Could you please post the order I’m supposed to read your books. I was just about to start but the name/ numbering is confusing. Thank you I look forward to reading them.

 Author Update – Crestwood, Forbidden Legacy & What’s Coming Next 
          
          Hey loves! Quick update from your chaos queen — because there’s a lot happening behind the scenes, and I want to keep you in the loop.
          
           Blood Oath and ️ Crown of Venom — the final two books in the Crestwood series — are still live and staying right where they are. These versions have been read thousands of times and they hold so much of Georgia and the boys’ journey. If you’ve already fallen in love (or bled out emotionally) reading them, thank you. You were part of their first breath.
          
          That said… I do plan to revisit these books down the line with full edits and a more polished “social edition” release. These rewrites will deepen the slow burn, tighten the structure, and lean even more into the dark romance unraveling I know you love.
          
           Why now? Because Forbidden Legacy is on the Wattys Shortlist (!!!) and my new series is officially in the works — and I want to give it the time and obsessive love it deserves. Once the dust settles from launching the new project, I’ll be circling back to update Blood Oath and Crown of Venom in the background.
          
          So if you’re diving into Crestwood for the first time now, welcome. If you’ve been here since chapter one—thank you for trusting me. And if you’re waiting for the updated versions, just know they are coming, and they’ll hurt beautifully in all the best new ways. 
          
          Stay tuned, stay unhinged my loves 
          
          — Elle
          

 COMING SOON 
          
          The Veylore Academy Saga: Book One — The Fifth Hollow
          “Every secret has a cost. Mine demanded everything.”
          
          They say Veylore University is where heirs are made.
          They don’t tell you it’s where they’re destroyed.
          
          The Circle doesn’t recruit. It consumes.
          And once you’re inside, devotion isn’t a choice—it’s punishment dressed as worship.
          
          I was never supposed to find the Fifth.
          They erased its name, buried its bloodline, and swore it never existed.
          But secrets have a way of clawing back through the dark.
          And mine? It bleeds.
          
          This story isn’t gentle.
          It’s ritual and ruin. Power and punishment.
          Love that burns slow until you’re begging for the flame.
          
          The Fifth Hollow is coming soon.
          Early chapters will drop first on REAM before Wattpad gets them.
          You’ve been warned.

 Update from your favorite chaos gremlin author (and her very opinionated fictional boyfriends):
          
          Hey friends 
          I’ve just returned from a much-needed vacation (sunshine, snacks, questionable impulse purchases — 10/10, would recommend).
          BUT I’M BACK — and catching up on all your beautiful, emotional, unhinged, glorious comments and messages.
          
          JAXON: “We missed you. Don’t act like we didn’t. I personally started a spreadsheet titled ‘People I Love Who Abandoned Me for Sand.’ You’re in column A.”
          
          KELLEN: “She’ll be reading every comment. Don’t panic if it takes time — she’s thorough. I have a system. No, you can’t see it.”
          
          BASH: “She needed the break. And she is catching up. Obediently.”
          
          GAGE: “If anyone tries to guilt-trip her for disappearing, I’ve got a belt with their name on it. Figuratively. Mostly.”
          
          Also — while I was gone, something huge happened.
          
          FORBIDDEN LEGACY made the Wattys Shortlist.
          Out of thousands of stories, 95 were chosen… and mine is one of them. I’m still in awe.
          And it wouldn’t have happened without you.
          
          Your votes, your support, your completely feral love for Georgia and her very stabby harem — I see it. I feel it. I’m so, so grateful for it.
          
          JAXON: “If we win, I’m getting a commemorative hoodie that says ‘I survived the Wattys and all I got was emotionally obliterated by Lia (AKA your favorite unhinged Author Elle DD).’”
          
          KELLEN: “And I’m logging every single vote. Not obsessively. Just… precisely.”
          
          BASH: “Keep voting. Stay loyal.”
          
          GAGE: “And don’t stop now. We’re not finished.”
          
          So: thank you. I love you. I’m back. I’ve missed you. Let’s burn a path to victory together.
          
           Lia aka Elle (& the Murder Committee)
          

⚠️ Update from your friendly neighborhood chaos author:
          
          Okay sooooo… the cover for Forbidden Legacy had to get a glow-up thanks to some slightly murdery Wattpad rules  (respectfully, I get it — rules are rules, even for blood queens).
          
          BUT DON’T PANIC:
          I swapped it out with something even darker, bloodier, and more on-brand for my feral little heirloom of a story.
          
          TLDR:
          New cover. Same secrets. Same knives. Same girl no one saw coming.
          
          Love you forever,
          Elle DD (your favorite legacy-wrecking menace)
