River Ramsey Books in Order (Updated May 29, 2026)

River Ramsey writes paranormal romance, reverse-harem romance, omegaverse romance, shifter romance, academy romance, and dark romantic suspense. Ramsey’s books are not arranged as one single shared universe, so the correct reading order depends on the series you choose.

The safest starting point is Their Rejected Mate, because Luna Rejected is a complete trilogy and gives new readers a clear, contained entry into Ramsey’s shifter-romance style.

Quick Answer

Read River Ramsey by series.

For a completed solo series, start with:

1. Their Rejected Mate
2. Their Banished Mate
3. Their Crowned Mate

For a completed academy series, start with:

1. Dark Gods
2. Wild Hunt
3. Deadly Game

For the newest ongoing Ramsey solo series, start with:

• Do You Even Hex, Bro?

Do not begin Bros and the Witch with book two or book three. It follows the same central characters and must be read in order.

Co-authored / separate catalogue listing.

• Brutal Boys (2020): A dark academy reverse-harem listing co-authored with J.M. Blackwood, best treated outside Ramsey’s main solo reading path.

Luna Rejected

Complete trilogy. Best starting point.

3. Their Crowned Mate (2023): The trilogy resolves Lavinia’s pregnancy, fae royalty, old pack conflict, and final reverse-harem relationship structure.

Hell School

Separate single-book continuity.

• Go to Hell (2021): A resurrected witch returns to a world where her old place has been taken, setting up a supernatural academy story that was not continued in a confirmed series.

Queen of Babylon

Separate continuity. Listing status is less consistent than Ramsey’s main series.

• The Witch’s Monsters (date uncertain): A witch-and-monsters reverse-harem premise appears in reader catalogues, but it should be treated as separate and not required for any Ramsey series.

Rossi Mafia

Complete duet. Read in order.

1. Wicked Prince (2022): A secret pregnancy ties the heroine to Lorenzo Rossi and his mafia family, setting up the duet’s central conflict.
2. Broken Princess (2022): The heroine runs to protect her unborn child, but Lorenzo’s pursuit forces the secret-baby mafia storyline to its resolution.

Lost Wolf

Separate single-book continuity.

• Wolf Daughter (2023): A shifter-romance listing under the Lost Wolf series name, with no confirmed later installments found during this update.

Velvet & Venom

Co-authored with Aria Stormborn. Separate continuity.

• Rockstar Omega (2024): A co-written omegaverse rockstar romance that should be kept separate from Fameverse and Ramsey’s solo series.

Fameverse

Co-authored with Harper Lennox. Mostly standalone, except the Rockstars duet.

1. Claimed by the Band (2025): A secret girl omega disguised as a male beta is pulled into the orbit of a famous band after an attack exposes a deeper threat.
2. Claimed by the Team (2025): A hockey pack and a commitment-wary beta collide through a matchmaking setup, making this a standalone sports omegaverse entry.
3. Claimed by the Psychos (2025): Two bonded omega assassins cross paths with a vigilante alpha pack, creating the darkest standalone entry in the Fameverse sequence.
4. Claimed by the Rockstars: Part One (2025): A hidden omega singer joins a masked rock band under pressure, beginning the only Fameverse story that must be read as a duet.
5. Claimed by the Rockstars: Part Two (2026): Bells’ secrets, scent matches, and past danger come fully into the open, completing the Rockstars duet.

Bros and the Witch

Ongoing series. Read in strict order.

1. Do You Even Hex, Bro? (2025): A scarred siphon witch flees her ex’s coven and is claimed by four chaotic wolf shifters at Stormvale University.
2. Do You Even Shift, Bro? (2026): The bond with the wolf pack deepens while the heroine’s former coven and the magical consequences of her power keep closing in.
3. Do You Even Curse, Bro? (2026): Portal magic, reanimated werewolf danger, and a desperate cure hunt raise the stakes for the same central pack.

A fourth installment is announced for July 2026, but the title was not reliably confirmed during this update.

Chronological Order

There is no useful single chronological order for all River Ramsey books. The series are separate continuities rather than one unified timeline.

Inside each connected series, publication order is the correct practical order. That applies to Throne of Wolves, Academy of the Gods, Cats of Felidae Academy, Luna Rejected, Rossi Mafia, Claimed by the Rockstars, and Bros and the Witch.
