  • Read Adair Family, then The Highlands, then Scottish Isles for the clearest Scottish romantic-suspense continuity.
  • Read War of the Covens, Warriors of Ankh, Fire Spirits, True Immortality, and Seven Kings of Jinn by series order.
  • S. Young titles are part of Samantha Young’s bibliography, but they belong to the paranormal and fantasy side of the catalog.
