Alyssa Day Books in Order (Updated April 22, 2026)

Alyssa Day’s bibliography makes more sense when you split it into eras and lanes. There is the original paranormal-romance core, led by Warriors of Poseidon. There are the later mystery and spinoff lines, especially Tiger’s Eye Mysteries and Cardinal Witches. Then there is the new romantasy launch, The Nobody Chronicles, which officially begins in June 2026. Her official site currently groups her books under The Nobody Chronicles, Warriors of Poseidon, Vampire Motorcycle Club, Tiger’s Eye Mysteries, Cardinal Witches, plus short stories and nonfiction.

For most readers, the safest starting point is still Atlantis Rising. It opens the best-known series, it introduces the world that later feeds into Cardinal Witches, and it is still the clearest entry to Alyssa Day’s paranormal-romance side. If you want paranormal mystery instead, start with Dead Eye. If you want the brand-new fantasy lane, start with Nobody’s Quest when it releases.

Quick answer

Pick your path like this:

• Start with Atlantis Rising for the classic Alyssa Day experience.
• Start with Dead Eye for the longest current mystery line.
• Start with Bane’s Choice if you want a short completed paranormal-romance trilogy.
• Start with Nobody’s Quest if you want the newest romantasy series and do not mind beginning with an upcoming release.

Best Alyssa Day reading order for most readers

This is the most practical route if you want the main solo bibliography without getting buried in every short story right away:

1. Atlantis Rising (2007): Opens Warriors of Poseidon and introduces the Atlantean world that anchors Alyssa Day’s best-known books.
2. Atlantis Awakening (2008): Continues the core paranormal-romance arc and is the proper second step in the series.
3. Atlantis Unleashed (2008): Keeps the main Poseidon sequence moving and should be read before the later connected books.
4. Atlantis Unmasked (2009): Expands the same world and is part of the main series spine, not an optional side trip.
5. Atlantis Redeemed (2010): Continues the principal Atlantean storyline and should be read in order.
6. Atlantis Betrayed (2010): Advances the series toward its late-stage run and works best after the earlier books.
7. Vampire in Atlantis (2011): Keeps the same world going and is still part of the main Warriors line.
8. Heart of Atlantis (2012): The last main Warriors of Poseidon novel currently listed on the official reading-order page.
9. Dead Eye (2014): Starts Tiger’s Eye Mysteries, a paranormal-mystery lane with shapeshifters, magic, and comedy rather than pure series romance.
10. Private Eye (2015): Continues the Dead End mystery sequence and should be read after book one.
11. Evil Eye (2016): The third full novel, keeping the same cast and town continuity in motion.
12. Eye of Danger (2017): Builds directly on the same paranormal-mystery setup and belongs in sequence.
13. Eye of the Storm (2018): Continues the main Tiger’s Eye line rather than starting a fresh sub-series.
14. Apple of My Eye (2019): Keeps the Dead End cast and mystery tone going.
15. Blink of an Eye (2020): Another direct continuation in the same town-and-cast sequence.
16. Eagle Eye (2021): Continues the series and should be read after the earlier books.
17. A Dead End Christmas (2021): A holiday entry in the same mystery world, best read in order.
18. Eye for an Eye (2022): The next main Tiger’s Eye installment listed on Alyssa Day’s official reading-order page.
19. A Dead End Wedding (2025): A later Tiger’s Eye release centered on Jack and Tess’s wedding-day chaos, so it is best saved for established readers of the series.
20. A Dead End Fourth of July (2025): The latest Tiger’s Eye release I could verify, following the wedding book and extending the Dead End timeline.
21. Bane’s Choice (2013): Opens the short Vampire Motorcycle Club trilogy and is the right starting point for this lane.
22. Hunter’s Hope (2013): Continues the trilogy directly and should be read second.
23. Redemption’s Edge (2014): Finishes the trilogy and gives you a complete three-book Alyssa Day side series.
24. Alejandro’s Sorceress (2012): Starts Cardinal Witches and also functions as a spinoff bridge from the Poseidon world.
25. William’s Witch: A short story in the same Cardinal Witches line, best read after Alejandro’s Sorceress.
26. Damon’s Enchantress (2014): Continues the Cardinal Witches sequence in novella form.
27. Jake’s Djinn: Another short Cardinal Witches entry, listed after Damon’s Enchantress on the official reading-order page.
28. The Cursed (2014): Opens League of the Black Swan, a darker fantasy/paranormal branch.
29. The Curse of the Black Swan: A related novella for the same series, listed after The Cursed on Alyssa Day’s reading-order page.
30. Nobody’s Quest (2026): Opens The Nobody Chronicles, Alyssa Day’s upcoming romantasy series, with an official release date of June 2, 2026.

