The Heather Wells series is an adult mystery series that features former pop star, Heather Wells.<ref name=":4" /> Heather was once a teen star but was fired by her recording company when she asked to sing songs she had written instead of the ones they composed for her. The book opens just after Heather has gotten a job as a residential house coordinator at New York College and quickly discovers that young girls in the dorm are being murdered.<ref name=":4" />
The second book was originally titled ''Phat Chick'', but this was changed by the publishers to ''It's Not Over Until the Size 12 Chick Sings'', and finally, ''Size 14 is Not Fat Either'', which continued Heather's amateur sleuthing adventures.
The third book in the series is published under the title ''Size Doesn't Matter'' in Australia and Great Britain.<ref name=":4" />(In other countries, such as the U.S. and Canada, it was titled ''Big Boned''.)<ref name=":4" /> In ''Size Doesn't Matter'', Heather solves another mystery and is involved in a love triangle with Tad, her boyfriend, and Cooper, whom she secretly loves, but who rejected her.
In March 2008 the series was contracted for two additional books, which were released in 2012 and 2013.

The first book, ''Insatiable'', was released on June 8, 2010, and became an instant ''New York Times'' bestseller. This series is a modern retelling of Bram Stoker's ''[[Dracula]]'', but the main character, Meena Harper, can foretell people's death. She's being forced by the television show for which she works to write vampires into the plot due to their popularity.<ref name=":4" /> Meena, however, hates vampires (she doesn't believe in them, and doesn't like how they always go after and kill girls). This complicates things when she finds out from Alaric Wulf, a demon-hunter with a secret unit of the Vatican called the Palatine Guard, that vampires are attacking girls all over her native New York City, and that her new boyfriend might be one of them: Lucien Antonescu, Dracula's son, the Prince of Darkness. A sequel to ''Insatiable'' called ''Overbite'' was released on July 5, 2011.<ref>[http://www.megcabot.com/2010/11/giving-thanks/ Giving Thanks | | Meg CabotMeg Cabot].
