The 'Dark Elements' trilogy is the most underrated. It's a perfect blend of urban fantasy and romance, with a really cool gargoyle mythology. Start with 'Bitter Sweet Love' (prequel novella) to get a feel, then into 'White Hot Kiss'. It's a completed story, so no cliffhangers waiting for sequels. It's my recommended starting point for anyone who wants a full, satisfying arc without a 10-book commitment.

Why would you want to combine them? Each series has its own vibe and mythology. 'From Blood and Ash' is this dense, romantic high fantasy, while 'Covenant' is more YA urban fantasy with Greek gods. Mixing them would be like alternating between episodes of a serious fantasy drama and a teen supernatural show—tonally jarring. Just pick the one whose blurb grabs you. If you like banter and modern settings, go 'Lux' or 'Covenant'. If you want epic worldbuilding and steamier romance, 'Blood and Ash' is your entry point. Don't overcomplicate a good thing.

Here's a tip for ebook readers: on Goodreads or StoryGraph, when you mark a book as 'read', it often suggests the next book in the series. It's a passive way to keep track. Also, many ebook stores have 'series bundles' where you can buy all books in a series at once, often at a discount. Buying the Lux bundle, for example, automatically gives you the correct order. Let technology handle the logistics so you can focus on the story.

The sheer number of books is a testament to how beloved this universe is. Authors don't write this much supplemental material for a series nobody cares about. The fact that we're debating the optimal way to experience it means the world is rich and worth exploring. That's a good sign. Any order that gets you reading is a win.

The 'Wait for You' series (as J. Lynn) is all standalone contemporary romances set in the same world. You can read them in any order, though a minor character in one might be the main in another. It’s neat but not necessary. If you like college-age romance with some heavy themes, they’re great. But they’re completely separate from her paranormal/fantasy books.
So really, your 'order' splits into two tracks: her fantasy/paranormal series and her contemporary series. Choose a track and run with it.

This is super helpful. So the gist is: for the full historical narrative, start with Titan. For the intended audience introduction to the world, start with Covenant. Both are correct, just different experiences.

The most satisfying way I found was to follow the publication order of the books within their respective worlds. For the Greek mythology universe, that's the Covenant series, then the Titan series. For the demon/fae universe, it's the Dark Elements trilogy, then the Harbinger trilogy, with the Wicked trilogy being a parallel story you can read after Dark Elements. Publication order ensures you get the reveals and world-building as the author intended. It prevents spoilers and lets you see how her writing and the scope of the world evolved over time.

Honestly? Publication order is almost always the answer for any author's connected works. It's how the author developed the world and released information to the original fanbase. For JLA, that means starting with 'From Blood and Ash' and just following the release dates. The prequel series started later for a reason—the context it provides is more impactful after you're already invested in the 'present-day' conflict. Sure, some super-fans create intricate chronological orders, but you risk spoiling major twists that were crafted to be revealed at a specific point in the publishing timeline. The emotional beats are paced for the publication order. Keep it simple and just read as they came out.

Her website and Goodreads have pretty comprehensive lists, but they can be overwhelming. A simpler approach: choose your preferred subgenre. For YA Paranormal with Greek mythology, start with 'Covenant'. For YA Paranormal with aliens, start with 'Lux'. For Adult Fantasy Romance, start with 'From Blood and Ash'. Each of these entry points leads down its own rabbit hole of sequels and spin-offs. Don't try to read them all at once in some mega-order; you'll burn out. Treat each 'universe' as its own project.
