I just finished the 'Legend of the Ir'Indicti' series by Connie Suttle and have immediately gone on to start to start the Blood Destiny series which is the highest praise I can think of for an author. That and the fact that I finished the last two books in this series in one night, staying up until 3 am, huddled under the covers as I tried not to wake my husband with the light from my ipad. I found the series inventive, fun, and well written with likeable, characters you can empathize with. Ms. Suttle especially does a great job through the series with her main character Ashe, starting with the first book when he is a young pre-adolescent who has a best friend and (unusual) family who loves and supports him but still feels out of place in his supernatural community. Ashe is likeable, smart and not at all irritating while still acting like a believable child and eventual teenager throughout the series.
I'm always a bit leery of independent authors as so many seem to think it's okay to publish with many spelling errors and scary, scary grammar. Thankfully this author, who per her bio page is a college graduate who has taught university level classes, has done a very good job of editing in her books with spelling and grammar errors at a minimum. I only noticed a few through the series which is about on par for large publishing house book releases these days.
I really like her take on the whole supernatural community, vampires, weres and shifters, oh my, and how they interact with each other and the humans. And I am very interested to continue with her other series as at least some appear to focus on characters who were either actually in, or have been mentioned in, this series.
I will say there are many, many supporting characters in these books and at times you can begin to lose track of some of them if you're not paying close attention.
Finally, this is a young adult series focusing on children who eventually turn to teens. There is violence and death in this series but I found it was not graphic or gratuitous, it did not glamorize violence and it felt natural to the world these kids inhabit.
