Reading Order
Where to start? You can start reading Christie’s standalone books first if they stand out to you, or you can dive into her first universe, Mesa Boys. Most of Christie’s books feature young adult characters (except for the vampires, of course!) and so the same themes are common – young men healing from trauma, coming out, family ties, all the things that go along with first times and discovering your true self.

The Obsession
