Kindred is a self-published series by Erica Stevens. It is available free on the Amazon store for your Kindle.
Cassie is a beautiful vampire hunter who wishes to be normal. Devon is one of the oldest vampires in existence, and they feel an immediate pull towards each other. Both are desperate to keep each other out of the world of death and violence that each of them are firmly entrenched in.
Stevens is a good writer. Her other series have been some of my favorite self-publishers, and I did follow the Captive series to completion. But first, I must start with the bad. Like most self-publishers, there are quite a few editing mistakes. Some of the worst are the improper uses of "then" and "than." Alongside those are the basic misspellings, mis-placed punctuation, and awkward wording that doesn't quite make sense. Although these may seem minor, the writing is what makes a book, and the editing errors detract from the plotline, and make it seem much more amateur, unfortunately. The last thing I have to mention is how short they are. Barely above 200 pages, the books go by in a flash. Like most self-publishing series, the rest cost around $3. I was dismayed to find that the next is also only 200 pages. This detracts a lot, in my opinion, from the author themselves. It feels like buying mini-stories, and she's doing it to stretch out the series and make more money from it.
Aside from my revision rant, the storyline was interesting and fun. The characters aren't a total bore, and the dialogue flows nicely. Although it is another of those instantaneous love/infatuation stories, I'm a sucker for those, so I did enjoy it. Unfortunately there isn't much substantial to say. It isn't the most original story, but it's still good, like a retold classic.
