Allison Brennan Books in Order: The Complete Series and Reading Guide
If you enjoy fast-paced thrillers filled with FBI investigations, serial killers, cold cases, missing people, dangerous secrets, and characters who refuse to give up, Allison Brennan is an author worth exploring.
But figuring out where to start can be surprisingly difficult.
Brennan has written several thriller series, including the long-running Lucy Kincaid books, the Quinn & Costa thrillers, the Maxine Revere cold-case mysteries, the Angelhart Investigations series, and several earlier romantic-thriller trilogies. She has also written standalone novels, novellas, short stories, and anthology contributions. Her official bibliography makes the distinction between these different categories especially useful for readers trying to work out the correct order.
So, what is the best way to read Allison Brennan’s books?
For a series, the answer is simple: read each series in its numbered order.
You do not need to read every Allison Brennan book in publication order before starting a different series. Most series can be enjoyed independently, although some recurring characters and crossover stories make it worthwhile to follow the order within each series.
Below, you’ll find the complete Allison Brennan reading guide, including her major series, standalone novels, novellas, and the best place to start.
Allison Brennan Books in Order at a Glance
If you are looking for the major Allison Brennan series, these are the ones to know:
- Predator Trilogy
- No Evil Trilogy
- Prison Break Trilogy
- Sacramento FBI Trilogy
- Lucy Kincaid Thrillers
- River City Mysteries
- Maxine Revere Cold Case Mysteries
- Moreno & Hart Mysteries
- Quinn & Costa Thrillers
- Regan Merritt Mysteries
- Angelhart Investigations
Brennan also has several standalone novels and shorter works.
Her official biography describes her career as moving from early romantic thrillers and a supernatural trilogy into the long-running Lucy Kincaid series, followed by Maxine Revere, Quinn & Costa, Regan Merritt, Angelhart Investigations, and standalone thrillers.
1. Predator Trilogy
The Predator Trilogy is where Allison Brennan’s published novel career begins.
The first book, The Prey, was originally published in 2005, followed by The Hunt and The Kill in 2006.
Predator Trilogy reading order
- The Prey (2005)
- The Hunt (2006)
- The Kill (2006)
The Prey
The Prey introduces Brennan’s early thriller style through Rowan Smith, a bestselling novelist and former FBI agent whose fictional world suddenly begins resembling a horrifying real-life investigation.
When a murder bears similarities to a character in one of her books, Rowan is forced to confront the possibility that someone is using her work as inspiration.
It’s an appropriate starting point for readers who want to see where Brennan’s career began.
The Hunt
The second book continues Brennan’s early romantic-suspense style and raises the stakes surrounding the predator at the center of the trilogy.
The Kill
The trilogy concludes with The Kill, bringing the storyline to its final confrontation.
If you enjoy Brennan’s later FBI and serial-killer thrillers, this early trilogy provides an interesting look at the foundations of that style.
2. No Evil Trilogy
Next comes the No Evil Trilogy, one of Brennan’s best-known early series.
The three books are:
- Speak No Evil (2007)
- See No Evil (2007)
- Fear No Evil (2007)
Brennan’s official bibliography categorizes these books among her early romantic thrillers.
Speak No Evil
A brutal murder draws investigators into a disturbing case involving online behavior, psychological manipulation, and a killer who appears to be using the internet as part of a much darker game.
See No Evil
The second novel continues Brennan’s exploration of crime, obsession, and dangerous predators.
Fear No Evil
This is particularly important for readers interested in the later Lucy Kincaid books.
The story involves Lucy Kincaid, who becomes the target of an online predator and is placed in an extremely dangerous situation.
That connection makes the No Evil Trilogy especially interesting if you’re planning to read Lucy Kincaid afterward.
3. Prison Break Trilogy
The next trilogy is the Prison Break Trilogy.
Read these in this order:
- Killing Fear (2008)
- Tempting Evil (2008)
- Playing Dead (2008)
