Where to Start Reading Charlie Rhodes
For the best reading experience, you should start with the first book in the series, The Bigfoot Blunder. Because the series follows Charlie's personal growth, the evolution of her telekinetic powers, and the ongoing mystery of her origin, reading the books in sequence is highly recommended.

Crossovers and the Winchester/Midwest Universe
Amanda M. Lee has created a massive, interconnected paranormal cozy mystery universe. While the Charlie Rhodes series can be read entirely on its own, it features exciting crossovers and guest appearances. Charlie Rhodes is introduced as a spin-off element connected to the Wicked Witches of the Midwest universe. Throughout her adventures, you will also spot tie-ins and crossovers with characters from the Covenant series, Mystic Caravan, and Spell's Angels.
If you want to experience the complete crossover timeline, fan communities recommend reading the books interspersed with the author's other series in order of release. However, if you are only interested in Charlie's monster-hunting journey, sticking to the standalone list above is perfectly fine.
Authorship and Collaboration
The Charlie Rhodes series is written entirely by Amanda M. Lee. There are no co-authored books in the series. While Lee writes other series under different pen names (such as Lily Harper Hart), all Charlie Rhodes books are published under her primary name.
