DH reading order with LoA etc

[Katelyn]

The reading order contains: Lords of Avalon, and so on, as they are part of the Dark Hunter universe.

What order to read DH - including LoA HH WH DC etc as they are part of DH

Sherrilyn Kenyon's official website helped with this thread.

I believe novellas are optional in the sense that you don't need to read them to fully understand and appreciate the series. So I've decided to leave out the novellas.

The world is built and characters are introduced, some people have been confused reading the Dragon books because it involved LoA, which they haven't read. I'm one of those people which was why I created this list.


1) Fantasy Lover - Julian and Grace

2) Night Pleasures - Kyrian and Amanda

3) Night Embrace - Talon and Sunshine

4) Dance with the Devil - Zarek and Astrid

5) Kiss of the Night - Wulf and Cassandra

6) Sword of Darkness - Kerrigan and Seren

7) Knight of Darkness - Varian and Merewyn

8) Night Play - Vane and Bride

9) Seize the Night - Tabitha and Valerius

10) Sins of the Night - Danger and Alexion

11) Unleash the Night - Wren and Maggie

12) Dark Side of the Moon- Ravyn and Susan

13)The Dream Hunter - Arik and Geary

14) Devil May Cry - Sin and Katra

15) Upon the Midnight Clear - Aidan and Leta.

Personally this book felt really blah to me and I didn't think it was crucial to the series, but since it is not a novella, it's been listed

16) Dream Chaser - Xypher and Simone

17) Acheron - Ash and Tory

18) One Silent Night - Stryker and Zephyra

19) Dream Warrior - Jericho and Delphine

20) Deadmen Walking - Devyl Bane and there doesn't seem to be a heroine

21) Death Doesn't Bargain - Kalder and Cameron

22) Bad Moon Rising - Fang and Aimee

23) No Mercy - Dev and Samia

24) Retribution - Jess and Abigail

25) The Guardian - Seth and Lydia

26) Time Untime - Ren and Kateri

27) Styxx - Styxx and Bethany

28) Son of No One - Cadegan and Jo

29) Dragonbane - Maxis and Seraphina

30) Dragonmark - Illarion and Edilyn - You can skip most of this book, because most of it is just rewritten from Dragonbane.

31) Dragonsworn - Falcyn and Medea

32) Battleborn - Urian and Pheobe

Some of the novellas/shorts add a lot of info in. Like the House of the Rising Sun one. I strongly recommend that one before (or immediately after) Styxx. Some though are just couples getting together that you never see again.

I'd also add the CoN books in, as they help give a lot of universe backstory too.

The CON books are their own series really.

These books are all part of the Dark Hunter series.

As the Dark Hunter series has so many different worlds involved in it.

Of course some novellas are the exception to the rule but for simplicity's sake I have decided not to include them.

Granted CON is connected. But it is not an official part of the DH series, whereas the books above are.
