Recommended Reading Path

The safest and most satisfying way to read the All In series is in order of publication. Helena Hunting designed the stories to build upon one another, tracing the growth of the Seattle expansion NHL team while maintaining chronological order. The companion short story, She’s the One, is best read after book two.

  1. A Lie for a Lie (2019) – Follows NHL captain Rook "RJ" Bowman and Lainey Carver.
  2. A Favor for a Favor (2020) – Follows injured player Bishop and Stevie.
  3. She’s the One (2022) – A companion short story centering on Bishop's brother Nolan and Pattie (best read as book 2.5).
  4. A Secret for a Secret (2020) – Follows goalie Ryan Kingston and Queenie.
  5. A Kiss for a Kiss (2021) – The final core novel following Jake and Hanna.

The Pucked Universe Connection

The All In series serves as a direct spin-off to Helena Hunting's breakout Pucked series. While you do not need to read all of the Pucked books to understand the plot of All In, doing so provides rich context. Rook Bowman is connected to the original Pucked crew, and fan-favorite characters make cameo appearances throughout the All In series.

The Next Generation: Lies, Hearts & Truths

After finishing the All In series, readers can transition to the Lies, Hearts & Truths series. This spin-off shifts focus to the next generation of characters. The first book in this series, Little Lies, centers on the romance between Kodiak Bowman (the son of Rook and Lainey from A Lie for a Lie) and Lavender Waters (the daughter of Alex and Violet from Pucked).

Frequently Asked

QDo I need to read the Pucked series before All In?

No, you do not need to read Pucked first. All In functions as a standalone spin-off series with its own core plotlines, though reading Pucked first will help you appreciate the cameo appearances of returning characters.

QWhere does the short story "She's the One" fit?

She's the One features Bishop's brother, Nolan, and is widely considered book 2.5 in the series. It was originally published in the 2022 charity anthology Nightingale.

QWhat is the reading order for the next generation spin-offs?

After the All In series, you can read the Lies, Hearts & Truths series, starting with Little Lies, which follows the children of the couples from the Pucked and All In series.

QWho are the primary couples in the All In series?

The main pairings are Rook and Lainey (A Lie for a Lie), Bishop and Stevie (A Favor for a Favor), Ryan and Queenie (A Secret for a Secret), and Jake and Hanna (A Kiss for a Kiss).

QAre the Seattle hockey teams in the books real?

No, the Seattle expansion team depicted in the series is entirely fictional and was created by Helena Hunting before the real-life Seattle Kraken joined the NHL.
