Reading Caveats and Discrepancies

Because Matt Lincoln writes and publishes books at an incredibly rapid pace, bibliographic databases sometimes list the order differently. For instance, cataloging sites like Fantastic Fiction and Goodreads list Into the Blue as the third book in the series (released in 2019), whereas official series listings place it as book 12 (released in 2021). Don't let these minor discrepancies throw you off—the overall narrative flow holds up well whichever path you choose, but adhering to the official numerical series sequence is the safest bet to avoid character development spoilers.
