TRS has decided that Schoolgirl Lesbians is no longer a valid trope. Removing all links to the page and changing them to more appropriate pages if one can be found
Deleted line(s) 57 (click to see context) :
* SchoolgirlLesbians: Zigzagged around. In the first book Diana claims that she is one and Claire's reaction is basically 'Since when?' Come the second book Sam takes advantage of his higher knowledge to reveal that her one limited sexual experience was with a guy and 'it wasn't his fault that it turned out so badly.' Yet in the third book her attraction to Kris seems to be genuine (and reciprocated) but by this stage Diana is out of high school so doesn't quite fit the schoolgirl half of the equation.

And then there's her sister and fellow Keeper Diana, a girl who's not too uptight about making sure that situations don't explode.
* ''The Second Summoning:'' Claire and Dean see if they can juggle a Keeper/Bystander relationship, but after they have TheirFirstTime, all kinds of metaphysical consequences spring up. Specifically in the form of a teen angel and teen demon. Diana comes to the rescue in her own unique way, and gets a pet.
* ''Long Hot Summoning:'' Diana's first summons after graduating from high school is to try and save a mall from becoming a portal to the Otherside. Claire joins her, along with Sam and a bunch of street kids turned elves. And she meets a girl. Meanwhile, Dean and Austin are at home dealing with troublesome guests.
The series ended due to [[AuthorExistenceFailure Muse Existence Failure]]: the series was inspired by Huff's geriatric cat Austin, and after he died she couldn't bear to continue the series any more.
