      How to Read The Witch series

      🟡 Mostly Standalone · Start Anywhere

      Mostly standalone stories with recurring characters in a shared setting.

      The Witch series does not need to be read in order. Each book tells a complete story with its own resolution. Continuity is limited to recurring characters and setting. Reading out of order does not cause confusion, as every book clearly establishes Lynn’s suspicions and delivers a full, self-contained mystery.
