Mary Ann Weir Books in Order (Updated April 22, 2026)

Mary Ann Weir writes paranormal romance and fantasy romance in several separate series. The most important reading-order point is simple: Posy, the later Five Fangs novels, Thoreau, Tainted, Evermere, and The Eighth Seal should be treated as distinct tracks unless you specifically want to stay inside the broader Five Fangs world.

For most readers, the best place to begin is Mates: Posy: Book One. It is the clearest entry point, it opens her best-known sequence, and it gives you the cleanest foundation before any same-world companion books.

Quick answer

• Start with Mates: Posy: Book One (2023): The first Posy novel introduces the Five Fangs world, establishes the pack dynamics, and opens the core storyline that later books build on.
• Then read the rest of Posy in order. After that, move to the later Five Fangs novels if you want more stories from the same setting, and treat Thoreau, Tainted, Evermere, and The Eighth Seal as separate series.

Mary Ann Weir books in publication and series order

Posy

This is the safest place to start, and it works best in sequence.

1. Mates: Posy: Book One (2023): Posy’s story begins here, with the world, the central bond structure, and the emotional rules of the series all set in place from the start.
2. Luna: Posy: Book Two (2023): The second book expands Posy’s position inside the pack and turns the early setup into a more defined power and relationship arc.
3. Pack: Posy: Book Three (2023): This middle entry leans harder into pack identity and shared loyalty, making it an important bridge between setup and payoff.
4. Family: Posy: Book Four (2023): The story widens from immediate romance into questions of belonging, responsibility, and what Posy’s future is actually becoming.
5. Home: Posy: Book Five (2023): The final Posy novel brings the main sequence to its resolution and is best saved until you have read the previous four books in order.

Five Fangs

These books sit in the same broader world, but they are better treated as follow-up novels rather than part of the original Posy five-book arc.

6. The Beta’s Heart: A Five Fangs Novel (2025): This novel shifts focus away from Posy’s central sequence and works best as a same-world expansion after the original five books.
7. Gamma and Omega: A Five Fangs Novel (2025): The second later Five Fangs novel continues the broader-world approach, adding another character-centered story after the core Posy arc is already in place.

Thoreau

This is a separate series and should be read by internal numbering rather than by release date alone.

1. Finding Him (2024): The opening Thoreau book establishes the central relationship and sets the emotional direction for the series.
2. Keeping Him (2023): Despite the date oddity in some listings, this is consistently placed as book two and should be read second for continuity.
3. Wanting Him (2024): The third book builds on the earlier relationship groundwork and pushes the emotional tension further forward.
4. Loving Him (2024): This entry reads as the payoff stage of the Thoreau sequence, bringing the romantic arc toward completion.

Tainted

This is another separate series, and it looks designed to be read straight through without interruption.

1. Possessed: Tainted Book One (2025): The opener establishes the darker tone of the series and introduces the controlling, high-intensity energy that defines what follows.
2. Coerced: Tainted Book Two (2025): Book two raises the pressure and continues the series’ emphasis on strained power dynamics and emotional conflict.
3. Enslaved: Tainted Book Three (2025): The third installment deepens the series’ darker themes and feels like the point where the stakes become harder to reverse.
4. Enthralled: Tainted Book Four (2025): This book pushes the obsession and attachment elements further, carrying the sequence into its late-stage escalation.
5. Corrupted: Tainted Book Five (2025): The fifth book appears to bring the main transformation arc to a head and works best as the end of the Tainted run.

Evermere

This is a separate fantasy-paranormal sequence and should also be read in order.

1. Beyond the Hunt: Evermere Book One (2026): The first Evermere novel opens the setting, introduces its main conflict frame, and starts a newer branch of Mary Ann Weir’s catalog.
2. Where Shadows Rest: Evermere Book Two (2026): Book two continues the same storyline and appears to deepen both the worldbuilding and the darker side of the conflict.
3. And Dawns Endure: Evermere Book Three (2026): The third book serves as the current payoff point for the Evermere trilogy and completes the main sequence as presently listed.

