Thayer King Books in Order (Updated March 30, 2026)

Thayer King writes romance across several distinct shelves: paranormal romance, futuristic romance, fantasy romance, and shorter contemporary stories. This is not the kind of bibliography that works best as one giant publication list with no context. The better approach is to choose the branch that fits your mood and then read that series straight through.

The biggest current series lines are Stone Pack, Bioexpa Match, Princesses, and Witch Hunters. There are also several short standalones, novellas, and collections that are better treated as extras instead of being forced into the main order.

Where to Start

1. For the easiest paranormal romance entry point, begin with:
   Her Sweet Alpha (2019): This opens Stone Pack and is the clearest modern on-ramp if you want wolf-shifter romance first.
2. Readers who want a futuristic romance series should start with:
   Sienna & Jacob (2015): Bioexpa Match is one of the more structured connected series in the backlist and a good choice if you want sci-fi setup with relationship continuity.
3. If fantasy romance is the main draw, go with:
   Whimsy (2012): This starts the Princesses series and is the best place to begin if you want a fairy-tale or fantasy-kingdom branch.
4. Those who prefer paranormal romance with witches rather than shifters can try:
   Acting Witchy (2012): Witch Hunters is an earlier trilogy and works best for readers who want a completed supernatural sequence.
5. For a quick sample without committing to a series, pick:
   His Fantasy (2020): This is one of the cleaner standalone-style entry points if you want to test the author’s tone first.

Stone Pack should be read in order

This is the most obvious current paranormal shelf, and it is one of the best places for new readers to begin.

1. Her Sweet Alpha (2019): A human woman and alpha werewolf Dade Stone begin the series with a fated-mate setup that establishes the pack world.
2. Her Perfect Mate (2023): The second Stone Pack book stays in the same shifter universe and builds best once the first pack dynamics are already in place.
3. Her Lone Wolf (2026): This upcoming third book is positioned as Matt’s story, making it the current next stop for readers following the series forward.

Bioexpa Match is one of the clearest connected series

If you want the most visibly sequential science-fiction branch, this is the line to read.

1. Sienna & Jacob (2015): The series opens in the year 2100 and begins the Bioexpa relationship-matching setup.
2. Karizma & Devin (2015): The second book continues the same future-world matchmaking framework with a new central couple.
3. Haven & Scott (2015): This installment expands the Bioexpa world while keeping the series’ match-based structure intact.
4. Aryanna & Dexter (2018): The fourth book returns to the series after a gap and works best after the earlier three are already familiar.
5. Anaya & Niall (2025): This long-delayed fifth entry continues the Bioexpa line and is the newest fully released book in that series.

Princesses is the fantasy shelf

This is the better choice if you want a more kingdom-based or fairy-tale-adjacent line rather than paranormal or futuristic romance.

1. Whimsy (2012): Princess Whimsy Featherstone opens the series with the lightest and oldest entry point in this fantasy branch.
2. Chaldor (2017): The second book deepens the royal-family angle and belongs after Whimsy rather than as a separate starting point.
3. Dark (2021): The third Princesses novel continues the royal romance line and is best saved until the earlier books are done.

Witch Hunters is an earlier completed trilogy

This series is useful for readers who want a finished supernatural run instead of an active ongoing one.

1. Acting Witchy (2012): The first Witch Hunters book begins the trilogy with witches and paranormal conflict rather than pack or kingdom romance.
2. Writing Witchy (2013): The middle book continues the supernatural thread and should be read after the opener.
3. The Last Witch Hunter (2014): The trilogy ends here, making this the natural stopping point for the series.

Standalone novels and one-off reads

These titles are better treated as separate books rather than folded into one of the named series above.

• The Makeover (2016): A contemporary romance built around personal change and attraction, best read as a stand-alone.
• The Girl Across the Hall (2016): Another separate romance title that does not appear to sit inside one of the main series lines.
• I Want You Back (2016): A second-chance style standalone shelf book rather than part of a longer connected order.
• Undeniable (2017): A one-off contemporary romance title best kept outside the series paths.
• His Fantasy (2020): A later standalone that works well as a quick test read for the author’s voice.

