Kissing With Teeth Books in Order

If My Ghost Roommate is Banner's playful paranormal side, Kissing With Teeth is the darker answer to it. This series opens with Kyle Amos, whose life is effectively shattered by falling for a monster and becoming something monstrous himself. By the time the first book starts moving, he is already carrying loss, danger, and a secret that makes ordinary life impossible.

That gives the series a much more intense emotional baseline. Kyle is not just meeting someone cute while ghosts rattle cupboards. He is trying to pass as normal in a cursed town while dragging a buried past behind him. Then Elias arrives and ruins any chance of keeping things quiet. Attraction is there, but it is tangled up with suspicion, violence, history, and the constant fear that the truth will break everything open.

The series has a vampire flavor, but it is clearly Banner's own version of that kind of story. He is interested in hunger, secrecy, predatory danger, and the messy question of whether love means anything when survival keeps demanding the ugliest parts of you. The cursed-town setting helps too. It lets the books feel isolated, morally unstable, and thick with things nobody is saying aloud.

By the time you get to Envious of Fire, the story is already deeper into its own mythology and much less interested in easy comfort. The violence is sharper. The secrets go further back. The romance matters, but it matters inside a world that does not feel safe enough to protect it.

This series has teeth, on purpose.

Because it is darker and more continuous, reading in order is the way to go. Kyle's emotional baggage is not the sort of thing you can skip past, and the series wants you to understand how much damage he is carrying before it starts asking what healing might even look like for someone like him.

So if you want Banner writing paranormal romance with more danger than coziness, this is the series to pick up. It is moody, bloody, and emotionally charged, with cursed places, seductive strangers, and the sense that desire can be as threatening as anything supernatural. It is one of his strongest fits for readers who like monster romance to feel genuinely unsettling.
