Recommended Reading Path: Where to Start
For the best reading experience, it is highly recommended to follow the Amelia Storm series in its chronological/publication order. You have two excellent starting points:
- The Prequel Route: Start with the prequel novella, Storm's Awakening, to get a glimpse of Amelia's life and the events that set her FBI career in motion.
- The Main Novel Route: Dive straight into Storm's Fury, the first full-length novel in the series, which establishes the core narrative arc surrounding Amelia's brother's murder and her battle against Chicago's underworld.

Spin-offs and Crossovers: The Journey Russo Series
Mary Stone and Amy Wilson also co-author the Journey Russo FBI Mystery series, which exists in the exact same universe as Amelia Storm. Journey Russo is a former undercover agent who confronts a dark cult in her hometown. The two series are closely linked, and Journey makes a crossover appearance in Storm's Revenge (Amelia Storm Book 9) to help Amelia and Zane Palmer with a complex investigation. While you do not need to read both series to understand Amelia's story, reading them alongside each other provides a richer look at the authors' shared thriller universe.
