Jasmine Mas Books in Order (Updated March 12, 2026)

Jasmine Mas is the author of two main currently published series, Cruel Shifterverse and Villains of Lore, with a new duology, An Unsurvivable Love, announced for 2026.

Her series are best read in publication order because each sequence is internally connected, while the series themselves are separate continuities.

Quick answer

For most readers, the best place to start is Psycho Shifters (2022), then continue straight through Cruel Shifterverse before deciding whether to move on to Villains of Lore. If you only want the newer myth-based romantasy series, you can start cleanly with Blood of Hercules (2024).

Publication order

Cruel Shifterverse

This is one connected series and works best read in numbered order. Goodreads lists six main novels plus an omnibus of the first three books.

1. Psycho Shifters (2022): The series opener introduces Sadie and throws her into the brutal social and political structure of the shifter world, establishing the alliances, threats, and power dynamics that drive the full arc.
2. Psycho Fae (2022): Sadie’s story widens into the Fae games, where the series starts layering in larger rivalries and deeper consequences instead of treating book one’s conflict as a closed problem.
3. Psycho Beasts (2022): This book pays off the opening trilogy arc while raising the emotional and political stakes, so it works as a turning point rather than a stopping point.
4. Psycho Academy (2024): The focus shifts, but not the continuity; this book opens the back half of the series and is important for understanding how the world and conflict evolve after Sadie’s arc.
5. Psycho Devils (2024): The series escalates again here, building on the academy-era setup and pushing character tensions into a more openly dangerous phase.
6. Psycho Gods (2023): The sixth main novel drives the story toward open war-scale stakes and serves as the payoff for the later continuity threads.

Optional:
The Psycho Shifters: Sadie’s Complete Collection: An omnibus of books 1-3, useful for convenience but not a separate story or an extra step in the reading order.

Villains of Lore

This is a separate series, not a continuation of Cruel Shifterverse. Goodreads currently lists two primary works.

1. Blood of Hercules (2024): This starts a new myth-inflected romantasy line, introducing a separate cast and premise, so it works well as an alternate entry point for readers who do not want to begin with the earlier shifter books.
2. Bonds of Hercules (2025): The sequel deepens the darker elements and continues the same central arc, so it should be read immediately after Blood of Hercules rather than treated as a loose companion.

An Unsurvivable Love

This appears to be a new, separate duology. The first book has been announced for September 15, 2026, and the second book has not yet been dated publicly.

1. The Emperor’s Enemy (2026): The announced opener introduces a new enemies-to-lovers conflict around Zora Ravenal and Emperor Aleksander, and it should be treated as a fresh starting point rather than part of Jasmine Mas’s earlier continuities.

Recommended reading order

For a full Jasmine Mas read, go in this order:

1. Psycho Shifters (2022): Best starting point for readers who want the full backlist from the true beginning.
2. Psycho Fae (2022): Continues Sadie’s central arc without a natural break.
3. Psycho Beasts (2022): Pays off the opening phase and sets up why the wider series matters.
4. Psycho Academy (2024): Required to follow the later continuity correctly.
5. Psycho Devils (2024): Continues the same later-series arc.
6. Psycho Gods (2023): Best read after the two books immediately before it because of the accumulated continuity.
7. Blood of Hercules (2024): Move here next if you want Mas’s separate mythic romantasy series.
8. Bonds of Hercules (2025): Read directly after Blood of Hercules.
