Serena Akeroyd Books in Order (Updated April 14, 2026)

Serena Akeroyd has a large backlist, but the good news is that it does not need to be read as one giant master sequence. Her catalog breaks into clear lanes: the Five Points Mob Universe and its connected offshoots, several separate paranormal or academy series, and a smaller group of standalones and side projects.

That distinction matters more here than it does for many romance authors. If you start in the wrong place, you can still enjoy the book, but you may miss relationship history, crossover context, or the intended escalation inside her biggest connected universe.

The first choice to make

There are really three starting paths.

1. Choose Filthy if you want the mafia universe that now anchors the biggest part of her catalog. Choose Nyx if you want the connected biker side early and do not mind weaving into the mafia world afterward. Choose Seven Wishes or Faeling For Them if you are here for the paranormal academy side and do not want mafia romance at all.
2. For most readers, Filthy is the safest first Serena Akeroyd book. It opens the best-known continuity thread and leads naturally into the books that matter most for her current universe reading order.

Read Serena Akeroyd by continuity, not by date

The cleanest way to handle this bibliography is to separate it into four buckets:

1. The Five Points Mob Universe

This is the major connected line. It includes Five Points’ Mob Collection, Dark & Dirty Sinners’ MC, The Valentini Family, The Forgotten Boys, and related crossover entries.

2. Separate romance/paranormal series

These include Quintessence, Luck of Love, Kingdom of Veronia, TriAlpha Chronicles, Year of the Wolf, Hawkridge High, Eight Wings Academy, and the Caelum books.

3. Standalones and loose titles

A number of older books sit outside the main universes and can be read on their own.

4. Current and upcoming releases

Her official and catalog listings currently point to The Capo and The Angel in 2026, with The Brat listed as the start of Oakwood Legacy later in 2026.

The Five Points Mob Universe reading order

This is the most important order on the page because Serena Akeroyd’s own site provides a dedicated universe reading list. That makes it more reliable for continuity than trying to sort only by publication date or series name.

1. All Sinner No Saint: A why-choose MC entry that sits at the front of the wider universe path and works as an early side-door into the world before the mafia line fully takes over.
2. Filthy: The opening Five Points novel and the best first stop for most readers, because it begins the core mafia thread that the later universe keeps building on.
3. Filthy Sinner: A crossover-leaning bridge book that ties MC and mafia elements together, so it works best once Filthy has already established the tone.
4. Nyx: The formal start of the Dark & Dirty Sinners’ MC run, expanding the connected world through the biker side rather than the mob side.
5. Link: The second Sinners book, continuing the MC branch before the universe folds back toward the mafia books.
6. Filthy Rich: The next major Five Points step, and one of the key books in the central mob storyline.
7. Sin: Another Sinners installment that keeps the MC side current before the reading order loops back to Five Points.
8. Steel: A continuation of the biker branch, best read here to preserve the official crossover rhythm.
9. Filthy Dark: A return to the mafia core, now with more history and shared-world weight behind it.
10. Cruz: The next MC stop, keeping both sides of the universe in step rather than leaving one thread behind.
11. Maverick: Continues the Sinners sequence and prepares the ground for the next mafia escalation.
12. Filthy Sex: Another central Five Points entry, best read in place because the official universe order treats it as part of the same ongoing climb.
13. Hawk: The next biker-side chapter, maintaining the alternating structure the universe page uses.
14. Filthy Hot: A later Five Points novel that lands better once both the mob and MC branches are already familiar.
15. Storm: The last of the first Sinners run in this official sequence, closing out the early MC block before the Valentini books arrive.
16. The Don: The start of The Oath Duet and the point where the universe opens into the Valentini Family sequence.
17. The Lady: The second half of that duet, and not a book to split from The Don if you want the intended payoff.
18. Filthy Secret: Returns to the Five Points line after the first Valentini duet, making more sense here than in pure publication order.
19. Rex: The MC branch resumes with a later Sinners entry that belongs after the earlier crossover groundwork.
20. Rachel: Follows Rex inside the same connected biker thread and should be kept beside it.
21. Filthy King: A major Five Points novel that lands best once both the mob core and the surrounding universe are already in place.
22. Filthy Disciple: A connected collaboration entry that belongs after Filthy King in the official universe path rather than being treated as an isolated extra.
23. The Consigliere: Book one of The Revelation Duet, continuing the Valentini side of the universe.
24. The Oracle: Book two of The Revelation Duet, which should be read immediately after The Consigliere.
25. Filthy Lies: Returns to Five Points after the Revelation books, and works much better here than as a jump-in title.
26. Filthy Truth: The direct follow-on to Filthy Lies, so these two are best treated as a pair.
27. Lodestar: An omnibus for the Filthy Feck material, positioned here as a later-universe stop rather than an opening move.
28. Silenced: The beginning of The Forgotten Boys, still inside the wider Five Points universe and best read after the earlier mainline books have established the stakes around it.
29. The Capo: Book one of The Salvation Duet, currently listed for February 2026 and positioned late in the existing universe sequence.
30. The Angel: Book two of The Salvation Duet, currently listed for April 2026 and intended to complete that duet.
31. End Game: A New York Stars crossover point in the official universe list, so it is not purely separate if you are following Serena’s own continuity map.
32. Waiting Game: The follow-on to End Game, kept in universe order rather than spun off as a detached hockey read.
33. Things Left Unsaid: A Pigeon Creek entry that the official universe page places late in the broader reading path, so it is safer here than as an early standalone.
34. Come Back To Me: The companion or continuation to Things Left Unsaid, best read directly after it.
35. Filthy Christmas: A holiday return to the Five Points world and a clear later-universe bonus rather than a starting point.
36. Filthy Richer: Placed last on the official universe order page, making it the natural current endpoint for readers doing the full connected read.

