OR

KAILEE’S WRITTEN ORDER

(*click the words above to go to the PRINTABLE list*)

The choice is totally up to you!

THERE IS NO WRONG ORDER IN READING SAL.

Rarely does anyone EVER go in order!

Kailee Books are an interconnected saga in one world focusing on SAL RANIERO.

The standalone and series books are “chapters” of his life as he matures from young man to Capo.

From the first book to the last book, Sal’s evolution is profound.

BDSM, MAFIA, romantic suspense, psychological thriller, and realism.

The TAT Books encompass all of my elements in a genre-busting style.

Juliet is the lightest; later TAT books are the darkest.

Recommended starting books: 22, Bad Girl, A&E, She/He, Poppy, Beautiful Things Evil People Do, and the other side of unhappy.

a Tomb of Ashen Tears Books 

referred to as: TAT Books, TAT Series, TAT MAFIA

**This series is the author’s personal favorite!

Iris & Sal’s Epic Dark Mafia Romance. These books range from 500-1300 pages. They are intense, detailed, and interwoven and unapologetically deal with HEAVY topics.

Expect lots of blood and booty.

Fantastical realism, grim, tragic, and yet remarkably beautiful as they grow into adulthood.

Books 1 & 2 are slower-paced, offering backstory and build-up. Things rapidly unfurl and deteriorate, slipping into a dark abyss in Book 3 and do not stop. I recommend pausing between episodes (sections) and reading TAT with a sip and savor mentality. Not recommended for slammers, skimmers, or those looking for a quick fix.