The three novels were published in 2008 and are part of Brennan’s early romantic-thriller period.
Killing Fear
A dangerous killer and a troubled investigation set the stage for the trilogy.
Tempting Evil
The second installment continues the high-stakes suspense with another investigation involving dangerous criminals and personal risk.
Playing Dead
The trilogy concludes with another tense investigation in which appearances can be dangerously deceptive.
If you like Brennan’s earlier books, this is a natural trilogy to read straight through.
4. Sacramento FBI Trilogy
The Sacramento FBI Trilogy consists of three books:
- Sudden Death (2009)
- Fatal Secrets (2009)
- Cutting Edge (2009)
Brennan’s official book list specifically identifies this as the Sacramento FBI Trilogy.
These books are a good choice if you’re primarily interested in the law-enforcement side of Brennan’s writing.
They also provide a bridge between her earlier romantic thrillers and the more extensive FBI-centered stories that became a major part of her bibliography.
5. Lucy Kincaid Thrillers
If you’re asking for the Allison Brennan series most worth committing to, this is probably the one.
The Lucy Kincaid Thrillers became Brennan’s longest-running series, following Lucy Kincaid and the people around her as she develops from an aspiring FBI agent into an experienced investigator.
Brennan’s official site currently describes the series as having 18 numbered books, along with several novellas and related shorter works.
6. River City Mysteries
The River City Mysteries are shorter ebook mysteries and can be read independently of the Lucy Kincaid series.
Read them in this order:
- Killing Justice (2012)
- Murder in the River City (2012)
- Aim to Kill (2015)
- Mirror, Mirror (2018)
Brennan’s official bibliography identifies the River City books as ebook-only mysteries.
If you’re looking for shorter Brennan mysteries rather than committing to an 18-book series, these are worth exploring.
7. Maxine Revere Cold Case Mysteries
The Maxine Revere books follow an investigative reporter who specializes in cold cases.
The series is closely connected to the Lucy Kincaid world, which makes the reading order particularly interesting for Brennan fans.
Maxine Revere books in order
- Maximum Exposure — ebook prequel
- Notorious (2014)
- Compulsion (2015)
- Poisonous (2016)
- Two to Die For (2017)
- Shattered (2018)
- Abandoned (2019)
Brennan’s official book list identifies Maximum Exposure as the prequel and lists the remaining Maxine Revere books in this sequence.
Who is Maxine Revere?
Maxine is an investigative reporter obsessed with unsolved crimes.
She doesn’t have the conventional authority of an FBI agent or police detective.
Instead, she uses journalism, persistence, research, and an unwillingness to accept an unsatisfying answer.
That gives these books a somewhat different flavor from the Lucy Kincaid novels.
Can you read Maxine Revere without reading Lucy Kincaid?
Yes.
But readers who follow both series will notice connections between the characters.
That’s one of the pleasures of Brennan’s larger fictional universe.
8. Moreno & Hart Mysteries
Allison Brennan also co-wrote the Moreno & Hart Mysteries with author Laura Griffin.
The series consists of four ebook-only works:
- Crash and Burn (2013)
- Hit and Run (2014)
- Frosted (2015)
- Lost and Found (2016)
Brennan’s official bibliography explicitly notes that these were written with Laura Griffin.
These are a good option if you enjoy Brennan’s style but want something shorter than her major series.
9. Quinn & Costa Thrillers
The Quinn & Costa Thrillers are among Brennan’s most important later books.
The series follows Kara Quinn, a detective, and Matt Costa, an FBI special agent, as they become involved in dangerous investigations around the United States.
Brennan’s official site currently lists seven published books in the series, with Make It Out Alive as Book 7.
Quinn & Costa books in order
- The Third to Die (2020)
- Tell No Lies (2021)
- The Wrong Victim (2022)
- Seven Girls Gone (2023)
- The Missing Witness (2024)
- See How They Hide (2025)
- Make It Out Alive (2026)
1. The Third to Die
Kara Quinn discovers a murder that appears connected to a serial killer.
Meanwhile, FBI agent Matt Costa is assembling a new Mobile Response Team.
Their first case brings the two investigators together.
