Should the Dark Hunter series be read in order?

[Autumnwitch]

I was wondering, I found 1 on audio (quick fix) that I downloaded from the library- Devil May Cry, and loved it. I was wondering if they should be read in order- or is it ok to jump around. I want to get Dark Hunters Companion- so I can keep people straight (and I wish her website had a link to know how to say the names- hint to Ms. Kenyon!)

I think you should read them in order. Their is a secondary story arc/world plot that runs through most of the books. At the very least, you better understand references to other characters if you have already read their stories. I am trying to remember...I don't *think* you necessarily need to read the ones in order before Devil May cry, but you for sure should read them in order after that one! =)

Hope this helps!!

Thanks- it does- I hope I can find all her other books, are they yet in print?

Here is a link to the direct page on the author's website that shows the covers, excerpts and the suggested reading order. If I remember correctly only Dream Warrior and Bad Moon Rising are not yet out in print, but all the rest are usually easy to find in bookstores, or online shops. If you look around there may even be a free read on there somewhere. =)
The author also has an e-mail list and myspace page (it says on the link above how to access both, I believe,) and either of those may also be helpful to you.
Enjoy!

Yes and don't forget that Fantasy Lover is actually a pre-quil to this series... it helps to read it first if you can... but frankly I read the first 5 out of order.

I've read them out of order, which just fueled my addiction because then I had to know what happened before. If you have never read any of them I would say read them in order if you can, but really I think you will get hooked no matter what order you read them.
