  • Delete. I can't find anything to show that this book series is notable enough to pass NBOOK. The first book won an award, however it looks like said award is one given out by a blogging group that apparently has been defunct since 2013 and only gave out a handful of awards. However even if it was still active it wouldn't be considered an award that would give even partial notability on Wikipedia - most awards don't, in all fairness. It looks like this gained some mild popularity and has a decent number of reviews on Amazon, however Amazon rankings and review numbers don't count towards anything on here for several reasons, one of which is that anyone can post a review there. (I could go into a huge lecture about how authors have been caught writing their own reviews or review swapping, but that's an aside and probably not what happened with this series - it's just that it happens and is another reason why Amazon and social media sites like Goodreads are unusable for establishing notability.)
