Lodestone Books in Order

Lodestone shifts Cherry Adair's suspense into more openly paranormal territory. At the center is a covert group of gifted men and women who can track people, objects, and answers when normal methods stop working. That gives the series a search-and-recovery feel, but the jobs are much stranger than that makes them sound.

The series begins with the Stark brothers in Hush, where kidnapping, jungle survival, and a baffling new ability kick the whole world sideways. From there the books widen out. Afterglow brings in chemical danger, old betrayals, and psychic talent. Relentless leans into hidden history, archaeology, and another dangerous chase across multiple countries.

What makes Lodestone different from T-FLAC is not only the paranormal element. It is also the mood. These books feel a little more secretive, a little more mysterious, and a little more interested in what happens when people discover abilities they do not fully understand. The characters are still practical, still under pressure, and still very much in romantic suspense territory, but there is more wonder and unease in the setup.

Adair does not turn the series into full fantasy. The paranormal gifts are threaded into kidnappings, conspiracies, missing persons, deadly substances, and high stakes hunts. That balance keeps the books grounded even when the powers are unusual. Readers still get danger, chemistry, and fast movement. They just get it with an extra charge running underneath.

If you like your suspense with psychic gifts, hidden networks, and a stronger paranormal shimmer, Lodestone is the Cherry Adair series that leans hardest in that direction. Start with Hush and follow the thread from there.
