Deanna Chase Books in Order

Where to Start Reading Deanna Chase

With over ninety books spanning multiple interconnected universes, diving into Deanna Chase's catalog can feel daunting. Fortunately, her work is divided into a few distinct magical branches, meaning you don't have to read all ninety-plus books in a single line. The best starting point depends on your favorite subgenre:

• For Urban Fantasy & Paranormal Romance: Start with Haunted on Bourbon Street, the first book in the Jade Calhoun series. Set in New Orleans, this series serves as the anchor for several spin-offs.
• For Cozy Magic & Found Family: Start with Soul of the Witch, the opening book of the Witches of Keating Hollow. This is her most extensive series, focusing on a close-knit, magical small town.
• For Paranormal Women's Fiction (PWF): Start with Witching for Grace, the debut of the Premonition Pointe series, which features relatable, magical heroines navigating life and romance over forty.

Deanna Chase's breakout universe is set in the sultry, haunted streets of New Orleans.
