Hi there! Thanks for wanting to dive into our books :) here is the reading order suggestions...
World of Solaria Reading Order:
Here’s a quick list of two reading orders for the crossover series. A lot of readers enjoy publication order so that they get the full Easter egg/crossover experience. Others prefer Timeline order: Ruthless Boys, Zodiac Academy, Darkmore Penitentiary. Still, others prefer to read series by series with Zodiac Academy being the first in the world of Solaria they discovered. There’s no right or wrong way to read!

We're currently working on a dark fantasy m/f romance with fairytale elements from Aladdin, Rapunzel and more! More info on that will be coming soon. It's called A Game of Malice and Greed. We have loooooads of ideas for other books, and will be focusing on a lot of fantasy in future so watch this space!
Caroline Peckham
We won't be writing a follow up, but we have decided to do a new series based in a different kingdom in the same world :)
Caroline Peckham
Yes, we are hoping to have hardcover options for all our books soon :)
Caroline Peckham
Yes we each write different characters :) we also alternate chapters so we both write 50% of the book. Although we write the POV chapters of characters, in our chapters we will also write each other's characters into it without needing input. We are very intuitive with each other's characters and have shared a few POVs including Gareth in Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac and Lionel and Geraldine in Zodiac Academy.
In Zodiac Academy I write Darcy, Orion, Seth, Xavier, and Susanne writes Tory, Darius, Max, Caleb.
In Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac I wrote the boys POVs and Susanne wrote Elise.
Darkmore Penitentiary I write the boys POVs and Susanne writes Rosalie.
Harlequin Crew I wrote the boys POVs and Susanne wrote Rogue.
The Dead Men Walking Duet I wrote Brooklyn and Susanne did the boys.
Kings of Quarantine I wrote Tatum and Susanne did the boys.
Forget-Me-Not Bombshell I wrote Anya and Susanne did the boys.
In Beautiful Carnage Susanne wrote Rocco and I wrote Sloan.
In Beautiful Savage Susanne wrote Nicoli and I wrote Winter.
I think that's all the books though I may be forgetting something haha xx
