As I pointed out to the librarian, it wasn't the violence or promiscuous sex that was the problem it was the unrelieved depressing "tone" of the book - that I felt made it an adult read. Often I think that Fantasy/SF is considered "children's stories" by definition because it is "not real". So stick it into the YA section. By the way - Ghost Sister was a good read, just one for grown ups or to discuss with a +15 year old reader.
