Home Books in Order

Stephanie Andrassy's Home series is paranormal romance, but it begins in a very ordinary place, a night out, a quiet bar, and a group of friends who do not yet understand how strange their lives are about to become. The big hook is a good one. Six friends agreed to play a game, chose to die before thirty, and then forgot why. That forgotten choice hangs over every book.

The doorway into the series is The White Peacock, a short prologue that introduces Juliette on girls' night at a bar with the same name. From there, Just Live, Juliette! opens the world properly. Juliette wakes into a reality that feels almost like life as she knew it, only shifted. She has to deal with death, love, memory, and the unsettling discovery that the Other Side is not as distant or abstract as she might have imagined.

The setting matters here. Home is not written as a cloudy, faraway heaven with no texture. It feels close to the everyday world, with houses, streets, conversations, old feelings, and new rules. That overlap gives the series its mood. The characters are dead, but their grief, jealousy, hope, attraction, and unfinished business are all very much alive.

Perspective is one of the best things about the series. After Juliette leads the way, the story keeps moving forward through different friends rather than starting over each time. Rocks Don't Cry turns to Melissa, Rhapsody in Red shifts to Joanie, and Always and Evermore follows Sam. Each book reveals more of the same puzzle, so the mystery gets wider and more personal at the same time.

Death changes the address, not the heart.

Across the books, the ongoing tension comes from two places. One is romantic: who belongs with whom, what love can survive, and whether honesty arrives too late. The other is structural: why these friends made such a drastic bargain before birth, what the game is meant to prove, and how much free will they really have once the plan is in motion. The tone is emotional and supernatural, but it stays focused on people rather than spectacle.

If you are wondering where to begin, start with The White Peacock and then move straight into Just Live, Juliette!. The short story works as an invitation, and the first novel shows the series at full size. After that, the books are best read in order, because each one picks up where the last ends and adds a new point of view. If you like afterlife romance, friendship drama, and a mystery that unfolds piece by piece, Home is built exactly that way.
