Night Huntress Readalong

If you’ve been wandering around the romance shelves lately thinking, why does everything feel like the same book in a different font, you’re not imagining it. A lot of the current wave of “romantasy” is heavy on vibes and light on bite. The same archetypes, familiar beats, chemistry that never quite turns into obsession.

Sometimes you want paranormal romance with teeth. The kind with action and plot and high stakes. The kind where the characters grow, the relationships evolve, and everyone is a little dangerous in a way that actually matters. If you’ve been craving that old-school paranormal energy, Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series is a must-read. It’s smart, it’s fast, it’s emotionally intense, and it does not apologize for putting you through the ringer.

If you’re ready to dive into what the genre was truly known for, then come read it with us in our Night Huntress readalong. We re-read the complete series back in 2020 and chatted about each book in a podcast episode. If you don’t want to do this alone, join us!

Why you can’t “just read the series”

Here’s the part that trips people up. Night Huntress is not a single neat line of books. It’s a whole interconnected world. Cat and Bones are the gateway, but the universe expands into spin-offs and companion stories that hit harder when you read them in the recommended order.

If you go in thinking, I’ll just read the main series and figure out the rest later, you can, but you’ll miss some of the best character arcs and you’ll run into spoilers you didn’t even know were spoilers. This is the kind of world where reading order is not about being precious. It’s about getting the full experience the way it was built.
If you want the full recommended reading order, you can grab it at the Night Huntress books in order guide. And if you want the bigger “how this universe fits together” answers, start with the Night Huntress series guide.

We re-read Night Huntress so you don’t have to do it alone

Let’s be honest. Starting an older paranormal universe can feel like showing up late to a party where everyone is already obsessed and there’s so much to catch up on. You want the payoff, but you also want someone to tell you what to read next and scream with you when things get unhinged.

That’s why we built the Night Huntress readalong.

We already did the deep dive. We re-read the Night Huntress world with fresh eyes, and we turned it into a guided experience so you can read along with us anytime. You get the structure, the order, and the “I need to talk about this with someone” feeling, without needing to coordinate schedules with the entire internet.

How the Night Huntress Readalong works

This is a join-anytime readalong. There’s no start date and no catching up. You pick your pace, start at the beginning, and we walk you through the Night Huntress world one book at a time.

Each step of the readalong includes two things: the book you’re reading next, and what to do once you finish. When you complete a book, you’ll get our podcast discussion for it, plus an extra layer of commentary designed to make the experience more immersive. Sometimes that bonus is a character deep dive. Sometimes it’s a relationship breakdown. Sometimes it’s a note about what matters going forward that stays spoiler-safe but makes the next book hit harder.

This is not a spoiler-heavy discussion club. It’s a guided read-and-listen experience that you can binge, savor, or take slow.

Choose your pace

You can follow the readalong through email, because the fastest way to stay consistent is to not rely on memory.

Choose the pace that matches your real life:

• One book per month: steady, satisfying, perfect if you’re juggling other reads or library holds. Join the 1 book/month track
• Two books per month: momentum mode, for readers who know they’re about to spiral into a new obsession. Join the 2 books/month track

What you get when you sign up

You’ll get the next book in the recommended order, delivered on your chosen schedule. When you finish, you’ll get the link to our podcast discussion for that book. You’ll also get a bonus companion piece that goes deeper into characters, dynamics, and the bigger story threads, without ruining what’s ahead.

It’s the easiest way to read an older paranormal world with the guidance and commentary from OG fans that makes the whole thing feel like an event, not a homework assignment.

Start here

If you’re brand new, start with Halfway to the Grave. It’s the clean entry point and the fastest vibe check for whether this is your kind of obsession.

If you’re returning after a long break, you can still start there, or you can jump back in where you left off and use the readalong schedule as your structure going forward.
