Comments about the Veritus lists

The Veritus list is supposed to be be from a Christian company. However, they do have a few books that I know I do not agree with letting kids read. So, disclaimer here, this is only a list that I compiled that I would like to look into. I have not reviewed any of these audio books and I do not know if they are appropriate or not.
