The Casquette Girls books in chronological order
Series background & context
The Casquette Girls is a young adult supernatural series set in a New Orleans still reeling from a devastating storm. It mixes witches, vampires, family history, romance, and local legends, with the French Quarter serving as more than a backdrop. The city is wounded, eerie, and full of people trying to rebuild, which gives the magic a real sense of consequence.
The story begins with sixteen-year-old Adele Le Moyne returning home with her father after time away in Paris. She wants school, friends, and a version of normal life, but New Orleans has changed. Strange deaths, unfamiliar faces, and a sealed attic lead her toward an inherited power she does not understand, along with clues left by an ancestor whose life is tied to the city's earliest history.
Adele is not left to face it alone. Her friendships with Désirée, Isaac, and other young people grow into a coven built around trust, practice, and the need to keep one another safe. At the same time, Adele is drawn into the orbit of Niccolò Medici, a vampire whose charm, grief, and hidden motives make every choice more complicated.
Nothing in this city stays buried for long.
The first book, The Casquette Girls, sets up the series' central problem, a centuries-old curse linked to vampires and the women who first tried to stop them. The Romeo Catchers follows the fallout as Adele and her friends face new threats while secrets strain the people closest to her. The emotional stakes are as important as the supernatural ones, especially as Adele's feelings for Isaac and Nicco pull her in different directions.
In The Cities of Dead and The Gates of Guinée, the world widens beyond the first curse. Ghost Drinkers, restless spirits, old enemies, and the mysteries of the Afterworld raise the danger for both the coven and the city. Adele has to reckon with loss, responsibility, and the hard fact that protecting people may mean working beside someone she does not fully trust.
Expect a moody, character-driven fantasy with storm-damaged streets, historic journals, graveyards, and magic that reaches across centuries. The books are best read in order, starting with The Casquette Girls, because each installment builds on Adele's relationships, the rules of the magic, and the unfinished problems left behind by the one before it.
