Katelyn Brehm Books in Order (Updated April 14, 2026)

Katelyn Brehm’s catalog is still compact, which is good news for readers: you do not need a complicated flowchart to read her work correctly. At the moment, the verified bibliography breaks into two separate paranormal-romance tracks. One is Demons Among Us, a two-book contemporary paranormal romance series. The other is Bonded in Blood, a darker paranormal mafia quartet with a stronger series-wide plot and closer book-to-book continuity.

That boundary matters. These are not two names for the same universe, and they should not be merged into one fake master timeline. The real choice is simple: start with the lighter paranormal side, or start with the darker paranormal-mafia side.

The cleanest way to read Katelyn Brehm

There are two sensible paths.

Path A: Read by publication

This is the best option if you want to watch the catalog develop from the earlier paranormal romances into the later mafia-focused books.

1. The Art Collector (2023): An art historian and a secretive demon millionaire collide, opening Brehm’s published catalog with a mature paranormal romance built around hunger, restraint, and a hidden supernatural world.
2. The Siren’s Song (2023): A grieving woman and a carefree demon singer meet in a second Demons Among Us romance that keeps the contemporary-paranormal tone but shifts to loss, temptation, and trust after betrayal.
3. Her Dark Salvation (2024): The first Bonded in Blood novel moves into dark paranormal mafia romance, pairing a professor with an immortal blood-demon mafioso and launching the Boston underworld plotline.
4. His Dark Vendetta (2025): The second Bonded in Blood book continues the same world through a blood feud, kidnapping, and revenge-heavy romance tied directly to the first book’s larger conflict.
5. Her Dark Protector (2026, upcoming April 23): The third Bonded in Blood novel follows Gina and Vito as the Irish mob, the feds, and the blood-demon secret push the series into open war.
6. His Dark Temptation (2027, upcoming): The planned fourth book is billed as Ciarán and Adriana’s story and the final chapter of the Bonded in Blood quartet.

Path B: Read by vibe

This is the better option if you are choosing based on mood rather than strict publication order.

• Pick Demons Among Us first if you want steamy paranormal romance with mature characters, contemporary settings, and a more self-contained book-to-book structure.
• Pick Bonded in Blood first if you want dark paranormal mafia romance with interconnected books, an overarching plot, and stronger reasons to read in order.

Series-by-series order

Demons Among Us

Separate continuity. Read in order, but this line is easier to dip into than Bonded in Blood.

The official series description presents Demons Among Us as a world parallel to our own, where each book delivers a guaranteed HEA between a demon and an ambitious, professionally driven woman. That makes it the more approachable of Brehm’s two current series.

1. The Art Collector (2023): A quiet art historian and an irresistible demon anchor the first book, which introduces the “modern world with a demonic shadow” concept through a mansion, old secrets, and supernatural appetite.
2. The Siren’s Song (2023): A recently bereaved woman and a seductive demon singer lead the second book, which keeps the same paranormal framework while leaning harder into grief, healing, and unwanted attraction.

Best place to start in this series

Start with The Art Collector. It is book one, and it gives you the clearest introduction to how Brehm handles demons in a contemporary setting.

Bonded in Blood

Separate continuity. This is the one to read strictly in order.

The official series page describes Bonded in Blood as a dark paranormal mafia romance quartet where each book has an HEA but the stories are closely interconnected with an overarching series-wide plot. That is the strongest reading-order instruction in Brehm’s current catalog, and it is why this series should not be shuffled.

1. Her Dark Salvation (2024): Anna’s story opens the series by bringing a professor into Boston’s supernatural mafia underworld through Marco DeVita, a made man, immortal blood demon, and the first major doorway into the series mythology.
2. His Dark Vendetta (2025): Luca and Siobhán’s book turns the story toward feud, vengeance, and fractured trust, while carrying forward the same underworld politics and blood-demon stakes.
3. Her Dark Protector (2026, upcoming April 23): Gina and Vito’s story escalates the external conflict as the Irish mob and federal pressure threaten to expose the blood demons and ignite war.
4. His Dark Temptation (2027, upcoming): The announced final installment will center Ciarán and Adriana and serve as the concluding chapter of the quartet.

Best place to start in this series

Start with Her Dark Salvation. This is not one of those connected-romance series where “any book works.” The author’s own series page makes it clear that the books are interlinked enough that many readers prefer the full sequence in order.

So which Katelyn Brehm book should you start with?

Here is the simplest decision guide:

1. Start with The Art Collector if you want the earliest published book and a gentler entry into Brehm’s paranormal side.
2. Start with Her Dark Salvation if you are here specifically for dark paranormal mafia romance, morally gray heroes, and the series Brehm is actively expanding now.

For most new readers, Her Dark Salvation is the stronger recommendation because Bonded in Blood is the author’s current flagship series on her site and the one with the clearest ongoing release plan.

Publication order vs recommended order

For once, these two are almost the same.

Publication order is:

1. The Art Collector
2. The Siren’s Song
3. Her Dark Salvation
4. His Dark Vendetta
5. Her Dark Protector
6. His Dark Temptation

Recommended order depends on your goal:

• For a full read of everything, use publication order.
• For the best immediate entry into Brehm’s active series, begin with Her Dark Salvation and continue through Bonded in Blood.
• Read Demons Among Us as its own separate lane, before or after Bonded in Blood.

Are there novellas, extras, or side books?

No separate novella line is clearly listed in the verified bibliography right now. Fantastic Fiction does show Forgotten Lore (2022) as a collection with multiple authors, but it is not presented on Brehm’s official books pages as part of either main series, so it is safest to treat it as separate anthology material, not a required reading-order step.

Latest release status

As of April 14, 2026, the newest Katelyn Brehm title is Her Dark Protector, but it is still upcoming, with the official site listing it as coming April 23. The same page also notes audiobook availability on June 18, 2026. After that, the next currently listed book is His Dark Temptation, scheduled for March 2027 on Fantastic Fiction.

Final recommendation

Katelyn Brehm is an easy author to navigate once you separate the catalog into its two real tracks. Demons Among Us is the shorter, more self-contained paranormal romance route. Bonded in Blood is the darker, more serialized paranormal mafia route.

If you want the best all-purpose answer, start with Her Dark Salvation. If you want the full bibliography in order, begin with The Art Collector and read forward from there.
