The Mindhunters series is Kylie Brant’s flagship work, spanning 9 books published between 2009 and 2017. The series follows forensic investigators and criminal profiling experts who tackle disturbing cases that test both their professional skills and personal limits. Originally published through Berkley and later through Brant’s own imprint, the books combine detailed investigative procedures with romantic subplots.

The series can be loosely grouped into three phases: the opening “Waking” trilogy (Waking Evil, Waking Nightmare, Waking the Dead), the “Deadly” trilogy (Deadly Intent, Deadly Dreams, Deadly Sins), and the final three books (Secrets of the Dead, What the Dead Know, Deep as the Dead). Reading in publication order is the best approach, since character relationships and backstories build across the full run.
