Sonja Grey Books in Order (Updated April 14, 2026)

Sonja Grey’s catalog is easier to understand if you stop looking for one giant straight line. Her books break into clear phases: an early Russian Boxing Club trio, then three connected Bratva-family runs in quick succession, then a larger Melnikov branch that continues into the next-generation Devils Will Rise: Melnikov Legacy books. There are also two standalone novels that sit outside the main sequence.

That means the most useful reading advice is not “oldest to newest no matter what,” but this: choose a family line, read it in order, then move to the next branch once that arc is complete. For most readers, the best route is to start with Fedorov Bratva or Melnikov Bratva. If you want the fullest modern Sonja Grey experience, start with Melnikov Bratva and continue straight into Devils Will Rise: Melnikov Legacy.

A practical map of Sonja Grey’s books

Think of the catalog like this:

• Early entry point: Russian Boxing Club
• First Bratva branch: Fedorov Bratva
• Second Bratva branch: Medvedev Bratva
• Main five-book family arc: Melnikov Bratva
• Next-generation continuation: Devils Will Rise: Melnikov Legacy
• Separate books: Grumpy Bratva Hitman and Delicious Prey

If you only want one recommendation, use this reading path:

1. Fedorov Bratva
2. Medvedev Bratva
3. Melnikov Bratva
4. Devils Will Rise: Melnikov Legacy

That route keeps the mafia-family escalation clean and avoids jumping into the Melnikov legacy books before the earlier family material is in place.

The books, grouped by series

Russian Boxing Club

This is Sonja Grey’s earliest verified series. The books are described as interconnected and readable as standalones, but the author pages still indicate that they are more enjoyable in order.

1. My Russian Obsession (2022): A forbidden age-gap romance that opens Sonja Grey’s published catalog and introduces the Russian Boxing Club world for the books that follow.
2. My Russian Temptation (2022): A rival-club, enemies-to-lovers romance in which Moira inherits her grandfather’s boxing club and clashes with older hero Nikolai over whether it should stay open.
3. My Russian Salvation (2022): A second-chance age-gap romance that closes the trilogy and is best read after the first two even though the series is marketed as interconnected rather than strictly serialized.

Fedorov Bratva

This is the first clearly branded Bratva family series in the catalog, and it works well as a starting point for readers who want Sonja Grey’s darker side immediately.

1. Caught by the Bratva Boss (2022): A heroine breaks into powerful Bratva boss Mikhail Fedorov’s house and gets pulled into the first Fedorov family story, making this the natural gateway into the series.
2. Savage Savior (2023): The second Fedorov book, continuing the family-centered mafia-romance line and best read once the opening power dynamics are already established.
3. Arrogant Bratva Bastard (2023): The third Fedorov novel, finishing the core run and working best after the first two brothers’ stories.

Medvedev Bratva

This trilogy follows another Bratva family line. The individual book pages describe the series as interconnected and better in order.

1. Devil from Moscow (2023): The opening Medvedev Bratva novel and the place to begin this darker, trigger-warning-marked trilogy.
2. Bratva Devil (2023): The second Medvedev book, explicitly described as more enjoyable in order and designed to build on the first novel’s shared world.
3. Filthy Devil (2023): The third Medvedev installment, closing the trilogy’s main brother-by-brother run.

Melnikov Bratva

This is the key Sonja Grey series for readers who want a larger connected mafia arc. The first book’s description makes the structure especially clear: each brother gets his own romance, but the overarching storyline does not fully resolve until book five.

1. Paved in Blood (2023): The true foundation of the Melnikov family arc, introducing the first brother while also launching an ongoing storyline that carries across all five books.
2. Paved in Venom (2023): The second Melnikov book, continuing both the couple-centered structure and the broader family plotline begun in Paved in Blood.
3. Paved in Rage (2023): The third book, pushing the shared Melnikov conflict further rather than acting like a clean standalone reset.
4. Paved in Hate (2023): The fourth Melnikov novel, where the family-wide storyline is close to payoff and earlier context matters even more.
5. Paved in Fire (2024): The fifth and final Melnikov Bratva book, delivering the resolution for the larger plot seeded in book one.

