Molly Harper Books in Order (Updated April 22, 2026)

The easiest way to read Molly Harper is to decide how much continuity you want. If you want the most interconnected supernatural comedy, start with Jane Jameson and continue into Half-Moon Hollow. If you want paranormal romance with lighter crossover pressure, choose Mystic Bayou, Starfall Point, or Moonshadow Cove. If you want contemporary small-town romance, go to Southern Eclectic or Bluegrass.

If you want mystery, her current mystery lane begins with A Proposal to Die For and continues with A Cute Little Murder in April 2026. Molly Harper’s FAQ also says there are currently no plans for more Half-Moon Hollow, Naked Werewolf, Southern Eclectic, Mystic Bayou, Sorcery & Society, or Starfall Point books, which makes those lines easier to present as finished or paused reading paths.

If you want the classic Molly Harper experience

Start with Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs.

That opens the Jane Jameson books, which lead naturally into the broader Half-Moon Hollow world. Goodreads explicitly relates Moonshadow Cove to Jane Jameson, Half-Moon Hollow, Mystic Bayou, Naked Werewolf, and Starfall Point, which is a good sign that Harper’s paranormal catalog works best as nearby clusters rather than one strict mega-sequence.

Jane Jameson / Nice Girls

1. Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs (2009): Jane Jameson’s accidental transformation into a vampire opens Harper’s best-known comic-paranormal world and is still the cleanest first entry.
2. Nice Girls Don’t Date Dead Men (2009): Jane’s second outing deepens her undead social life and makes the series’ town-and-cast continuity much clearer.
3. Nice Girls Don’t Live Forever (2009): The third book pushes the vampire complications wider while keeping Jane’s voice and relationship chaos front and center.
4. Nice Girls Don’t Bite Their Neighbors (2012): The original Jane quartet closes by paying off the running neighborhood, romance, and vampire-community threads.

Half-Moon Hollow

1. The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires (2012): This spin-off opens the wider Half-Moon Hollow lane and is the best next stop after Jane Jameson.
2. Driving Mr. Dead (2012): A short connected road-trip entry that works as bonus world-building between the bigger novels.
3. A Witch’s Handbook of Kisses and Curses (2013): The world expands beyond vampires, proving Half-Moon Hollow is a broader supernatural town rather than a single-couple extension.
4. Undead Sublet (2013): A shorter bridge story that fits between the early Hollow books and rewards readers already comfortable with the setting.
5. I’m Dreaming of an Undead Christmas (2014): A holiday novella that is clearly side material, but it keeps the town’s recurring cast alive between novels.
6. The Dangers of Dating a Rebound Vampire (2015): The series returns to full-length form with another town-centered romance that builds on the established supernatural community.
7. The Single Undead Moms Club (2015): The Hollow books keep proving they are connected standalones, with recurring faces giving the later books more payoff.
8. Fangs for the Memories (2015): A short prequel-style or side-angle piece that works best once you already know the Hollow cast.
9. Where the Wild Things Bite (2016): The supernatural scope widens again, keeping the series fresh while staying in the same comic-romance universe.
10. Big Vamp on Campus (2016): A bonus novella that extends the Half-Moon Hollow world without changing the main order.
11. Accidental Sire (2017): One of the later main novels, best read after the earlier town books because the ensemble matters more by this point.
12. Peace, Blood and Understanding (2018): The last listed Half-Moon Hollow novel closes the currently published main run.
13. Nice Werewolves Don’t Bite Vampires (2020): A later crossover novella that is best treated as dessert for existing paranormal-world readers, not as a starting point.

If you want standalones that still feel like Molly Harper

Pick one of the shorter paranormal clusters instead of diving into Half-Moon Hollow.

Naked Werewolf

1. How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf (2011): A snowy Alaska-set paranormal romance that works as a clean standalone entry into Harper’s werewolf side.
2. The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf (2011): The second book stays in the same werewolf world and confirms the series as a small connected trio.
3. How to Run with a Naked Werewolf (2013): The final book closes the Alaska werewolf run and keeps the same light, comic-paranormal tone.

