Bumble is a book for the young and the young at heart.  If you enjoyed Connie Suttle's 'Blood Destiny' series, you will probably enjoy Bumble as well.  Although, written for a younger age set of readers, this adult quickly fell in love with the mixed families of Cloud Chief, Ok.  The new characters introduced in Bumble are very easy to like.  I hope you will laugh as I did, at the antics of young werewolf and shapeshifter children.  Kids are kids regardless of their DNA.  Also, it seems peer pressure and bullying can be found everywhere.  Even Bumble's young main character (12 year old Ashe) occasionally goes against his better judgement and gives in to peer pressure. One life lesson he learns quickly is the consequences of doing so. It takes longer for Ashe to learn how to deal with a bully.  However, Ashe aquires a lot of maturity as he deals with adult issues.  For the first time in his young life he is faced with the death of age mates and older adults.  Ashe handles the attempted murder and resulting brief illness of his Mother with amazing courage. The knowledge his vampire father is so much more than he thought is also a shock he handles well.Also included in Bumble are the appearances of several characters from the Blood Destiny series.  This is a book that will please all ages, so am looking forward to reading the next book of this very interesting series.
