The Unlucky 13 series is a fourteen-book run of dark MM romance, with every entry published in 2023. The single-word titles (Broken, Wounded, Unfortunate, Damaged, Exception, Volatile, Consumed, Abysmal, Splintered, Scandal, Exiled, Reckless, Shattered) make the series easy to spot on a shelf and give an immediate sense of the emotional tone. A special edition of Broken also exists as a separate release.
The sheer volume of the series (fourteen books in one year) is notable even by Hayden Hall’s prolific standards. Each title focuses on a different dimension of conflict and recovery, and the progression of the single-word titles suggests a deliberate emotional arc from the first book to the last. For readers who prefer their romance with real emotional difficulty and high angst, this is one of Hall’s most concentrated efforts in that direction.