Shorter works, novellas, and extras

These are optional rather than essential.

Friends Collection

1. Friends (2011): A short romance that starts this tiny two-book grouping.
2. Winning Dawn (2011): The second Friends Collection entry continues that short-form shelf.

Other short fiction

• The Matchmaker (2012): A short romance piece, better treated as an extra than a major series stop.
• Deceived (2013): A novella-length entry outside the main headline series.
• Possessed (2013): Another shorter paranormal-leaning work best classed as optional reading.
• The Deal (2014): A short standalone-style romance for readers who want a quick read.
• The Arrangement (2015): Another shorter work that sits outside the main series branches.
• Chatting with a Vampire (2019): A short paranormal romance extra that is not part of Stone Pack.

Collections and anthologies

These should be shelved separately from the core reading order.

• The Tanner Bride Tales (2012): A collection rather than a normal series entry.
• Just Vamps (2013): An anthology with multiple authors, so it is not part of Thayer King’s solo-series continuity.

The best reading order for most readers

There is no single mandatory order across the whole Thayer King bibliography. For most readers, the best route is to start with the strongest current lane and then branch out.

Best all-around path

1. Her Sweet Alpha (2019): Start here for the clearest modern paranormal entry point.
2. Her Perfect Mate (2023): Continue while the Stone Pack world is still fresh.
3. Her Lone Wolf (2026): Move here next if you are reading the series forward.
4. Sienna & Jacob (2015): Then shift to Bioexpa Match for a more futuristic romance line.
5. Karizma & Devin (2015): Continue in series order.
6. Haven & Scott (2015): Read third in Bioexpa Match.
7. Aryanna & Dexter (2018): Keep the later Bioexpa expansion in place.
8. Anaya & Niall (2025): Finish the currently released Bioexpa books here.

Best completed-series path

1. Acting Witchy (2012): Start here if you want a fully complete trilogy.
2. Writing Witchy (2013): Continue in order.
3. The Last Witch Hunter (2014): Finish the trilogy here.

Best fantasy-first path

1. Whimsy (2012): The proper starting point for the Princesses books.
2. Chaldor (2017): Read second for continuity.
3. Dark (2021): Finish the current Princesses run here.

Do you need a chronological order?

Not really.

Thayer King’s books work better in series order than in one forced chronology. Stone Pack, Bioexpa Match, Princesses, and Witch Hunters are separate enough in concept and setting that blending them into one timeline would not make reading easier. The cleanest approach is simple: finish one shelf before moving to the next.

Latest release status

The newest fully released Thayer King novel currently confirmed is Anaya & Niall (2025) in Bioexpa Match. Current listings also show Her Lone Wolf (2026) as the next Stone Pack book, and a February 11, 2026 author update says this is Matt’s book and that the author was still hoping to finish it before the end of 2026. That makes Her Lone Wolf better treated as an announced upcoming title rather than a finished release.

Common questions readers ask

Which Thayer King book should I read first?

For most readers, Her Sweet Alpha is the best first book because it opens one of the strongest current series and gives a clear sense of the author’s paranormal-romance side.

What if I want science-fiction romance instead?

Start with Sienna & Jacob and read the Bioexpa Match books in order.

Is Princesses connected to Stone Pack?

No. Those should be treated as separate continuities.

Which Thayer King series is complete?

Witch Hunters appears to be a completed trilogy, making it the safest choice if you only want a finished series.

Are the shorter books required?

No. Titles like Friends, The Matchmaker, Deceived, The Deal, and Chatting with a Vampire are optional extras rather than core continuity stops.

The simplest recommendation

If you want one decisive answer, begin with Her Sweet Alpha (2019) and continue with Stone Pack in order. If you would rather read a finished series, pick Acting Witchy (2012) and read the Witch Hunters trilogy straight through.
