Plus, I like when your characters grow up to be big and strong. LOL.
Power creep isn't a bad thing, not when the enemy is powerful enough to meet that power, or there's a greater demon around to take them down a peg or two. I think some people confuse that, the problem comes in when the character is so strong they don't get challenged, and things come too easy. That's a statement that will never apply to your characters, all of them struggle and suffer in some way or another, and that's good reading.

As for "power creep", you should try your hand at a chinese style "cultivation" novel / series. Power creep and some form of cheat like ability that makes the MC grow at some ridiculous rate is basically a fundamentally required trope for that, but whenever you've trampled everyone in the world into the ground, you can just let your MC ascend to the next higher plane of existence, where the poor guy starts at the bottom again.

Three (Edit: There) is an issue with power creep over time, that I'm making an effort to fight. Imperfectly, I fear...

Troy was enslaved to Finias, the Mind Taker. Not Tarsus the Librarian... (Tarsus is busy doing other things, in the current work...)
Ther are several new "master Vampires" that Eve and Ginger have taught, with far fewer brand new Vampires quickly reaching that state, due to training. We're at about five now, I think?
Troy IS line walker, but is off scene, doing things right now. Setting up for his own book...
He's not Eve, however. He's Troy. Powerful, but not pushing into realms that would drive any Greater Demons to distraction in particular.

Not sure about Troy, all that was alluded to in other books was that he was already a master level vampire. As far as extra skills or training from being best friends with Zack, sleeping with the rotted, and of course Eve herself, not to mention the librarian (who used to own him), Darla, and Keeley, I imagine we'll have to wait and see for his story and his books, if Dale writes them. I don't recall anything out of the ordinary outside of Eve training him to be a master in a short time, something she's done for a lot of young vampires. I don't believe he's a line walker either, just his alternate self is... I think. Unless I missed something or forgot?
Eve is awesome, not sure if Troy can live up to that... LOL. Point being, he certainly has a lot of greater demons in his life to help him along, if he's smart enough and driven enough to do it.
Still, that's a good thing, he needs to be a mostly normal vampire when his story starts, so he has room to grow.
