I have the same idea of dear qHnED7SnYgQs.just follow his comments.

In fact, the list provided by one of the commentators is quite extensive! I like the order of the necessary readings! Thanks so much for sharing!

You can read the different worlds in any order (so Demons before AP is no problem), or switch back and forth between worlds as long as you read each world in order and Dead End before [Infected 009.00 - Brian 03.00] War Day.

Once you've finished all of these (which is going to take a while, and Lament being optional as it's not strongly connected to any other story), then you should read the following stories in publication order:

2015-10-30 [AP 004.00 - Zack 03.00] Shield of Innocence
2015-12-19 [YA 018.00 - Dareg 02.00] Light Bringer

There are a number of books that are outside the multiverse, and you can read them at any time:

Cheat

Ijime (The Bullies)

Iron Edge

Vile Machinations

[CoF 001.00] Whisper
[CoF 002.00] Promethean
[CoF 003.00] Doctor Frankenstein

[CoM 001.00] Fletcher

[GC 001.00] Fear of Clowns, A

[Patriots 001.00] Patriot Smith

[TW 001.00] Art of Being Tony, The
[TW 002.00] Unstoppable Tony Winters, The
[TW 003.00] Heart of Tony Winters, The

I think this covers most of P.S. Powers books.

Hello Everyone.

It's incredibly challenging to maintain continuity and keep storylines coherent when reading to someone, especially if the process takes a considerable amount of time. Asking someone to remember characters and plotlines over such extended periods can be daunting, especially when transitioning between different series.

I've delved into Keeley 1-3, explored the shortcuts, and embarked on Keeley 4 with her. Is there a resource available that outlines the optimal points to switch between series, ensuring a seamless crossover experience? While I understand this approach can be effective, pinpointing these transition points across all the stories can be a Herculean task. While I've consumed all the material, I haven't meticulously cataloged these moments individually. I'm hoping to sidestep undertaking this exhaustive effort myself and instead find a wiki entry or similar resource that provides this information.

I understand your frustration. I had it all cataloged once years ago, but a few computers later I no longer have that.
