Blue is for Nightmares (2003) introduced Stacey Brown, a teenage Wiccan at a boarding school whose recurring nightmare about a girl being murdered begins to look less like a dream and more like a warning. The book mixes Wiccan practice, romantic tension, and mystery in a setting that gave Stolarz plenty of atmosphere to work with.
White Is for Magic, Silver Is for Secrets, and Red is for Remembrance followed in 2004 and 2005, completing the original four-book arc. Black is for Beginnings (2009) is a graphic novel companion, and Blue Is Also for Dreaming (2023) returned to the series after a long gap. The series as a whole has sold over 500,000 copies and remains one of the defining YA paranormal mystery series of the 2000s.
The books work best in publication order — Stacey’s story develops across the series and the mystery elements build on earlier installments. Start with Blue is for Nightmares.
