A Series Overview of Elle Thorne's Shifter Forever Worlds series!
Let’s explore Elle Thorne’s Shifter Forever Worlds universe together. Ten series. 49 books. One universe.
I’ve been pretty busy with revamping Infinitely Chelle that I haven’t read as much as I want to. I only read 2 books in April. So for March, I want some shorter reads.
What better way to do that than continue with Elle Thorne’s Shifters Forever Worlds series! I really enjoyed series one – Shifters Forever – and you can read my review of that here. If the rest of the Shifters Forever Worlds series is just like Shifters Forever…. then *chef’s kiss*
But before jumping into series two, I wanted to write this little overview of the the Shifters Forever Worlds universe. Just as much as this is for you, my readers – it’s also for me. Almost like a reading guide… so no, there won’t be any spoilers. I’ll also be updating this post everytime I finish one of the series.
Why am I writing this when you can find the same information on the internet? When I was searching up the Shifters Forever Worlds series, I would get confused on the reading order. Amazon organizes the series in order of its publication, right? So with the Shifters Forever Worlds series, Amazon has them listed per book – it’s how I know there’s 47 books in the series. However, when you look up the boxsets of the series, it’s not in the same order.
I also used Elle Thorne’s official website to determine the reading order. If it weren’t for her website, I would’ve completely missed the tenth series: Finally After Dark! Why? Because Finally After Dark doesn’t come in a boxset yet! The latest book of the series was just published in November of 2022!
So I just wanted to compile this reading order for the series in the way that makes sense in my head.

This one seems like an interesting read! The origin story of shifters in this universe! The last book in this series, Savage, was just published late fall of last year (2022) – that is why this series doesn’t come in a boxset yet. You know, just incase you were wondering.
