      Looks right to me. The thing that might be throwing you off is that the Georgia spin-off series isn’t included here. Of course, I can easily fix that.

        Yeah, I’ve just finished reading Genesis (and Fractured straight after) and Will is in that. What’s the difference between the Georgia books and the Trent books? I’m guessing they both feature Will and Faith? I was about to start Fallen but see I should get Undone and Broken first. But when in the timeline are the Georgia books? I read the Grant County books a while ago but am enjoying the Trent books more.
