Bella Roccaforte Books in Order

Welcome to the Dark and Steamy Worlds of Bella Roccaforte

Bella Roccaforte is a prolific voice in paranormal romance, suspense, and urban fantasy. Overcoming personal challenges with dyslexia and Tourette’s Syndrome, she has authored or contributed to dozens of novels packed with fierce heroines, fated mates, and spine-chilling mysteries. Whether you are looking to dive into the nightmare-fueled urban fantasy of the INK series, get swept away by wolf shifter romances in Crescent Hunter, or explore collaborative shared universes like Dark Moon Falls, this guide outlines the perfect reading path for her books.

Where to Start Reading Bella Roccaforte

Because Roccaforte writes across distinct genres and shared universes, your ideal starting point depends on what you enjoy most:

• For Urban Fantasy & Paranormal Suspense: Start with the INK / Deadly Dreams series. It is her flagship solo series, mixing psychological thriller elements with supernatural romance.
• For Classic Shifter Romance: Start with her Crescent Hunter series, beginning with the novel Moon Crossed.
• For Shared World Collaborative Shifters: Dive into the Dark Moon Falls series or the A Vampire's Thirst and A Wolf’s Hunger multi-author worlds.
• For Contemporary Romance & Drama: Read the Wounded Bird series (sometimes published under the pen name Twila Fox) for a raw, emotional contemporary story.

The INK / Deadly Dreams Series Reading Order

The INK series (also frequently cataloged under the series name Deadly Dreams) follows Shay Baynes, a comic book artist whose life turns upside down when the horrific murders depicted in her comic strip begin happening in real life. This series blends urban fantasy, mystery, and romance.

Readers can choose to read in publication order or begin with the prequel short story. We recommend starting with Fine Lines to experience the mystery as it was originally written, then reading the prequel Sketches afterwards, or starting chronologically with Sketches for backstory.

INK / Deadly Dreams Chronological Order:

1. Sketches (2014) – A prequel novella that sets up Shay's background.
2. Fine Lines (2013) – The first full-length novel where the nightmares bleed into reality.
3. Vanishing Point (2014) – Book two, raising the stakes and detailing the supernatural elements.
4. INK: Abstraction (2014) – Book three, delving deeper into the psychological and romantic tension.
5. Darken (2014) – Book four, continuing Shay's fight against the forces threatening her.
6. Bold Strokes (2017) – A follow-up/companion release that expands on the series' universe.

Crescent Hunter Series

If you prefer werewolf hunters, fated mates, and high-intensity romantic suspense, the Crescent Hunter series is your best choice. While she has written multiple short pieces in this universe, the primary book is:

• Moon Crossed (2015)

The Wounded Bird Series Reading Order

Stepping away from the supernatural, Roccaforte wrote the Wounded Bird series under her own name, though it has also been re-released under the pseudonym Twila Fox. This contemporary romance and women's fiction trilogy focuses on emotional healing, survival, and finding love after trauma.

This series should be read strictly in order of publication:

1. Girl on a Swing (2016)

3. Girl on the Mend (2017)
