The Diablo Lake series by Lauren Dane runs three books, opening with Moonstruck in 2016 and closing with Awakened in 2021. The titles — Moonstruck, Protected, Awakened — suggest a world with a supernatural or paranormal edge, where characters go through some kind of change or coming-into-power over the course of the series.
There is a notable gap between Protected (2017) and Awakened (2021), meaning readers who picked up the first two books on release waited several years for the final entry. All three are now available, making this a complete trilogy that can be read straight through. Starting with Moonstruck is the right call, as the series builds its world from that first book outward.
