The Aria Brandt series by Rylie Dark is a psychological thriller sequence built around a single unsettling idea: the people you think you know may be complete strangers. Each of the five books introduces a new figure in Aria’s orbit whose real identity is concealed. The Unknown Woman kicks things off, followed by The Unknown Wife, The Unknown Neighbor, The Unknown Guest, and The Unknown Past.
The consistent title structure signals that this is a series about trust, deception, and the gaps between what people present to the world and what they actually are. Aria Brandt is at the center of it all, forced to question her own judgment as she peels back layer after layer. The books were all released in 2024 and should be read in publication order since the revelations build on each other.
