Reading order

  1. Cover for The Seventh Sons (Sycamore Moon Book 1)

    Book 1: The Seventh Sons

    324 pages6.5h audio2014

    The Seventh Sons drops readers straight into Sycamore's lawless world: Detective Maxim Dwyer is trying to find his missing wife, and every lead points to the Seventh Sons MC — whose members, according to local legend, become wolves under the right moon.

    A propulsive, well-edited debut that blends police procedural with paranormal thriller; reviewers consistently praise its unusual genre-mix and the instantly compelling Maxim-Diego dynamic.

  2. Cover for The Blood of Brothers (Sycamore Moon Book 2)

    Book 2: The Blood of Brothers

    534 pages12h audio2014

    The Blood of Brothers nearly doubles the page count as the story opens up: Diego is now a full MC member, a rival California gang is muscling in on Sycamore's drug trade, and an aggressive FBI agent is undercutting local law enforcement at every turn.

    A richer, more ambitious book than its predecessor, it expands the werewolf pack's social dynamics and internal politics while keeping the crime-thriller tension high throughout.

  3. Cover for The Green Children: A Sycamore Moon Novel

    Book 3: The Green Children

    416 pages8h audio2015

    The Green Children pivots away from the biker world to a missing-child mystery in Sycamore's eerie forest, as a despondent girl is found with no memory of three lost days and a second child promptly disappears.

    The supernatural element is slower to reveal itself here, making for the most atmospheric and tension-building entry in the series — reviewers who praised the 'slow delicious burn' found it the most satisfying of the three.
