Question 1

Reading Order of the Addicted Series

Accepted Answer

Addicted to You 
Ricochet 
Addicted for Now 
Kiss the Sky
Hothouse Flower
Thrive 
Addicted After All
Fuel the Fire 
Long Way Down 
Some Kind of Perfect

The Addicted series also contains the Calloway Sisters spin-off series, but we considered the entire Addicted series to be the combined 10 book series. The Addicted series follows three Calloway sisters: Lily, Rose, and Daisy.

🩷 The recommended reading order of all 10 books is the order of publication. 🩷

Prefer to read a shorter series and want to start with Rose? We wrote the Addicted series to where you can just read Rose & Daisy's stories (the Calloway Sisters series) separate from Lily's story. Below is the reading order for the Calloway Sisters series:

Kiss the Sky
Hothouse Flower
Fuel the Fire 
Long Way Down 
Some Kind of Perfect

If you only want to read Lily's story, you can also just read her books in this order:

Addicted to You 
Ricochet 
Addicted for Now 
Thrive 
Addicted After All

Check out the Addicted Series Timeline to see how the books flow narratively in chronological order.

The Addicted series is complete at 10 books.

Question 5

What are the future love interests in the Cobalt Empire Series?

Accepted Answer

If you have questions about unconfirmed or confirmed possible pairings/love interests in the future Cobalt Empire series, confirmed "love matches" are mentioned in the Addicted Series Family Tree.

Question 6

Do I have to read DAMAGED LIKE US first in the Like Us Series or can I skip around?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend reading the Like Us series in the recommended reading order, beginning with Damaged Like Us. It's written in one continuous timeline, and the series is set up to be read in chronological order even though the POVs switch throughout 💗

However, you can try to read them out of order if you desire! You just might be a tad bit confused on certain events that take place in previous novels that are referenced and some character relationships that've evolved. If you'd like to jump in at a different spot and not begin with Maximoff & Farrow's romance, these are the books where the character POVs change:

- Tangled Like Us (Jane & Thatcher)
- Charming Like Us (Oscar & Jack) 
- Wild Like Us (Akara, Sulli, Banks) 
- Misfits Like Us (Luna & Donnelly)

Question 7

Where can I read Connor & Rose's First Date?

Accepted Answer

This bonus scene, as well as other bonus material, are exclusively in the print editions of the Addicted series, published by Berkley Romance.

You can find Connor & Rose's First Date bonus in the back of the Berkley edition of Addicted for Now.

It is complete at 13 books.

Question 9

It is complete at 10 books.

Question 10

Adding more books to the Circus Is Family Series?

Accepted Answer

We hope to one day return to the Aerial Ethereal Universe and the Kotova family, but as of right now, we haven't committed to any more books in the series.

Question 11

Adding more books after Love & Other Cursed Things?

Accepted Answer

As of right now, the Mistpoint Harbor universe consists solely of the standalone romance Love & Other Cursed Things. We don't have plans at the moment to add more, but we would love to one day return and write Babette & Colt's romance. That is something on our minds!

Question 12

How can I get character notes in a signed paperback of your books?

Accepted Answer
