Q: "What is the first book in the NuLife series?"

"The first book in the NuLife series is Valhalla, published in 2019."

Q: "Do I need to read the Peyton Clark series before starting NuLife?"

"The NuLife series begins with Valhalla, which is also the final book of the Peyton Clark series, so reading Peyton Clark first gives you useful context and a smoother entry into the NuLife world. That said, Mallory writes in a way that new readers can follow along, so jumping in cold at Gangland or later is also workable."

NuLife picks up where the Peyton Clark series ends, running from 2019 through 2023 across eight books. The series opens with Valhalla before moving into Gangland, and then takes a notable tonal shift with the later entries, which carry titles like Hillbillies and HellHounds, Shotguns and Shifters, and Bumpkins and Banshees. That shift is part of a period when Mallory was pushing her paranormal fiction into rougher, more rural American settings.

The later NuLife books overlap significantly with the Trailer Park Vampire series, and some titles appear in both series listings. Mallory built these two series as interlocking parts of the same world, with characters and events crossing over between them. Readers who start one will likely want to read the other alongside it to get the full picture of what’s happening.

By the time the series concludes with Trappers and Trolls in 2023, Mallory has taken the world from the relatively grounded paranormal mystery of the Peyton Clark books into much stranger and more comedic territory. The NuLife series rewards readers who enjoy watching an author push the limits of a world they’ve spent years building.
