Georgia is likewise a wonderful character. But your safety means the world to me, and that changes everything in my mind." HALLELUJAH! Finally, a parental character in ya with some common sense! Or at least the strength of character to insist that their child be honest and forthcoming with information.
If it weren't for the fact that being close to him and his kindred put you in danger, I would count it an honor to be associated with them. Papy has a lovely quote on page 71 stating, "I know that Vincent and his kind are here to help humanity. I love how concerned they are about the whole "my granddaughter is dating a zombie" thing. Mamie and Papy are so caring and so interested in their granddaughters' lives in addition to having their own. I get really tired of the ya trope where familes are clueless at best and horrific and evil at the worst.
One of the best things about the entire series is the incredible supporting cast. I feel pretty unresolved where Jules is concerned, but I hold out hope that maybe one day Amy will go back to the revenants and give us more Jules. I have never really considered the series to be much of a love triangle (simply because I don't think Kate ever sees Jules as a viable romantic option and as the series is set from Kate's pov, it's hard for me as a reader to take a different view from her first-person narration) so I think Jules should have stuck around IISD more. Team Vincent vs Team Jules aside, Jules is an awesome character, and I really wish Amy had used him a bit more. I do have a couple of complaints for IISD and one of them is that Vincent, who kind of DIED at the end of Until I Die is so much more present than Jules. Regardless of awareness of his feelings, there are just things that you should never ask your best friend and I'm pretty sure possessing his body so you can comfort your girlfriend is at the top of that list. I kinda think shame on Vincent and Kate for asking that of Jules. Or DID I? You all know to what I'm referring because you just read it.
