Trust is my second book, and the first book of my first series. Now that I’m working on my second series, I’m seeing my first series a little differently.

I think maybe Trust is actually a prequel. Jase & Laini are in every book. We learn more about them as the series progresses (and more still in my new series). In their own book, though, Jase & Laini spend most of their time in bed, or in front of the fireplace.

In Trust, we get glimpses of other characters, particularly Ghost, but the book is about how Laini & Jase learn to truly trust each other, and how Jase trusting Laini is different from Laini trusting Jase.

Jase & Laini share a special kind of magic. They're also essential to the strength of the found family in The Dive Shop.

Seeing Stars presents a broader picture, and has some of the best diving scenes in the series. Beneath the Bubbles can stand alone, but it’s the direct sequel to Seeing Stars. Bubbles sets the stage for Going Deep & Ascend, which share a timeline.

What do you think? Is Trust more of a prequel, or...?

Thanks for reading & pondering! God loves you + I appreciate you very, very much!
