Corrigan Books in Order

The Recommended Reading Path

Because the Corrigan series runs parallel to the original Blood Destiny series, readers have two primary ways to approach the story. While both options are enjoyable, one path is generally preferred for the best narrative flow.

Option 1: Blood Destiny First (Recommended)

For most readers, the best experience is to read the original five-book Blood Destiny series first, followed by the five Corrigan companion books. Because the Corrigan series was written later, it often assumes you are already familiar with the core mysteries, plot twists, and world-building introduced from Mackenzie's point of view.

Option 2: The Parallel/Alternating Order

If you enjoy comparing perspectives side-by-side, you can alternate between the two series book by book. This method allows you to witness the same timeline events through both characters' eyes almost simultaneously, though it can occasionally slow down the pacing of the overall plot.

Corrigan Books in Reading Order

The Corrigan series consists of five novels, published between 2014 and 2015. They should be read in the following sequence:

1. Corrigan Fire (2014) - Retells the events of Bloodfire
2. Corrigan Magic (2015) - Retells the events of Bloodmagic
3. Corrigan Rage (2015) - Retells the events of Bloodrage
4. Corrigan Politics (2015) - Retells the events of Blood Politics
5. Corrigan Lust (2015) - Retells the events of Bloodlust

The Original Blood Destiny Reading Order

For reference, the original Blood Destiny series following Mackenzie 'Mack' Smith was published between 2012 and 2013 in this order:

1. Bloodfire (2012)
2. Bloodmagic (2012)
3. Bloodrage (2013)
4. Blood Politics (2013)
5. Bloodlust (2013)

Why Read the Corrigan Series?

Rather than a simple rehashing of events, the Corrigan series offers entirely new scenes, revealing what the Lord Alpha was doing behind the scenes when he was away from Mack. It also provides a deeper look into the intricate politics of the shifter world and the vulnerabilities of a character who normally projects absolute strength. Readers often note that because it was written later, it benefits from a more polished writing style and tighter editing compared to the original series.
