Where to Start with Cecy Robson
Cecy Robson is a versatile author who writes across two major genres: Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance and Contemporary Romance. Because her books are often tightly interconnected within their respective universes, starting in the right place is essential to avoid spoilers and get the best reading experience.
If you love supernatural elements, action-packed battle scenes, and strong sisterly bonds, the best place to start is the Weird Girls Universe. You should begin with the 2012 prequel novella The Weird Girls and then move directly into the first full-length novel, Sealed with a Curse.
If you prefer emotional, gritty contemporary romance, start with the Shattered Past Series. Beginning with Once Perfect, this trilogy introduces the Tres Santos family and sets the stage for the beloved O'Brien Family spinoff series. Reading them in order helps you appreciate the overlapping character arcs and family dynamics.
The Weird Girls Universe Reading Order
The Weird Girls series is set in Lake Tahoe and follows the Wird sisters—four young women cursed with unique supernatural powers who must navigate vampires, werewolves, witches, and ancient demons. The universe is divided into three distinct arcs, each narrated by a different sister. While each arc has a distinct tone, they are best read in release order to follow the overarching plot of the supernatural war.

- A Cursed Embrace (2013) - Book 2, expanding on pack politics and supernatural threats.
- A Cursed Moon (2013) - A companion novella focusing on the werewolf Bren and the witch Gemma.
