How to Read the Scanguards Vampires Series

For the best reading experience, it is highly recommended to read the Scanguards Vampires series in publication order. While each book focuses on a new couple and resolves its main romantic plot, there are overarching storylines, recurring villains, and character growth that carry over from book to book. Reading them out of order will expose you to major spoilers regarding previous couples and security team dynamics.

The Core Reading Order (Based on the Series Timeline)

Here is the official reading list representing the main sequence of the series, including the essential novellas and transition books:

  • Samson's Lovely Mortal (2010) – Book 1 (Samson & Delilah)

  • Gabriel's Mate (2010) – Book 3 (Gabriel & Maya)

Entering the Next Generation: Scanguards Hybrids

After Book 12, the series branches into a subseries focusing on the hybrid children of the original characters. While sometimes listed under their own subseries numbering, they represent the direct continuation of the Scanguards universe:

  • Ryder's Storm (2022) – Book 13 (Hybrids Book 1)
  • Damian's Conquest (2022) – Book 14 (Hybrids Book 2)
  • Vanessa's Bravery (2024) – Book 18 (Hybrids Book 6)
  • Patrick's Seduction (2025) – Book 19 (Hybrids Book 7)

What to Know Before You Start

Tina Folsom's universe is vast and interconnected. While the Scanguards security team in San Francisco is the crown jewel of her work, she has created several other series that share this paranormal world. If you want to expand your reading, look out for the following:

Stealth Guardians Connection

The Stealth Guardians series exists in the exact same universe. Characters from Scanguards—most notably the witch Wesley Montgomery—appear in the Stealth Guardians books (specifically Warrior Unraveled, Book 3), acting as crossovers. You can read them independently, but reading them alongside Scanguards enriches the experience.

Venice Vampyr and Werewolf Alliance

These series also share the broader supernatural world, but feature minimal crossovers and can be read completely as standalones without affecting your understanding of the Scanguards plotlines.

Co-Authored Works: The Phoenix Code

Tina Folsom co-authored the Phoenix Code series with bestselling author Lara Adrian. This series includes Cut and Run (2014) and Hide and Seek (2015), which blend romantic suspense and paranormal abilities. While separate from the Scanguards line, it features Folsom's signature high-heat romance style.

Frequently Asked

Can I read the Scanguards Vampires books as standalones?

Yes, each book contains a complete romance arc with a happy ending. However, because there are ongoing subplots, overarching conflicts, and returning characters, reading them in order is highly recommended to avoid major spoilers.

Where should I start reading Scanguards Vampires?

Scanguards Hybrids is a direct continuation spin-off series. It focuses on the next generation of characters—the hybrid offspring of the original vampires—beginning with Ryder's Storm.

Who is the witch Wesley Montgomery, and where does he cross over?

Wesley is a key witch character in the Scanguards universe who crosses over into Tina Folsom's spin-off series, Stealth Guardians, notably playing a significant role in Warrior Unraveled (Book 3).

Did Tina Folsom write any books with Lara Adrian?
