Dianna Love Books in Order

Where to Start Reading Dianna Love

If you are diving into Dianna Love's high-octane bibliographies for the first time, your ideal starting point depends on which genre pulls you in. For readers who crave massive urban fantasy universes, complex magic systems, shifters, and demons, the undisputed entry point is the Belador series, beginning with Blood Trinity. If you prefer high-stakes contemporary romantic suspense, tactical action, and covert ops teams, start with the Slye Temp series, beginning with the prequel novella Last Chance to Run or the first full-length novel Nowhere Safe.

For those interested in shifter romance without the massive multi-book mythology of the Beladors, the League of Gallize Shifters offers excellent, faster-paced entries that can be read standalone but are best enjoyed in order beginning with Gray Wolf Mate.

The Belador Saga and Treoir Dragon Chronicles

The Belador series is a cornerstone of urban fantasy, set in an alternate Atlanta where supernatural beings clash in the shadows. The series revolves around Evalle Kincaid, a fierce Alterant—a hybrid of Belador and demon heritage—who struggles to earn the trust of the Belador coalition while fighting to protect humanity from dangerous predators. The series is particularly notable for its authorship transition: the first four books (Blood Trinity, Alterant, The Curse, and Rise of the Gryphon) were co-authored with bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon. Starting with the fifth book, Demon Storm, Dianna Love took over the series as the sole author, maintaining the gritty action and deep emotional stakes that fans love.

Reading the main Belador series in publication order is highly recommended because of the continuous, complex arc regarding Evalle's identity, the politics of the supernatural Tribunal, and the threat of the Medb demons. Novellas like Tristan's Escape (Book 6.5) and Evalle and Storm (Book 10.5) provide crucial character development and should be read in their numerical order. The short story Deadly Fixation, originally published in the 2012 anthology Love is Murder, fits as a companion piece to the main series.

Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador World

In 2020, Dianna Love expanded her universe with the nine-part serial spinoff, the Treoir Dragon Chronicles. This storyline centers on Daegan, the ancient dragon king who protects the Belador coalition, and his quest to save his species. While this series can be read by newcomers because of its focused narrative, reading it after the tenth Belador book, Treoir Dragon Hoard, provides the best context. For readers who prefer physical formats, the nine individual digital releases are compiled into three print volumes (Volume I containing Books 1–3, Volume II containing Books 4–6, and Volume III containing Books 7–9).

Romantic Suspense: Slye Temp & B.A.D. Agency

Dianna Love's background in high-altitude marketing and motorcycle travels across America shines through in her realistic, adrenaline-fueled romantic suspense novels. Her thrillers fall primarily under two banners:

• B.A.D. Agency (Bureau of American Defense): Conceived by Sherrilyn Kenyon, this series focuses on an elite, covert government agency tasked with neutralizing domestic and global threats. Dianna Love co-authored the major full-length novels in this series—Phantom in the Night, Whispered Lies, and Silent Truth—helping transition the series into a darker, more intense tone with realistic tactical operations.
• Slye Temp: A solo romantic suspense series by Dianna Love that follows the black ops operatives of a private security agency. The books are packed with enemies-to-lovers dynamics and explosive action. To get the full experience of the recurring agency characters, start with the prequel novella Last Chance to Run before moving through the novels in publication order.

League of Gallize Shifters

For readers looking for passionate paranormal romance with a focus on fated mates and high-stakes survival, the League of Gallize Shifters is the perfect fit. Unlike the heavy urban fantasy world-building of the Beladors, this series focuses heavily on individual shifter couples—wolves, grizzly bears, and wild dogs—navigating a society where their kind must remain hidden. The series begins with Gray Wolf Mate and flows into the spin-off Wild Wolf Pack series, starting with the novel Bosse. While each book can be read as a standalone romance, they share timeline developments and are best read in order.