The Eighth Seal

This is co-authored with Joshua Mitchell and should be kept separate from Mary Ann Weir’s solo series.

• Season of Deceit (2024): This opening volume belongs to a different collaborative continuity and is best approached as its own series start rather than folded into the others.

Recommended reading order

For a new reader, the clearest route is:

1. Mates: Posy: Book One (2023): Start here for the cleanest introduction to Mary Ann Weir’s best-known series world.
2. Luna: Posy: Book Two (2023): Continue directly to preserve the relationship and pack progression.
3. Pack: Posy: Book Three (2023): Read third because the middle-series developments build on the earlier pack structure.
4. Family: Posy: Book Four (2023): Keep going in order so the emotional and social expansion lands properly.
5. Home: Posy: Book Five (2023): Finish Posy’s core arc before moving into any same-world follow-up novels.
6. The Beta’s Heart: A Five Fangs Novel (2025): Read this next if you want a broader-world companion after the main Posy story is complete.
7. Gamma and Omega: A Five Fangs Novel (2025): Continue here for another later Five Fangs story set beyond the original Posy line.
8. Finding Him (2024): Then begin Thoreau as a separate romance sequence.
9. Keeping Him (2023): Follow the series numbering here rather than letting the date listing mislead you.
10. Wanting Him (2024): Continue in order to keep the relationship arc intact.
11. Loving Him (2024): Finish the Thoreau sequence before switching series.
12. Possessed (2025): Start Tainted here if you want a darker tonal lane next.
13. Coerced (2025): Read second to preserve the rising pressure of the series.
14. Enslaved (2025): Continue straight through because the sequence appears tightly linked.
15. Enthralled (2025): This carries the darker arc into its late-stage escalation.
16. Corrupted (2025): End the Tainted run here.
17. Beyond the Hunt (2026): Move to Evermere when you want the newer fantasy-paranormal branch.
18. Where Shadows Rest (2026): Read second to continue the same central conflict.
19. And Dawns Endure (2026): Read third for the current Evermere payoff.
20. Season of Deceit (2024): Read separately or last, since it belongs to a co-authored continuity.

Does chronological order matter?

Not much across the full catalog.

For Mary Ann Weir, series order is the useful order. The main goal is not to force every title into one franchise-wide timeline, but to avoid mixing together books that belong to different continuities or different levels of connection.

Do you need to read Five Fangs in a special way?

Yes. The safest rule is:

• Read the five Posy books first.
• Then read The Beta’s Heart and Gamma and Omega.

That order keeps the original arc intact and avoids turning later same-world books into a confusing starting point.

Are there novellas or short stories?

No separate standalone novella line was clearly established in the catalog sources used for verification.

There are signs of extra short-form material connected to the Five Fangs world, and some listings note bonus material attached to later books, but the main reading order remains centered on the core novels above.

Latest release status

The newest clearly listed Mary Ann Weir novels are the Evermere books and the later Five Fangs novels. As currently listed, And Dawns Endure is the third Evermere book, and I did not find a separately dated later solo Mary Ann Weir novel beyond the currently visible series entries.

FAQs

What is the first Mary Ann Weir book to read?

Mates: Posy: Book One (2023): It is the clearest entry point and opens the most established reading path in her catalog.

Is Posy the same thing as Five Fangs?

Not exactly. Posy is the original five-book arc, while The Beta’s Heart and Gamma and Omega are later Five Fangs novels in the same broader world.

Should I read Thoreau before or after Posy?

After is the safer choice. Thoreau is better treated as a separate series, while Posy is the cleaner starting point.

Which Mary Ann Weir series should I try after Posy?

Choose Thoreau for a more direct romance sequence, Tainted for a darker track, or Evermere for a newer fantasy-paranormal direction.

Final recommendation

Start with Mates: Posy: Book One (2023): It gives you the cleanest introduction to Mary Ann Weir’s worldbuilding, relationship structure, and strongest series entry path.

Then read the rest of Posy in order, follow with the later Five Fangs novels if you want more of that setting, and treat Thoreau, Tainted, Evermere, and The Eighth Seal as separate reading lanes rather than one combined master chronology.
