I binge-read the 'Fallen Crest' series last summer, and trust me, the order matters if you want to fully enjoy the drama and character arcs. Start with 'Fallen Crest High', which introduces the toxic yet addictive world of Sam, Mason, and Logan. The tension, the fights, the romance—it hooks you right away. Then move to 'Fallen Crest Family', where the family dynamics get messier, and the stakes rise. 'Fallen Crest Public' is next, diving deeper into their college lives and the chaos that follows them. After that, the novella 'Fallen Crest Christmas' gives a fun, festive break before jumping into 'Fallen Crest Forever', the explosive finale. The spin-offs like 'The Crew' series are optional but add extra layers if you’re obsessed with the universe.
As someone who devoured the 'Fallen Crest' books in a week, I’d say the order is key to understanding the characters’ evolution. Start with 'Fallen Crest High'—it’s where Sam’s journey begins, and the chemistry between her and Mason is electric. The second book, 'Fallen Crest Family', ramps up the drama with family secrets and deeper conflicts. Then 'Fallen Crest Public' takes the trio to college, where the stakes get even higher. The novella 'Fallen Crest Christmas' is a lighter interlude before the final book, 'Fallen Crest Forever', which wraps everything up with intense emotions and resolutions.
If you fall in love with the world, the spin-offs like 'The Crew' offer more depth on secondary characters, but they’re not necessary for the main plot. The series is addictive, so brace yourself for late-night reading sessions. The order ensures you get the full impact of the story’s twists and turns.
If you're diving into the 'Fallen Crest' series by Tijan, here’s the optimal reading order to avoid confusion and maximize the emotional rollercoaster. Begin with 'Fallen Crest High', the foundation of Sam’s story and her complicated relationship with Mason and Logan Kade. The raw energy and high-school rivalry here are unmatched. Next is 'Fallen Crest Family', where secrets and betrayals take center stage, and the Kade brothers’ loyalty is tested. 'Fallen Crest Public' shifts gears to college life, blending new challenges with old enemies. Don’t skip 'Fallen Crest Christmas', a shorter but crucial novella that softens the intensity before the grand finale, 'Fallen Crest Forever'.
For those who crave more, the spin-offs like 'The Crew' series expand on side characters, but they’re not essential. I’d suggest sticking to the main books first, then exploring the extras if you’re still hungry for more. The series is a wild ride of love, power struggles, and unforgettable characters, so reading it in order lets you appreciate the growth and chaos properly.

Esmeralda Cantari has spent her life being told she is a mistake.
The unwanted daughter of a powerful angel prince and a disgraced witch, she was cast aside by her father and barely tolerated by her mother’s coven. When her magic fails to appear like every other young mage’s, the coven finally exiles her for good.
But the night they drive her out, something awakens.
Blood answers her call. Wings of midnight blue and black tear free from her back. And suddenly the powerless girl everyone despised becomes something far more dangerous.
Returning to Rosewood Sanctum for her third year, Esmeralda must hide abilities that could make her a target in a school ruled by powerful bloodlines—including the half-siblings who have bullied her for years. Yet strange things are already happening around the academy. Students are disappearing. Bodies are found drained of blood. And rumors of ancient monsters once thought extinct begin to circulate.
The only people who seem to notice Esmeralda’s true potential are the most feared group of heirs at Rosewood: a shadow demon with dangerous curiosity, a brooding shifter whose beast reacts to her presence, a brilliant mage who feels he’s seen her before, a relentless fae warrior who sees her strength, and an angel prince who is watching her far too closely.
As the mystery deepens, Esmeralda begins to realize her awakening may not be a coincidence.
Something ancient is rising in the shadows of the supernatural world.
And it has already started hunting for her.
I've been a huge fan of the 'Fallen Crest' series for years, and I can confirm there are 7 books in total. The series starts with 'Fallen Crest High' and wraps up with 'Fallen Crest Legacy'. Each book dives deeper into the lives of Samantha, Mason, and Logan, blending drama, romance, and intense family dynamics. The character development is insane, and the way Tijan writes their relationships keeps you hooked. If you're into gritty, emotional stories with a lot of tension, this series is a must-read. I binge-read all 7 books in a week because I couldn't put them down.
I still get a little giddy thinking about this series — it hooked me the way late-night reading sessions used to when I was in high school. If you mean the Lauren Kate 'Fallen' books (the most common one people ask about), the clean reading order is basically publication order, with a companion/novella you can slot in if you want the extra romance beats.
Here’s the straightforward order I follow whenever I recommend it: 'Fallen' → 'Torment' → 'Passion' → 'Fallen in Love' (optional companion novella/short-story collection you can read here) → 'Rapture'. If you want absolutely everything, read 'Fallen in Love' after 'Passion' and before 'Rapture' — it collects character-focused vignettes that fill in emotional gaps but won’t change the main plot. There’s also a later companion called 'Unforgiven' that fans sometimes read after 'Rapture' if they want more world and character closure.
What I loved when rereading was that the main four books carry the primary story arc, while the shorter companion pieces are like dessert — sweet and optional. If you’re starting fresh, give the first two a go; they set up the mythology and the central love story nicely. Oh, and if you’re watching the movie adaptation afterward, read at least through 'Passion' so the ending doesn’t feel too spoiler-y.
The 'Fallen' series by Lauren Kate is one of those YA fantasy romances that hooked me from the first page. If you're diving in, start with 'Fallen'—it introduces Lucinda Price and her mysterious connection to Daniel Grigori at Sword & Cross reform school. The gothic vibes and forbidden love are chef's kiss. Next is 'Torment', where Luce transfers to Shoreline and digs deeper into her past lives. 'Passion' is the third book, a time-traveling adventure that reveals centuries of their cursed romance. Finally, 'Rapture' wraps up the celestial drama with a biblical-scale showdown.
Personally, I got sidetracked by the standalone 'Fallen in Love', a Valentine's Day anthology about side characters. It’s optional but adorable. The prequel 'Unforgiven' (following Cam’s redemption) came later and works better if you’re already invested. Honestly, publication order is king here—the twists hit harder when you follow Luce’s confusion step by step. The audiobooks are great too; Justine Eyre’s narration adds this haunting melancholy perfect for fallen angels brooding over espresso.