Devils Will Rise: Melnikov Legacy

This is where Sonja Grey’s catalog becomes a genuine next-generation continuation rather than just another adjacent trilogy. The title itself signals the connection: these books grow out of the Melnikov family line and are best treated as a follow-on series, not a separate starting point.

1. Born into Sin (2024): The opening legacy novel, centered on Dominic and Natalya and built around the next generation of the Melnikov world.
2. Born into Blood (2024): The second Melnikov Legacy book, continuing the family-centered next-generation sequence.
3. Born into Chaos (2024): The third installment, keeping the legacy arc moving through another connected romance.
4. Born into Temptation (2025): The fourth book, best read after the earlier legacy entries so the expanding family ties make sense.
5. Born into Darkness (2025): The fifth legacy novel, continuing the same next-generation mafia framework.
6. Born into Mayhem (2025): The sixth book, further extending the Melnikov descendants’ shared world rather than starting a new line.
7. Born into Madness (2025): The seventh entry, setting up the immediate lead-in to the current latest release.
8. Born into Obsession (2026): The eighth and newest verified legacy novel, focused on hacker Nikita Melnikov and Savanna, and currently the latest released book in Sonja Grey’s main continuity.

Standalone Sonja Grey books

These titles are listed as novels rather than as part of the numbered series above, so they do not need to be inserted into the main Bratva-family order.

1. Grumpy Bratva Hitman (2022): A holiday grumpy/sunshine age-gap standalone about a Bratva hitman and the younger woman who disrupts his hatred of Christmas.
2. Delicious Prey (2023): A standalone title currently listed outside the main series structure, so it is best treated as separate unless Sonja Grey later ties it directly into a named family line.

The order I would actually use

There are several valid ways to read Sonja Grey, but only one that feels especially smooth for a first-time reader:

Best first-time route

1. Caught by the Bratva Boss
2. Savage Savior
3. Arrogant Bratva Bastard
4. Devil from Moscow
5. Bratva Devil
6. Filthy Devil
7. Paved in Blood
8. Paved in Venom
9. Paved in Rage
10. Paved in Hate
11. Paved in Fire
12. Born into Sin
13. Born into Blood
14. Born into Chaos
15. Born into Temptation
16. Born into Darkness
17. Born into Mayhem
18. Born into Madness
19. Born into Obsession

That path keeps the catalog moving from smaller Bratva sets into the larger Melnikov story and then directly into its legacy continuation.

Best route if you only want the core family saga

1. Paved in Blood
2. Paved in Venom
3. Paved in Rage
4. Paved in Hate
5. Paved in Fire
6. Born into Sin
7. Born into Blood
8. Born into Chaos
9. Born into Temptation
10. Born into Darkness
11. Born into Mayhem
12. Born into Madness
13. Born into Obsession

This is probably the strongest answer for readers who want the part of Sonja Grey’s catalog that feels most like one extended family chronicle.

Where new readers should begin

Do not overcomplicate this.

1. If you want the most complete modern Sonja Grey experience, begin with Paved in Blood.
2. If you want the earliest mafia-family entry point, begin with Caught by the Bratva Boss.
3. If you want the earliest published series overall, begin with My Russian Obsession.

The one place I would not start is Born into Sin unless you already know you are comfortable entering at the next-generation stage. It may work as a romance on its own, but it lands better when the Melnikov family context is already familiar.

Release status

The newest released Sonja Grey book I found is Born into Obsession, published in March 2026. I did not find a later confirmed Sonja Grey release on the main bibliography pages I checked.

Final recommendation

Sonja Grey’s catalog is at its best when read in family blocks. Start with Fedorov Bratva if you want the broader Bratva journey, or skip straight to Melnikov Bratva if you want the strongest central saga. Then continue into Devils Will Rise: Melnikov Legacy, which is where her current main continuity reaches its newest point.
