Important Note on the Cocky Hero Club Series

Readers looking through Casey Hagen's catalog might notice a massive list of over 100 "Hero Club" or "Cocky Hero Club" books. It is important to know that this is a collaborative, multi-author shared universe based on characters created by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. Casey Hagen did not write all of these books; she only contributed a single novel to this collection, titled Devious Wingman (2021). You do not need to read the other Hero Club books to understand her story, as it stands completely on its own.
