The Hillers of Barratt County is one of Calle J. Brookes’s newer series, with six books published rapidly between late 2024 and 2025. The series centers on the Hiller family in rural Barratt County, and each book follows a different family member or close associate as they face danger and find romance.
The titles (The Risk, The Hunt, The Chance, The Plan, The Truth, The Prey) are short and direct, matching the fast-paced storytelling Brookes is known for. The quick release schedule means readers do not have to wait long between installments, and the tight family focus gives the series a strong throughline even though each book has its own central couple.
Barratt County connects to Brookes’s broader fictional world, and readers of her Finley Creek books may recognize the setting. New readers can start here without prior knowledge of her other series, though.