Mystic Bayou

1. How to Date Your Dragon (2018): This Audible-born series opens a quirky supernatural Louisiana town where dragons, humans, and local politics all mix.
2. Love and Other Wild Things (2018): The second book widens the town’s creature roster and confirms the series’ connected-standalone rhythm.
3. Even Tree Nymphs Get the Blues (2019): Harper keeps the world playful while leaning into the oddball local ecology of Mystic Bayou.
4. Selkies Are a Girl’s Best Friend (2020): The series continues to rotate leads while keeping the same town-centered continuity.
5. Always Be My Banshee (2020): Another creature-centered romance that deepens the town without requiring a single fixed protagonist.
6. One Fine Fae (2021): A shorter later entry that still fits the same supernatural-neighbor charm.
7. Shifters in the Night (2022): The series heads into its late stage with the same ensemble payoff readers expect from Harper’s town books.
8. A Farewell to Charms (2022): The currently listed final Mystic Bayou title gives the series a natural stopping point.

Starfall Point

1. Witches Get Stuff Done (2023): This Michigan-island witch romance opens a new magical small-town lane built around haunted antiques and family trouble.
2. Big Witch Energy (2024): The second book confirms Starfall Point as a proper trilogy rather than a one-off paranormal rom-com.
3. Never Been Witched (2025): Molly Harper’s own site calls this the third and final Starfall Point title, making it the clear end of the series.

Moonshadow Cove

1. The Wrong Witch to Hex With (2025): Harper’s official site describes this as a spin-off to the Starfall Point series, making Starfall Point the better starting point if you want maximum context.
2. Hex Around and Find Out (2025): The second Moonshadow Cove book continues the sea-witch branch and is already available in audio, with print and ebook to follow.
3. Generation Hex (2026): Harper’s new-books page lists this as book three, and Goodreads describes it as the finale of the series.

If you want contemporary romance instead of paranormal

This is the cleanest lane if you want Molly Harper’s humor without vampires, witches, or shifters.

Bluegrass

1. My Bluegrass Baby (2012): A contemporary romance opener that shows Harper’s voice works just as well without supernatural elements.
2. Rhythm and Bluegrass (2013): The second book keeps the same regional-romance feel and small-circle continuity.
3. Snow Falling on Bluegrass (2014): The trilogy closes with a winter-tinged romance that keeps the series compact and easy to finish.

Southern Eclectic

1. Save a Truck, Ride a Redneck (2017): Harper’s own chronological guide says this novella happens years before Margot arrives in Lake Sackett, making it the earliest story in-world.
2. Sweet Tea and Sympathy (2017): Harper calls this the start of the “current” timeline, so it is the best first full novel for most readers.
3. Peachy Flippin’ Keen (2018): A prequel novella to Frankie and Eric’s story that fits between the first and second main novels.
4. Ain’t She a Peach (2018): The second novel moves the focus to Frankie and Eric while keeping the McCready family center stage.
5. A Few Pecans Short of a Pie (2019): A wedding-and-HEA novella that bridges the gap before the last main book.
6. Gimme Some Sugar (2019): The third novel closes the main Southern Eclectic run with another McCready-centered romance.

If you want fantasy rather than romance-first paranormal

Sorcery and Society

1. Changeling (2018): Harper’s young-adult fantasy trilogy opens with a school-and-magic framework rather than adult rom-com paranormal.
2. Fledgling (2019): The second book expands the fantasy world and keeps the trilogy moving as one continuous arc.
3. Calling (2022): The third book finishes the currently listed Sorcery and Society sequence.

If you want Molly Harper’s newest work

Her newest active lane is split between mystery and the tail end of Moonshadow Cove.

Bantam Island mystery lane

1. A Proposal to Die For (2025): Harper’s official site calls this her first-ever murder mystery, about a proposal planner whose biggest job gets derailed by murder.
2. A Cute Little Murder (2026): Harper announced this as the next mystery, and retailer/Goodreads listings show an April 21, 2026 publication date. The site’s “Bantam Island” extras and book posts strongly suggest this is the same mystery setting continuing forward.
