Which Blair Bryan Books Should You Read First?

The best place to start is Hawt Flash, Book 1 of the Midlife in Aura Cove series, the bestselling series that introduced readers to the magical, mischievous world of Aura Cove. If you love funny paranormal women's fiction, women over 40 finding their footing, unexpected magic, complicated families, and fierce female friendships, this is the perfect place to begin. The six-book series follows a cast of three generations of witches conspiring with karma to get justice for women.

If you love time travel and quirky characters, start with Nevermore, Book 1 of the four-book Aura Cove Temporal Traveler series. Meet Neve, a neurodivergent heroine who finds herself hurled back to the 1980s with a former con man trapped inside the body of an African grey parrot. It's a little magical, a little ridiculous, and wildly entertaining.

Are Blair Bryan's Books Part of a Series?

YES! Blair Bryan's paranormal women's fiction books are set in one interconnected magical world: the Aura Cove Universe. There are three series, (so far) each with its own unforgettable characters, adventures, and plenty of troublemaking magic. You can follow your favorite characters across series or jump into a new story and discover a different corner of the universe.

1. Midlife in Aura Cove

This is where it all began! The bestselling six-book series follows Katie, Yuli, Zoya, and an unforgettable cast of women. With witches, karma, enchanted chocolates, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, these women prove that life after 50 is anything but boring.

2. Aura Cove Temporal Traveler

Ready for a trip through time? This four-book spin-off follows Nevermore LaRue, a neurodivergent middle-aged heroine trying to figure out why her father disappeared. Armed with a temporal crystal and accompanied by Peregrine, a very opinionated African grey parrot, Neve travels through the past uncovering family secrets, righting wrongs, and changing lives.

3. Aura Cove Crones

Meet Dort Castillo, a brutally honest 68-year-old former advice columnist who discovers that retirement doesn't mean settling down. When an HOA infraction lands her the job of editing her retirement community newspaper, she launches the Ask the Crone advice column and stirs up magical mayhem with a little help from her smack-talking sugar gliders.
