For those of you who care, here is the reading-order from Sherrilyn Kenyon's web site. (or alternate address) A few of these are short stories in a compendium, which I haven't always been able to find.

Thanks,
I had checked out fanfiction.uk already looking at who carries the whole collection in ebooks. Probably wasnt the best idea to the free one Since it was #12 in the series

Oh, I dunno. The books work well stand-alone. You just miss the small references to things (or people) that have happened before. Anything *needed* is explained in each book.

The ones after "Seize the Night" seem to be veering in a different direction, and (as far as I've read so far) don't involve Acheron and his Dark Hunters quite as much. That could be a big part of the reason for releasing "Seize the Night" just before "Acheron" comes out in August. That, plus "S th N" has a few big blow-ups (contretemps; confrontations) that will probably matter in future books.

I am currently plowing thru Twilight by Stephenie Meyer so far so good!