The Five Points books only

If you do not want the full crossover read and only want the core mafia line, read the main Five Points books in this order:

1. Filthy: The entry point and the clearest beginning of the core mob line.
2. Filthy Rich: Expands the family and power structure introduced in the opener.
3. Filthy Dark: Continues the line with a darker turn in tone and consequence.
4. Filthy Sex: Keeps the sequence moving without breaking away to side branches.
5. Filthy Hot: A later-series escalation that works best after the first four.
6. Filthy Secret: Deepens the ongoing family and relationship web.
7. Filthy King: A major late-series installment, not a book to read out of order.
8. Filthy Lies: Starts a paired endgame movement inside the series.
9. Filthy Truth: Resolves the immediate thread opened by Filthy Lies.
10. Filthy Richer: The latest main numbered Five Points novel currently listed.
11. Filthy Christmas: Best treated as an optional later bonus rather than part of the core climb.

The connected side series

These are not separate in the way a fantasy trilogy would be separate. They are part of the same broader continuity lane, even though they have their own internal numbering.

Dark & Dirty Sinners’ MC

1. Nyx: Opens the biker branch of the universe and is the right place to begin that side.
2. Link: Continues the early MC arc without needing a jump to another branch first.
3. Sin: Keeps the same thread moving inside the original Sinners run.
4. Steel: Another mid-run biker entry that belongs before the later crossover-heavy books.
5. Cruz: Continues the same sequence and is best not separated from the earlier books.
6. Maverick: Carries the MC line toward its later universe ties.
7. Hawk: A late first-run Sinners book, best after the initial six.
8. Storm: Closes the first eight-book run before the later additions.
9. Rex: A later Sinners return that belongs after the earlier arc is complete.
10. Rachel: Follows Rex and should stay paired with it.
11. Filthy Sinner: A crossover title that touches both MC and mafia space, so it reads best once the main world already exists around it.

The Valentini Family

1. The Don: Starts the first duet and opens the Valentini branch properly.
2. The Lady: Finishes that duet and should be read immediately after The Don.
3. The Consigliere: Starts the second duet and pushes the family thread forward.
4. The Oracle: Completes that duet and belongs directly after The Consigliere.
5. The Capo: Opens the third duet and is currently listed as a 2026 release.
6. The Angel: Completes the third duet and is also listed for 2026.

The Forgotten Boys

Silenced: The opening book in this connected offshoot, and one to save until you already know the universe around it.

Separate series you can read on their own

These are the books to choose if you do not want the Five Points world at all.

Quintessence

0. Charmed by Them: A prequel-style starting point for readers who want every piece of the sequence.
1. Hers To Keep: The main starting novel if you want the core series rather than the prequel first.
2. Theirs To Cherish: Continues the relationship arc opened in the first main book.
3. Hers To Hold: Finishes the sequence and is best read only after the earlier entries.

Quintessentially Theirs

1. His To Keep: A separate two-book line and a simpler entry if you want a shorter commitment.
2. His To Hold: The direct continuation and proper finish to that pair.

Luck of Love

1. The Luck of Love: Opens this romance line and is the natural starting point.
2. The Power of Love: Continues the series without needing outside continuity.
3. The Strength of Love: A later entry that works best once the series tone is already set.
4. The Depth of Love: The fourth book and the logical stopping point for the sequence.

Kingdom of Veronia

1. Perry and Her Princes: The clear beginning of this trilogy and the right place to enter its world.
2. Her Highness, Princess Perry: The middle book, best read straight after the opener.
3. Long Live Queen Perry: The finale and intended payoff to the trilogy.