Series in order

Warriors of Poseidon

This is the core Alyssa Day series and the best place to start if you want her signature paranormal-romance world.

1. Atlantis Rising (2007): The opening novel and the clearest entry to Alyssa Day’s catalog.
2. Wild Hearts in Atlantis: A related novella best read after book one, not before it.
3. Atlantis Awakening (2008): The second main novel in the series.
4. Shifter’s Lady: A related novella that fits between the early main novels.
5. Atlantis Unleashed (2008): Continues the principal series line.
6. Atlantis Unmasked (2009): Another main-sequence Poseidon novel.
7. Atlantis Redeemed (2010): Keeps the main story arc moving.
8. Atlantis Betrayed (2010): The sixth main novel.
9. Vampire in Atlantis (2011): The seventh main novel.
10. Heart of Atlantis (2012): The eighth main novel and current end of the main series line.

Optional Poseidon side reads: Alyssa Day’s official reading-order page also lists the lighter Poseidon’s Warriors holiday/month stories, beginning with Halloween in Atlantis and Christmas in Atlantis, plus Valentine’s Day in Atlantis and the later month-by-month Atlantis shorts. These are best treated as optional extras after the core novels, not as required entry points.

Tiger’s Eye Mysteries

This is the longest current Alyssa Day line and the best choice if you want small-town paranormal mystery instead of romance-first series fiction.

1. Dead Eye (2014): Starts the Dead End setting and is the correct place to begin.
2. Private Eye (2015): Continues the same mystery world and main cast.
3. Travelling Eye: A short story best read after the first two books.
4. Evil Eye (2016): The next main novel.
5. Eye of Danger (2017): Continues the main sequence.
6. Eye of the Storm (2018): Another direct continuation.
7. Apple of My Eye (2019): Keeps the same continuity going.
8. Blink of an Eye (2020): The next full novel in order.
9. Eagle Eye (2021): Continues the Dead End run.
10. A Dead End Christmas (2021): Holiday entry in the same series.
11. Eye for an Eye (2022): The next main book listed on the official reading-order page.
12. A Dead End Wedding (2025): A later-event book that works best after the earlier Dead End novels.
13. A Dead End Fourth of July (2025): Currently the latest verified Tiger’s Eye release.

Vampire Motorcycle Club

1. Bane’s Choice (2013): Opens the trilogy and is the easiest short-series entry to Alyssa Day’s paranormal romance.
2. Hunter’s Hope (2013): Continues the trilogy directly.
3. Redemption’s Edge (2014): Closes the trilogy.

Cardinal Witches

1. Alejandro’s Sorceress (2012): The entry point to the spinoff and the bridge from the Poseidon world.
2. William’s Witch: A short story that expands the same line.
3. Damon’s Enchantress (2014): The next Cardinal Witches novella.
4. Jake’s Djinn: Another related short work, listed after Damon’s Enchantress.

League of the Black Swan

1. The Cursed (2014): Starts this darker fantasy/paranormal branch.
2. The Curse of the Black Swan: A novella tied to the same series. Alyssa Day’s official reading-order page said in 2017 that the series would be repackaged and continued, but I did not find a later official series page confirming a bigger relaunch, so treat it as a small side series for now.

The Nobody Chronicles

• Nobody’s Quest (2026): Officially scheduled for June 2, 2026, and presented on Alyssa Day’s site as the launch of her upcoming romantasy series.

Do you need a chronological order?

No. Alyssa Day is much easier to read by series lane than by a single publication timeline. The most useful rule is:

• Read Warriors of Poseidon in order if you want the core paranormal-romance experience.
• Read Tiger’s Eye Mysteries in order if you want the current longest line.
• Read Cardinal Witches after Poseidon, since Alyssa Day’s own reading-order page labels Alejandro’s Sorceress as a related novella that begins that spinoff.

Where should you start?

Use this shortcut:

• Best classic starting point: Atlantis Rising
• Best mystery starting point: Dead Eye
• Best short commitment: Bane’s Choice
• Best newest entry point: Nobody’s Quest once it releases on June 2, 2026.

If you only want one answer, start with Atlantis Rising.

Latest release status

The newest Alyssa Day title I could verify is Nobody’s Quest, scheduled for June 2, 2026, as the launch of The Nobody Chronicles. The newest already-released Alyssa Day novel I could verify is A Dead End Fourth of July, released on October 7, 2025, following A Dead End Wedding on May 31, 2025.

Final recommendation

For the clearest Alyssa Day reading order, begin with Warriors of Poseidon through Heart of Atlantis, then decide whether you want to stay in the broader supernatural world with Cardinal Witches or switch to the more comic mystery rhythm of Tiger’s Eye Mysteries. Save Nobody’s Quest for a fresh-start romantasy lane rather than treating it as connected to the older series.