2. Tell No Lies
Quinn and Costa investigate a murder involving an activist, a mysterious environmental threat, and much darker criminal activity.
3. The Wrong Victim
A deadly explosion aboard a charter boat leaves the team wondering whether the people who died were actually the intended targets.
4. Seven Girls Gone
Women have been disappearing from a small Louisiana community.
Kara Quinn goes undercover while the team investigates a case involving corruption and organized crime.
5. The Missing Witness
A key witness disappears just when she is needed most.
Kara and Matt must find her before someone silences her permanently.
6. See How They Hide
Two murders occur on opposite sides of the country in remarkably similar circumstances.
The investigation eventually leads to a disturbing community with secrets of its own.
7. Make It Out Alive
This time, Kara Quinn and Matt Costa become targets themselves.
Three newlywed couples disappear from an exclusive Florida resort and later turn up dead. Kara and Matt go undercover as a married couple to catch the killer, but the investigation quickly turns into a fight for their own survival. Brennan’s official site lists Make It Out Alive as Quinn & Costa Thrillers Book 7 and currently marks it as available.
What comes next?
The next planned Quinn & Costa novel is One Last Warning, currently scheduled for January 2027. Brennan’s biography confirms that publication plan.
10. Regan Merritt Mysteries
The Regan Merritt Mysteries are another relatively small series, making them easy to read in order.
There are currently two books:
- The Sorority Murder (2021)
- Don’t Open the Door (2023)
Brennan’s official site identifies them as Regan Merritt Mysteries Books 1 and 2.
The Sorority Murder
Lucas Vega becomes obsessed with an unsolved murder involving a young woman who disappeared after a sorority party.
He creates a podcast to investigate the case and brings in former U.S. Marshal Regan Merritt.
But as new information emerges, the investigation becomes much more dangerous.
Don’t Open the Door
Regan is pulled back toward the unresolved murder of her own son after receiving a mysterious message from her former boss.
When the source of that information is murdered, Regan realizes that the truth may be much more dangerous than she imagined.
11. Angelhart Investigations
The Angelhart Investigations series is one of Brennan’s newest series.
It follows a family of private investigators based in Arizona.
Brennan’s official biography explains that she started this series after writing her earlier major thriller series, and her current book page lists the Angelhart titles separately.
Angelhart Investigations reading order
- Into the Fire (2024) — prequel novella
- You’ll Never Find Me (2024)
- Out of the Shadows (2025) — novella
- Don’t Say a Word (2025)
- I’ll Be Watching You (2026)
The first four published entries are listed in Brennan’s official 2025 bibliography, while her current website now lists I’ll Be Watching You as the upcoming Book 3/next Angelhart title.
A note about numbering
This is one place where readers may encounter inconsistent numbering online.
Brennan’s current website organizes Into the Fire as a prequel, You’ll Never Find Me as Book 1, Out of the Shadows as a novella, and Don’t Say a Word as Book 2.
So if you’re following the story rather than simply counting every publication, use:
Into the Fire → You’ll Never Find Me → Out of the Shadows → Don’t Say a Word → I’ll Be Watching You
I’ll Be Watching You
The next Angelhart Investigations installment is currently scheduled for September 15, 2026.
If you’re reading this guide before that date, consider it an upcoming release rather than an already available book.
Lucy Kincaid books in order
1. Love Me to Death (2010)
Lucy Kincaid has survived a traumatic attack by an online predator and wants to join the FBI.
Her interest in cybercrime and her experience as a victim make her particularly determined to pursue criminals who prey on others online.
This is the best place to begin the main Lucy Kincaid series.
2. Kiss Me, Kill Me (2011)
Lucy and private investigator Sean Rogan become involved in another dangerous investigation involving a missing teenager and a serial killer.
Their relationship also develops, making this an important installment for both the thriller storyline and the continuing character arc.

