Recommended Eva Chase Reading Order

The best Eva Chase reading order is series-first. Her books are not one continuous saga, so readers do not need to start with her earliest release.

For most new readers, this is the strongest path:

1. Royals of Villain Academy – start with Cruel Magic.
2. Shadowblood Souls – start with Shattered Vow.
3. The Royal Spares – start with A Game of Veils.
4. Rites of Possession – start with Thief of Silver and Souls.
5. Pack of Outcasts – start with Misfit Monsters.
6. The Dragon Shifter’s Mates – start with Dragon’s Guard.
7. The Witch’s Consorts – start with Consort of Secrets.
8. Bound to the Fae – start with Captive of Wolves.
9. The Second Fate of Elodie Devine – start with Bloom & Blood only if you are comfortable with an active series.

This order favors complete, accessible series first. It also avoids sending new readers straight into an unfinished sequence.

Should You Read Eva Chase in Publication Order?

You can, but it is not necessary.

Publication order is useful for seeing how Eva Chase’s style developed over time. It is less useful for continuity, because most series stand apart from one another.

The better rule is simple: once you start a series, stay in that series until the end.

Should You Read the Prequels First?

Usually, no.

Prequels such as Rose’s Boys and Burning Hearts are helpful background reads, but the first main novels are usually cleaner entry points. Read the main book first, then return to the prequel if you want more context.

Optional and Companion Reads

• Dragon’s Joy is optional and belongs after Dragon’s Fate.
• Rose’s Boys is optional and can be read before or after Consort of Secrets.
• Mark of Damon is optional and belongs after the main Witch’s Consorts sequence.
• Heart of Defiance is a related Royal Spares / Abandoned Realms companion. It is not the best place to start The Royal Spares.
