How Do The Lockwood And Co Books Connect In Series Order?
Reading the Lockwood & Co. series out of order is confusing; does each book follow chronologically, or are there prequel stories I might have missed?

For a practical answer: Google the titles and read them in the list order Wikipedia gives you. That's it. The connections are plentiful—recurring villains like the Fittes agency and the Orpheus Society, recurring allies like Inspector Barnes and Flo Bones. Their relationships change from book to book. Seeing Barnes go from annoyed bureaucrat to grudging ally only works in sequence.

The emotional through-line is the found family. In book one, they're coworkers. In book three, they're a strained team. In book five, they're an unbreakable unit willing to die for each other. That arc doesn't work if you read the moments of profound loyalty before you've read the moments of petty squabbling and misunderstanding. The series order makes the payoff earned.

From a collector's angle, the UK hardcover designs connect to form a single image across the spines—a silhouette of Lockwood & Co. in action. That's a pretty literal metaphor for the series! Each book is a piece of a larger portrait. You need all five, in order, to see the complete picture the author intended, both narratively and visually.

“This is your cheque.” He said, making her frown.
“I didn’t ask for your money.” She said, and he rolled his eyes.
“You didn’t need to. But you served, and you are getting paid for it.” He said coldly before walking toward the door. “Now just be sure to keep that mouth of yours shut about it…”
**********************************
She gave him one night.
He gave her money for it.
Mia knew it was reckless. Sleeping with a stranger, no names, no promises, just a fleeting escape from the weight of reality. But when the night ended, and he left cold bills on the nightstand like she was just another transaction, the burn of humiliation carved into her soul.
She hated him for it. Hated herself for needing the money too much to throw it back.
She never expected to see him again.
But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Because now he’s standing in her office… powerful, arrogant, and very much her new boss.
Nathan Lockwood doesn’t recognize her at first. To him, it was just one night. But for Mia, it was the night everything changed.
And when he finds out the secret she’s been hiding, the game between them turns into something far more dangerous than either of them ever anticipated.
He paid to forget her.
Now he’ll pay anything to keep her.
“Name your price,” he said, that arrogant smirk still intact.
“Do you want your job back?”
I didn’t hesitate. “Make me a director. Only then will I pretend to be your loving girlfriend.”
I thought he’d laugh. I didn’t expect him to say yes.
“Deal,” he replied, his gaze locking on mine.
“Just remember, Amaris Kennerly once you sign that contract, you belong to me.”

I’ve always wondered if I was cursed from birth because the kind of bad luck that haunts me feels almost supernatural.
People call me a computer genius, but my real talent is something no one sees. They say I’m beautiful, yet I bury that behind oversized clothes and a mountain of insecurities.
After dumping my cheating boyfriend, the only steady thing left in my life was my soul-sucking job until I lost that too. And the man responsible? Theron Lockhart.——My high school bully didn’t just return, he returned as the new CEO of my company. And his first executive move? Firing me and my entire department, like history repeating itself in the cruelest way.
He didn’t recognize me, which should’ve felt like relief. But fate clearly wasn’t done toying with me.
One moment, he was rescuing me from a run-in with my ex. The next, a rumor had spread: I was his girlfriend. And then the tables turned because Theron needed to avoid a scandal, and I was his best option.
Riko: Another relocation, another private school. I'm used to it by now. At least this is the last time my dad's job can make me move and change schools. I just need to keep my head down and finish high school. I figured Ravenwood couldn't be any different than every other private school I've been set to. Oh, how wrong I was. No other school I've attended had guys like the Frost triplets. That's right, TRIPLETS! And I don't know why they've sent their icy sights on me, but they've ruined my plans of just going unnoticed and finishing senior year.
Frost Triplets: Ravenwood has been a never-ending bore. Because we are Frosts, people kiss our ass from students to staff. They treat us like royalty. But, of course, we aren't, just from a very old and extremely rich family. None of them know us. Hell, they can't even tell us apart. Which usually suits us fine as we swap with each other for classes we don't like or even when dealing with girls. But it still pisses us off. It's been a long time since there was a new student at Ravenwood and who could blame us for deciding to tease her.
The Princes of Ravenwood Holiday Specials: Bonus holiday content showing Riko and her boys in their happily ever after as a family of eight. The good and the bad that being a polyamorous family of eight entails.

Cora was once the human ward of the Silver Moon Pack, a “charity case” tucked away in the shadows of a world ruled by predatory shifters.
For five years, she shared a secret, soul-deep bond with Silas Vane, the powerful Alpha-Heir who promised her a future beyond her servant-class status.
On the night of his coronation, Cora discovers she is pregnant with Silas’s heir—a miracle she believes will finally bridge the gap between their worlds.
However, the dream is shattered when Silas publicly announces his betrothal to Lady Elara, a Pureblood Luna, to solidify his political power.
When Cora confronts him, he ruthlessly dismisses their five-year history as a mere “distraction,” ordering her to remain in the servant’s wing and never speak of their past.
Realizing that Silas would likely seize her child while keeping her in a gilded cage—or worse—Cora decides to die so that she can finally live.
Years later, when a chance introduction forces them face-to-face, Cora must maintain her mask against Silas’s predatory instincts. Though her appearance is altered and her scent chemically suppressed, the raw, visceral hatred in her eyes captures Silas’s attention.
Suspecting that the “ghost” of his past is standing right in front of him, Silas begins a lethal game of cat-and-mouse.
Cora must now protect her son and her secrets from a King who has realized that the woman he erased was never truly gone.

The book order is clearly listed on any bookstore site, but what's more interesting is how the tone progresses. The first book is classic haunted-house adventure with a bright, trio-against-the-world feel. By 'The Hollow Boy', the mood darkens significantly with bureaucratic pressures and internal strife. 'The Creeping Shadow' feels almost like a noir-tinged solo journey, before 'The Empty Grave' pulls the team back together for a grand, explosive finale. The chronology isn't just about case numbers; it's about watching these kids grow up under immense pressure, and the writing matures alongside them.
My friend tried to start with 'The Creeping Shadow' because the cover looked cool. She was so confused about why Lucy was working alone and who the skull was. She thought it was a sequel to a different series! I had to gently guide her back to book one. The narrative is so continuous; it's practically one very long novel split into five parts.
I have all five lined up on my e-reader. The perfect binge. There's something satisfying about a series with a clear beginning, middle, and end. No spin-offs, no extended universe (yet). Just a tight, five-book arc. Cherish that. Read them in the order the author wrote them, and you'll get the complete story he wanted to tell.
What about the short story 'The Dagger in the Desk'? It's set between books one and two. It's a fun, contained case. If you're a purist, read it after 'The Screaming Staircase'. But it's not required. The main arc is entirely in the five novels. My two cents: read the five main books in order first. If you finish and are desperate for more, then read the short stories. They're like deleted scenes— enjoyable, but not part of the essential plot. So, priority is 1-2-3-4-5.
