I’ll also add the Demon’s Apprentice series by Ben Reeder. A surprisingly good supernatural YA, featuring Chance Fortunato, a boy who manages to escape forced servitude at the hands of the demon his father betrayed him to, but only after years of horrific abuse. The series is much less dark than it has any right to be, and even though I usually find books that have demons in them to be hoaky, this series pulls off the concept well. Fortunato is a literally damaged bad boy, but not necessarily a bad bad boy. Anyway, the series is included in KU and I’ve liked the series through the latest book.
And Emperor’s Edge by Lindsey Buroker. She’s a fine independent author who publishes on multiple platforms. She writes fantasy, steampunk and sci-fi, though I’m less enamored by her latest sci-fi than of her earlier works. The Emporer’s Edge is fantasy that is completely free on Kindle. No subscription required. It’s the first of a series, so it’s one of those “first taste is free” offers, and a great deal. I enjoyed the series, though my interest in the later books waned a bit.
