Bullied Books in Order

The Bullied series starts with a brutally simple question: what happens when the kid everyone picks on finally gets power? Seth Moore is 18, lives in rural Maine, and has spent years being mocked, cornered, and worn down by classmates who know exactly how far they can push him. Then a mysterious amulet enters the picture. It gives Seth telekinetic force and other unnatural advantages, and suddenly the boy who has always been vulnerable can hit back.

That tension is the whole point.

Smith does not treat the setup like a clean revenge fantasy. Bullied is rooted in humiliation, social isolation, and the rage that builds when nobody steps in soon enough. Seth wants relief, respect, and maybe a little justice. What he gets is power that responds to anger as much as judgment. Every choice becomes harder after that. The amulet can protect him, but it can also pull him toward the very cruelty he hates. That question, whether Seth can fight back without turning into another bully, gives the series its edge.

Across Revenge, Witch, and War, the story opens up from school terror into a wider supernatural conflict. The amulet has a history, and Seth is not the only one who understands its value. Friends like Alex and Jennifer get dragged deeper into the fallout, and the unsettling Jim hovers nearby as both helper and warning sign. Once more amulets appear, the stakes jump fast. Seth is no longer dealing only with cruel teenagers and broken adults. He is dealing with people who want power, know how to use it, and will happily leave bodies behind.

The witches raise the stakes fast.

Anna, and later the force behind her, push the books into open magical warfare, but the series never loses sight of where the anger began. Even when the conflict gets bigger, Seth is still a young man trying to hold on to himself after years of being treated like he did not matter. That is what gives the later books some weight. The external fight grows, but the internal one stays just as important.

These are quick, dark reads with a strong sense of momentum. They sit somewhere between YA suspense, paranormal thriller, and revenge story, and they are more interested in emotional pressure than in slow world-building. If you want a series about bullying that refuses to stay realistic for long, but still keeps its emotional wound front and center, Bullied is an easy one to understand. The magic is flashy. The hurt underneath it is not.
