Reading Sequence

THIS LIST IS FOR:

Readers who want to read every book in the DEATH, SAVAGE, ALPHA CLAIM and REFLECTION universe(s) (as many are intertwined). I have a lot of cross-over readership between my real name and my pen, Marata Eros, so this may be of interest regardless if you're a TRB or ME fan. 

The end-goal of a reader sequence is to allow new readers to enjoy every nuance and crossover as they developed at the onset from when the books were released, thereby  invigorating a new fan group that's as excited about these books as when they first published. Refer to the BOOKS by TRB tab to see the sequence of books by series.

TRB books were very much serial installments and must be read in order to fully appreciate, except the following: ALPHA CLAIM. 

That said, AC is best read in order but that is not an absolute.

Each series can be read and enjoyed independently of the others. Worldbuilding is sufficiently explained, though I am known for my cliffies.  With a catalog size this large, a "landing page" of sorts to view the chronological order is helpful to old and new readers alike.

THE DEATH, SAVAGE, REFLECTION, BLOOD and ALPHA CLAIM series can be read independently of one another. However.... there are several crossovers around book 4 in both DEATH and SAVAGE, with a sprinkled bit of surprise crossovers in REFLECTION as well. ALPHA CLAIM steals the hard sci-fi tech of the DEATH series, as does my upcoming release for 2022, THROUGH DARK GLASS. I encourage you to enjoy the full reader experience by reading the DEATH series first. The other series come later and, as mentioned above, can be loved separately, though it is the author's belief that when they are read in order, it deepens the reading experience. 

Antihero Trigger Warning.

Marata Eros is a dark thriller writer with an undertone of eroticism and violence. Her works are niche, multi-layered, lyric and complicated. This is not "commercial" fare. 👇

DRUID, SIREN and DEMON are all heavily interconnected and do need to be read in order. I strongly encourage DRUID first, then SIREN, then DEMON, for which book 3 is being written to complete the trilogy. Characters pop up from DRUID to SIREN and there is at the very least, reference to some characters in DEMON.

DARA NICHOLS is a hardcore, erotica offering that should not be misunderstood as romance. I've written roughly, 3 short novels compilations of this sexy, hot series. 18+ audience. Standalones.

ROAD KILL MC is primarly MC with back story that is heavily infused with Navy SEAL history and knotting lore. Gritty, passionate and authentic prose and dialog. Standalones.

FRENCH BILLIONAIRES - TOKEN. Before Billionaires and mafia was popular fiction Marata had her anitheroes scoped out and written. Broken men holding onto desperate control of their emotions, only to be shattered when they find love. Messy, dark journeys lead to ultra-awesome HEAs. Dive in. Books 3-5: Standalones.

BILLIONAIRES' GAME is a dark thrill-fest of international intrigue with alternate realities, soulmate seeking, love and grave danger. Standalones.

Note:

All my books are available through the subscription service, Kindle Unlimited.

Two prequels were written after I started both DEATH and SAVAGE (first books released within a few months of each other). 

DEATH INCEPTION

THE SAVAGE PRINCIPLE

Road Kill MC, FRENCH BILLIONAIRES -TOKEN, BILLIONAIRES' GAME and ALPHA CLAIM are series where the novels are interconnected but all books are standalones.

DRUID, TOKEN and ALPHA CLAIM were all originally written as novellas or novelettes at a time when that was popular. I've [now] compiled all of these shorts into readable, full-length stories to be consumed and enjoyed more easily by my readers. 

FRENCH BILLIONAIRES - TOKEN used to be named "The Token." I've since retitled all five novels to break down confusion for "Token 1," Token 2," and so on.