Lucy and Sean head to the Adirondacks for what should have been a peaceful trip.
Instead, they uncover a disturbing crime and become caught in a much larger conspiracy.

Lucy continues her work as an FBI agent while Sean and the rest of the recurring cast become involved in another high-stakes case.

11. The Lost Girls (2016)
Lucy is drawn into a case involving missing girls and a dangerous investigation that tests her ability to find the truth before it is too late.
12. Make Them Pay (2017)

A bizarre FBI incident leads Lucy into a dangerous investigation while Sean faces trouble of his own.

18. Cold as Ice (2020)
The eighteenth numbered Lucy Kincaid thriller continues Lucy’s FBI investigations and brings another dangerous case to the series.
Lucy Kincaid Novellas and Shorter Works
If you want the complete Lucy Kincaid reading experience, there are several shorter works worth knowing about.
Prequel
“Love Is Murder”
This is a Lucy Kincaid prequel novella. It is also included in If I Should Die in some editions.
Other Lucy Kincaid novellas
- “Vacation Interrupted” (2012)
- “Reckless” (2013)
- “Storm Warning” (2019)
- “No Way Out” (2020)
- “A Deeper Fear” (2021)
Brennan’s official bibliography identifies these as ebook novellas connected to the series.
There is also Missing (2022), which collects “Storm Warning,” “No Way Out,” and “A Deeper Fear” together.
Do you need to read the novellas?
Not necessarily.
If you’re reading the numbered novels for the first time, you can follow books 1–18 without stopping for every novella.
But if you’re a completionist, they add extra stories featuring Lucy and the surrounding characters.
Allison Brennan Standalone Books in Order
Not every Allison Brennan novel belongs to a continuing series.
Her standalone novels are:
- 36 Hours (2013) — novella
- North of Nowhere (2023)
- Beach Reads and Deadly Deeds (2025)
- Whisper Creek (2026)
Brennan’s current biography describes North of Nowhere as a thriller set during a blizzard in Montana, Beach Reads and Deadly Deeds as a romantic mystery set in the Caribbean, and Whisper Creek as a standalone set in rural Texas during a storm.
North of Nowhere
A remote Montana setting and a dangerous blizzard create the backdrop for this standalone thriller.
Beach Reads and Deadly Deeds
The title may sound lighthearted, but this is a mystery with a dangerous edge, set in the Caribbean.
Whisper Creek
Brennan’s newest standalone novel, Whisper Creek, is set in rural Texas during a storm. Brennan’s official biography identifies it as her newest standalone and gives its publication date as June 23, 2026.
Allison Brennan’s Seven Deadly Sins Books
There is another group of books that can be easy to overlook: the Seven Deadly Sins supernatural thrillers.
The reading order is:
- Deliver Us From Evil — prequel novella
- Original Sin
- Carnal Sin
- Ghostly Justice — novella
- Mortal Sin
Brennan’s official bibliography classifies these as supernatural thrillers.
One unusual detail is that Original Sin is sometimes dated differently across online databases because of its publication history, so if you encounter conflicting dates, the safest approach is to follow the series order rather than relying on the year alone.
Which Allison Brennan Series Should You Read First?
This depends on what type of thriller you enjoy.
Best for a long-running character-driven series: Lucy Kincaid
Start with Love Me to Death.
You get a substantial character arc, FBI investigations, cybercrime, serial killers, romantic suspense, and recurring characters.
There are also plenty of books to keep you occupied.
Best for modern FBI thrillers: Quinn & Costa
Start with The Third to Die.
This is probably the strongest choice if you prefer contemporary procedural thrillers with a team of investigators.
Best for cold cases: Maxine Revere
Start with Notorious, or begin with the Maximum Exposure prequel if you want the complete character introduction.
Best for a shorter series: Regan Merritt
There are only two books, so you can easily read the entire series without committing to a huge backlist.
Start with The Sorority Murder.
Best for something new: Angelhart Investigations
Start with Into the Fire if you want the complete background, then continue with You’ll Never Find Me.
Best standalone choice
North of Nowhere is a good choice if you want a single Brennan thriller without beginning a long series.
Do You Need to Read Allison Brennan’s Books in Publication Order?
No—not her entire bibliography.
This is important.
Allison Brennan has written multiple series that can generally be started independently. You don’t need to begin with The Prey simply because it was her debut novel.
Instead, choose the series that interests you and start with Book 1.
For example:
Want Lucy Kincaid? Start with Love Me to Death.
Want Quinn & Costa? Start with The Third to Die.
Want Regan Merritt? Start with The Sorority Murder.
Want Angelhart Investigations? Start with Into the Fire for the complete background.
This is much easier than trying to read Brennan’s entire bibliography from 2005 onward.
Allison Brennan Books in Publication Order
If you really do want to read Brennan’s work according to original publication sequence, the earliest major books begin like this:
- The Prey (2005)
- The Hunt (2006)
- The Kill (2006)
- Speak No Evil (2007)
- See No Evil (2007)
- Fear No Evil (2007)