TriAlpha Chronicles

1. Trinity: Starts the sequence and introduces the central line.
2. Triskele: Continues the same thread and should stay in order.
3. Triad: Keeps the series momentum going without a reset.
4. Triumph: A later-stage entry that builds on the earlier books.
5. Trierna: Near-finale movement, best kept close to the finish.
6. TriAlpha: The listed sixth book and the current end of the main sequence.

Year of the Wolf

1. Wolf Child: The opening shifter book and the right way into this trilogy.
2. Moon Child: Continues the same arc and should not be skipped.
3. Sun Child: The third book and the natural finish to the set.

Hawkridge High

1. Dare You To Love Me: Opens the series with an academy setup and should be read first.
2. Dare You To Keep Me: The follow-on and proper second step.

Eight Wings Academy

1. Faeling For Them: A paranormal academy start with fated-mates energy and the clear entry point.
2. Faeling Hard: Continues the academy and relationship thread from book one.
3. Finally Faeling: The trilogy closer and best saved until the first two are done.

The Caelum books

1. Seven Wishes: The best place to begin this academy/paranormal line.
2. Eight Souls: Continues the same central arc and should follow immediately.
3. Nine Lives: Keeps the trilogy moving toward resolution.
4. Caelum: Listed as the fourth book and best read after the first three.

Gods Are Back In Town

1. Hotter than Hades: The obvious opening title and the right entry point.
2. The Sun Revolves Around Apollo: The second and currently last listed book in the series.

Jayce Ventura

1. Ghost Whisperer: Starts the sequence and should be read first.
2. Ghost Avenger: Continues the story line in order.
3. Ghost Hunter: The third listed book and best read last.

Standalones and loose titles

These books are currently listed outside the main series structures and can usually be read independently:

• Menage Material: An early standalone and one of the loosest entry points in the backlist.
• A Menage Made on Madison: Another older standalone, separate from the major universes.
• Claimed by Caden: A standalone-style title that does not need series prep.
• Forever Theirs: A separate romance title, easiest to treat on its own.
• Queen of the Vamps: A standalone paranormal stop rather than part of the mafia continuity.
• Bound: Listed as a standalone novel and previously associated with an alternate title.
• Obsessed: Another standalone-style title with an alternate-title note in catalog listings.
• The S*x Tape: A co-authored novel that sits outside the big connected universe.
• The Intern: A separate contemporary title rather than a continuity-heavy entry.
• Broken: A later standalone listing and not part of the Five Points lane.

The best recommended reading order for most readers

If you want the best first experience, do this:

1. Filthy: Best overall starting point.
2. Filthy Rich: Keeps you inside the strongest core line.
3. Filthy Dark: Continues the same main branch.
4. Filthy Sex: Stay in the Five Points rhythm.
5. Filthy Hot: Finish the early core climb.
6. Filthy Secret: Continue before the late-series books.
7. Filthy King: Read once the earlier Five Points foundation is in place.
8. Then decide whether you want the full connected universe. If yes, go back and use the official universe order for the Sinners, Valentini, Forgotten Boys, and later crossover books.

That recommendation is not the same as pure publication order, but it is friendlier for a new reader who wants the most important thread first.

Latest release status

The current listings point to three notable recent or upcoming books:

• The Capo: listed for February 2026 as Valentini Family book 5.
• The Angel: listed for April 2026 as Valentini Family book 6.
• The Brat: listed for July 2026 as Oakwood Legacy book 1.

At the moment, The Capo and The Angel matter more for established Serena Akeroyd readers because they continue an existing connected family line. The Brat looks more like a fresh entry point into a new branch.

FAQ

What is the best Serena Akeroyd book to start with?

Filthy is the safest starting point for most readers.

Do Serena Akeroyd books need to be read in order?

The connected mafia universe does. Her separate paranormal and academy series can usually be read on their own.

Is Dark & Dirty Sinners’ MC separate from Five Points?

It has its own internal order, but Serena Akeroyd’s official universe page treats it as part of the wider connected reading path.

What is Serena Akeroyd’s newest series?

Oakwood Legacy appears to be the newest named series currently listed, beginning with The Brat in 2026.

What if I only want fantasy or paranormal romance?

Start with Seven Wishes, Faeling For Them, or Hotter than Hades instead of the mafia books.

Final recommendation

For most readers, Serena Akeroyd is easiest to understand once you stop thinking in terms of one complete bibliography and start thinking in terms of lanes. Start with Filthy for the mafia universe, move to the official connected order only after the core Five Points line clicks for you, and treat the paranormal or academy books as fully separate reading tracks.
