Cat Knight Books in Order

Where to Start with Cat Knight?

For readers new to Cat Knight's chilling supernatural realms, the sheer volume of her work—spanning over fifty novels since her debut in 2017—can feel a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, the vast majority of her books are written as standalone stories, meaning you do not need to read her entire bibliography in sequence to enjoy them. However, if you want a guided path to get the best experience, here are the recommended starting points:

• For the Classic Experience: Start with The Haunting of Elleric Lodge (2017). As Cat Knight's debut novel, it perfectly introduces her signature style: atmospheric tension, relatable characters, and ghosts with deeply emotional, unsettling motives.
• For a Gritter Mystery: Start with The Haunting of Ocean Point House (2022). This novel follows a jaded police officer, Isobel McNair, as she unravels a spectral mystery in a decaying coastal town, blending police procedural elements with classic gothic horror.
• For a Connected Storyline: Start with The Haunting on the Ridgeway (2018), which kicks off the Ghost Sight Chronicles. Unlike her standalone books, this series features recurring elements and characters that build upon previous events.

The Primary 'Hauntings' Series in Publication Order

The absolute cornerstone of Cat Knight's writing is her sprawling Hauntings series. These books focus on individual haunted properties, historical secrets, and the spiritual remnants left behind.

Exploring the Multi-Book Subseries

While the standalone Hauntings books make up the bulk of Cat Knight's catalog, she has also crafted several distinct multi-book subseries. Unlike the standalone novels, these subseries are best read in their strict publication order to avoid spoilers and to follow the character arcs properly.

Ghost Sight Chronicles

This four-book series dives deeper into characters gifted—or cursed—with the ability to see and communicate with the dead, taking on more serialized investigations. You should read them in this order:

1. The Haunting on the Ridgeway (2018)
2. Cursed to Haunt (2018)
3. The Revenge Haunting (2019)
4. The Haunting of Crael Manor (2020)

Ghost Hunters Books

Focusing on specialized paranormal investigators who actively seek out the most dangerous and malevolent entities, this trilogy should be read in sequence:

1. The Haunting of Forsaken Manor (2020)
2. The Stillwell Haunting (2020)
3. The Haunting of St Anselm Abbey (2021)

The Keeper Books

One of Knight's newer ventures, this series introduces darker occult horror and focuses on familial secrets and the mysterious figure known as "the Keeper." Read them in order:

1. The Haunting of Keepers Hall (2024)
2. The Shadow of the Keeper (2024)

Standalone Novels and Collections

In addition to her primary series, Cat Knight has published individual standalone novels that do not fit into any specific naming scheme but deliver the same eerie thrills. These include The Yuletide Haunting At Livingston Manor (2018) and The Haunting Trap (2019). If you prefer curated bundles rather than buying single titles, she has also released two major collections: Ghosts and Haunted Houses The British Haunted Series Volume One (2018) and A Ghostly Collection of Haunted House Horror (2022), which are excellent entry points for readers looking to sample her style.

What to Know Before You Start

Before you begin your journey into Cat Knight's haunted worlds, keep in mind that she blends horror with elements of paranormal romance. While the ghosts, cursed objects, and decaying manors provide genuine suspense, the stories are heavily anchored by human relationships and emotional healing. Also, make sure not to confuse Cat Knight with K.A. Knight, a different author who writes much darker paranormal romance. Cat Knight's works are highly accessible, atmospheric ghost stories perfect for cozy, spooky nights.
