The Holly Gibney Books in Order begin with Mr. Mercedes, not Holly. I recommend publication order: the Bill Hodges trilogy, The Outsider, the title novella in If It Bleeds, Holly, and Never Flinch.
That’s six novels and one novella following Stephen King’s private investigator. The cases mix crime, psychological suspense, and supernatural horror, while …
The Lightlark Series in Order begins with Lightlark, followed by Nightbane, Skyshade, and Crowntide. For a first read, I recommend adding the Grim and Oro companion after Skyshade and before Crowntide.
Alex Aster’s main novels tell one continuous story. Grim and Oro adds two companion stories, while collector’s editions reprint the novels with bonus material. …
The Crescent City series order is simple: read the three published books in publication order, beginning with House of Earth and Blood. Sarah J. Maas has confirmed that a fourth book is planned, but it does not have an official title or release date.
The series follows half-human, half-Fae Bryce Quinlan through the modern fantasy world of Midgard. It …
The A Court of Thorns and Roses book series order follows publication order, beginning with A Court of Thorns and Roses. Sarah J. Maas’s fantasy-romance series, usually shortened to ACOTAR, has five published books, including the novella A Court of Frost and Starlight. Books 6 and 7 are scheduled for 2026 and 2027.
Feyre Archeron is taken …
The Caraval Series in Order can look more complicated than it first appears. Stephanie Garber’s fantasy world includes the original novels, an illustrated holiday story, collector’s editions with bonus material, and a separate series that follows one of Caraval’s most important characters.
Some of these books continue the larger story, while others are optional extras or reissues rather than new …
The Naturals Series in Order includes five full-length novels and the novella Twelve. For the simplest reading order, start with The Naturals and continue through Killer Instinct, All In, Bad Blood, and Dangerous Impulses before finishing with Twelve.
Publication order places Twelve before Dangerous Impulses, but I recommend saving the novella for last on …
The Riley Sager books in order are straightforward: all ten thrillers under that name are standalone novels, beginning with Final Girls in 2017 and continuing with the forthcoming The Unknown in 2026. You can start anywhere, but I recommend publication order if you expect to read them all because Sager slips small references to earlier cases and locations into later …
If you’re looking for Kate Burkholder series in order, Sworn to Silence is the first book. From there, I recommend following Linda Castillo’s Amish-country mystery series in publication order. Each murder investigation reaches a resolution, but Kate’s relationships, family history, and life in Painters Mill continue across the books.
The short stories are optional, but they add compact cases …
If you’re looking for the Charlie Parker books in order, publication order is the best choice for a first read. John Connolly gives each novel its own case, but Parker’s personal history, his relationships with Angel and Louis, and the supernatural conflict surrounding him all build from book to book.
This guide covers both publication and chronological order, including …
If you’re like me, you’ve just finished watching Project Hail Mary and then you realized the same author who wrote it also wrote The Martian. That’s led you to go looking for Andy Weir books in order, wondering if there are more science fiction epics for you to fall into.
Weir’s stories work because they turn science problems into …
