praise it would be Sanderson.

Fevre dream was a one of the first that came to my mind as well. It was a great book, and thought she'd like the vampires. But do you think it's a bit mature for her? I mean, I don't know, I'm sure kids now a days are learning far worse things in school, so I doubt that I'll be destroying her innocence.
Still.. Martin can be pretty dark.
I guess I'm just being sexist though, as I had no problem at all giving old copies of AGOT to my little brother.

No problem! :) Glad I could help. As for Fevre Dream, I had the same concern. With my sister it's different: I made her read ASOIAF and she ended up loving it (though the gods only know why she insists on re-reading Eragon and pursuing Twilight - I guess they are just fluffier and more cheerful and more in line with what her peers are reading), which is why I feel safe recommending Fevre Dream. For someone who is not exposed to GRRM, I guess other vampire novels would suit better. Unfortunately, I have hardly read anything in vampire literature, so I can't think of anything on that score.
