Phenomenal Fate Books in Order

Phenomenal Fate is Bailey’s foray into paranormal romance: a trilogy of vampire-and-fey love stories full of quests, prophecies, and the same dirty talk you’d expect in her contemporary work, just with more fangs.

Reborn Yesterday begins with funeral home director Ginny Lynn working another quiet night—until the handsome corpse on her table sits up and opens his eyes. Jonas Cantrell is a centuries-old vampire who was never supposed to reveal himself to a human, but his instant, inexplicable bond with Ginny shatters that rule. He tries to erase her memory to keep her safe from the underworld, only to discover a secret that ties their lives together far more tightly than either expected.

Their story plays with gothic tropes—graveyards, secret societies, forbidden attraction—but grounds them in Ginny’s lonely, practical life and Jonas’s struggle between duty and desire. Human and vampire, past and present, safety and freedom all collide as they fight for a future that doesn’t require one of them to forget the other.

This Time Tomorrow shifts the focus to Roksana, the hard-partying, secretly anxious heir to the vampire slayer throne. She’s failed once already to kill Elias, a brooding vampire who was human the night they shared a charged, half-remembered encounter in Las Vegas. Dragged back to Moscow in disgrace, she’s given one last chance: complete three dangerous tasks, including finally staking Elias.

The catch is that Elias remembers her far more clearly than he lets on, and their cat-and-mouse dynamic is as much about unprocessed feelings as it is about blades and blood. Roksana’s journey is about clawing her way out of other people’s expectations—her mother’s, her court’s, even Elias’s—while he has to face what it means to love someone who was born to destroy him.

In Today Tomorrow and Always, wisecracking, cigar-smoking vampire Tucker wants nothing to do with epic quests. He drives for a rideshare app, minds his own business, and pretends his human heart is fully dead. Then he’s hired to ferry Mary, a blind fairy with a literal glass-shattering scream, to her arranged marriage with an evil vampire whose union could start a supernatural war.

Their ensuing road trip is equal parts monster movie, rom-com, and found-family caper. As they dodge danger and confront the tangled politics of their world, Tucker and Mary have to decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for each other—and whether they can rewrite a destiny that was centuries in the making.

Phenomenal Fate offers portal doors, enchanted weapons, and plenty of underworld intrigue, but its core is familiar: bruised, lonely people finding someone who sees them clearly and chooses them anyway.
