I sometimes wish authors would just number their series clearly on the cover in big bold print. Some of her older editions have tiny, easy-to-miss numbers. Newer ones are better. Until publishers standardize that, we'll have to rely on community resources.

The audiobook productions vary by series. If you're an audio listener, the 'Elite Guardians' series is narrated by Callie Beaulieu, who does a great job. 'Blue Justice' is narrated by a different narrator. Some listeners have a strong preference.
You might sample the audio of 'Always Watching' (Elite Guardians #1) and 'Oath of Honor' (Blue Justice #1) to see which narrator's style you prefer. That can be a legitimate tiebreaker. Following the series order in audio is especially important because the narrator becomes the voice of those characters consistently.

Wait, did she co-write anything? Sometimes authors do collaborations that throw off a solo publication order list. I think Eason has mainly written solo, but if there's a co-written novella in a collection, would that count? This is why definitions matter. Are we listing only books where she's the sole author? See, it gets complicated fast!

Wait, is there any debate about the order? I thought it was super clear. Elite Guardians #1 through #4. The covers even have a consistent design that makes them easy to line up. Sometimes series get confusing with novellas and crossovers, but this one is pretty clean. The only extra is the 'Protecting Tanner Hollow' collection, which is clearly marketed as a set of linked novellas, not a main series entry. So stick with the numbered ones.

My book club did this series! We read one a month for four months in order. The discussions were fantastic because we could trace themes—like the different forms of courage, or how each protagonist grapples with trust. Reading out of order would have fractured that thematic analysis. For a deeper read, order provides a coherent study in character.

The fandom wiki probably has a timeline. Why are we all trying to figure this out from memory? The internet exists for this exact problem. I'm going to go look it up and report back. Maybe.

The discussion around order is more engaging than some of the later plots, if I'm being honest. It gives fans something to talk about beyond 'that fight scene was cool.' It adds a layer of depth to a series that is often dismissed as pure pulp. In that sense, the timeline vs. publication debate is a feature, not a bug.

The most compelling reason? Fandom discussion. If you want to talk about the books online, everyone references events by publication order. If you're reading on a different timeline, you'll constantly have to mentally translate or risk huge spoilers. It's easier to just be on the same page as everyone else.
