APF Books in Order

The APF series takes Zane’s fascination with secret lives and turns it into a full-blown underground sisterhood. APF stands for Alpha Phi F***em, a fictional sorority devoted not to community service or campus politics, but to sexual freedom and mutual protection among its members.

The first book, The Sisters of APF: The Indoctrination of Soror Ride Dick, begins far from the big-city settings that define much of her work. Mary Ann is the eldest daughter of a chicken farmer in South Dakota, a responsible young woman who has never lived more than a short drive from home. When she wins a scholarship to law school in Washington, D.C., her parents are proud and anxious in equal measure—and Mary Ann herself has no idea how completely her life is about to change.

On campus she meets Patricia, the sophisticated resident manager of her dorm, who spots both Mary Ann’s innocence and the hint of curiosity underneath it. As Patricia takes Mary Ann under her wing, she introduces her to a circle of women bound together by APF, a secret organization that stages elaborate “freak nights,” tests recruits, and asks its members to own their desires rather than apologize for them. The book follows Mary Ann’s crash course in city life, sexuality, and power, weaving in campus gossip, complicated romances, and the politics of a group that can be both liberating and intimidating.

Head Bangers: An APF Sexcapade shifts the spotlight to twins Hope and Faith at Crockett University in D.C. Outwardly, they’re just two fun-loving students from Atlanta. Within APF, they’re Soror Ride ’em High and Soror Lick ’em Low—nicknames that hint at their reputations on the sorority’s legendary party nights. They share an almost eerie physical connection, to the point that one feels echoes of the other’s pleasure, but that bond is tested when they fall for the same man.

The second book dives deeper into the internal rules and rituals of APF while exploring jealousy, loyalty, and the limits of sisterhood. Hope and Faith’s rivalry forces them to ask whether the sorority’s creed of sexual freedom can coexist with old-fashioned hurt feelings, and whether the group is a sanctuary or just another source of pressure.

Taken together, the APF novels are campus stories, erotica, and coming-of-age tales rolled into one. They’re packed with explicit scenes and outrageous set pieces, but they also pause to show how young women from very different backgrounds learn to negotiate consent, reputation, and self-respect in spaces that don’t always prioritize their safety.

Readers who enjoy ensemble casts and a heightened, almost mythic version of college life will find plenty here. Start with The Sisters of APF to see how the sorority is born on the page, then move to Head Bangers for a sharper, more tangled look at what membership really costs.