- The Third to Die (2020)
- The Sorority Murder (2021)
- Tell No Lies (2021)
- The Wrong Victim (2022)
- The Lost Girls and later collected works continue across the bibliography
- North of Nowhere (2023)
- Seven Girls Gone (2023)
- The Missing Witness (2024)
- You’ll Never Find Me (2024)
- See How They Hide (2025)
- Beach Reads and Deadly Deeds (2025)
- Make It Out Alive (2026)
- Whisper Creek (2026)
However, I don’t recommend this as your first reading strategy.
Brennan’s bibliography contains novellas, reprints, anthology appearances, series crossovers, and books whose dates can differ depending on whether you’re counting original publication, ebook publication, or later print editions.
A series-by-series approach is much more useful for readers.
Allison Brennan Books: Which Ones Are Connected?
This is one of the most useful things to understand before you start.
Lucy Kincaid and Maxine Revere
These worlds overlap.
Maxine Revere is an investigative reporter, while Lucy Kincaid is an FBI agent. Their paths cross, and some books contain material involving characters from both series.
For example, Best Laid Plans includes the Maxine Revere prequel Maximum Exposure, and Cut and Run brings Lucy, Maxine, and Sean Rogan into the same investigation.
Quinn & Costa
This is a separate later thriller series centered on Kara Quinn and Matt Costa.
You can start with The Third to Die without first reading Lucy Kincaid.
Regan Merritt
This is another separate series.
You can start with The Sorority Murder.
Angelhart Investigations
This is Brennan’s newer Arizona-based private-investigator series and can also be started independently.
How Many Books Has Allison Brennan Written?
The exact number can be confusing because different databases count novels, novellas, short stories, anthology appearances, and reprints differently.
For example, FictionDB currently lists 74 books across 11 series, while Brennan’s own site separates her bibliography into series, standalone novels, novellas, short stories, and anthology/non-fiction contributions.
That’s why a simple statement such as “Allison Brennan has written X novels” can be misleading.
For readers, the more useful way to think about her bibliography is:
- Long-running series
- Short trilogies
- Shorter mystery series
- Standalone thrillers
- Novellas
- Anthology contributions
Are Allison Brennan’s Books Connected?
Some are, but not all of them.
Brennan has created several separate fictional worlds.
The strongest connections are around the Lucy Kincaid and Maxine Revere books.
Her later series—such as Quinn & Costa, Regan Merritt, and Angelhart Investigations—have their own primary casts and can be started independently.
That means you don’t need to read 50-plus books just to understand one new Allison Brennan novel.
And that’s good news if you’re discovering her work for the first time.
What Is the Best Allison Brennan Book to Start With?
If you want one simple recommendation, I’d start with:
Love Me to Death
It’s the beginning of the Lucy Kincaid series and introduces one of Brennan’s most important recurring characters.
But if you prefer newer books, I’d choose:
The Third to Die
This begins the Quinn & Costa series and gives you Brennan’s modern FBI-thriller style from the beginning.
And if you want a standalone:
North of Nowhere
That lets you experience Brennan’s thriller writing without committing to a long-running series.
Frequently Asked Questions About Allison Brennan Books
What is the first Allison Brennan book?
The Prey is Brennan’s debut novel and the first book in the Predator Trilogy. Brennan’s official biography says The Prey came out in January 2006, while bibliography sources commonly list its original publication at the end of 2005.
The discrepancy comes from publication-date conventions, so readers shouldn’t be concerned if they see both 2005 and 2006 associated with the book.

There isn’t one single series-wide reading order because Brennan writes several separate series.
The best approach is to choose a series and read its books in order.

Yes, if you’re moving between different series.
Within a particular series, however, it’s best to read from Book 1 onward because recurring characters develop over time.

The Seven Deadly Sins books are classified by Brennan herself as supernatural thrillers.

Final Thoughts
Allison Brennan has built a remarkably large thriller bibliography, but you don’t have to tackle it as one enormous reading project.
The easiest approach is to choose the type of story you want.
For a long-running FBI-centered character journey, start with Lucy Kincaid.
For modern FBI team thrillers, start with Quinn & Costa.
For cold cases and investigative journalism, try Maxine Revere.
For a shorter mystery series, choose Regan Merritt.
For newer private-investigator stories, start Angelhart Investigations.
And if you simply want to try Allison Brennan without committing to a series, pick one of her standalone thrillers, such as North of Nowhere or Whisper Creek.
The biggest mistake would be assuming that you need to read every Allison Brennan book in publication order.
You don’t.
Instead, find the characters and type of mystery that appeal to you, start with the first book in that series, and let the investigation unfold from there.
That’s the most enjoyable way to explore one of today’s prolific thriller writers.
