Gemini/Lorimar Pack Books in Order

These two linked series sit inside the wider Black Dog world, and they work best when you think of them as neighboring roads through the same supernatural setting. Gemini follows Camille Ellis, an Earthen Conclave investigator whose talent and trauma make her especially good at chasing the kinds of cases no one else wants. Lorimar Pack shifts to Dell Preston, a warg caught up in border tensions, pack loyalty, and a war with Faerie that keeps edging closer.

Different heroines, same storm system.

Cam's books lean more investigative. She is pulled into murders, serial crimes, and conspiracies that tie into the larger supernatural order, and her relationship with Cord Graeson gives the series some of its emotional weight. The cases are messy and often personal, and Cam has the kind of history that makes every clue sting a little harder.

Dell's books are more openly pack-centered and war-driven. She is responsible, overworked, and fiercely tied to her people, which means even the romantic tension with Isaac is tangled up with duty. Butler, Tennessee and the border pressure from Faerie give the Lorimar Pack books a more militarized, communal feel. Survival is not just about one heroine making it through the night. It is about whether her whole town can hold.

What links both threads is the worldbuilding. The rift between Earth and Faerie, the conclave, shifters, fae refugees, territorial politics, and the sense that one localized problem is always about to become a larger conflict all carry across the books. Read them together and the world feels richer. You see the same setting through different jobs, loyalties, and emotional pressures.

If you want to start with an investigation and a slow-burn case arc, begin with Dead in the Water. If you want more pack dynamics and looming war, Promise the Moon is the better first stop. Either way, these books reward readers who like shared-world urban fantasy that keeps widening without losing sight of the people at its center.
