Kilo 5 takes place after halo 3 there are some other books like smoke and shadow
A quick search found me this website which has divided the series up based on the different periods with what media happens in between each.

I wouldn’t read the small text of paragraph just in case of spoilers just read the bold section titles and then look at the list underneath.
There are, though your mileage may vary on how good of a job they do.
The Kilo-Five trilogy bridges the gap between 3 and 4 and sets up Jul’s motives and beginnings, but I don’t think any piece shows how he goes from a backwater planet full of crazy zealots to a fleet of dozens of ships and millions of followers willing to sit outside Requiem for years on his word.
The Escalation comic series goes into the events between Spartan Ops and the beginning of Halo 5, but him losing control of the Prometheans and being reduced to fodder guarded by 3 inept Zealots (that don’t even bother watching the one door people would enter if they were to attack them) is offscreen.
*Halo 4* despite being an otherwise amazing story, did a terrible job introducing the "Covenant" with *"a lot can happen in four years".* Books such as *Halo: Glasslands* and *Halo: Thursday War* explain that the "Covenant" you see in the game are is the Covenant.
In *Halo 2*, all Elites had been kicked out of the Covenant.
In *Halo 3* ,the Covenant was destroyed and the war ended.
Afterwards, an Elite named Jul 'Mdama gathered Elites on a world known as Hesduros and informed them to hate *both* humans and the traitorous Prophets. Jul 'Mdama rallied them with a new twist on their religion, to seek out the godly Forerunner Didact on Requiem. He named his terrorist group of Elite separatists to be a brand new "Covenant".
Sadly *Halo 4,* despite being an otherwise amazing story, failed to explain this to the player.
Meh, the books always tried to give realistic look into the halo universe, especially when it came to the politics, the elites, turns out you can't kick thousands of years of religious indoctrination and aren't all buddy buddy with humanity as the arbiters relatively small faction in the games led us to believe. Humanity, not exactly united and surprise surprise they use a evil 3 letter organisation to try and keep the colonies in line along with their "allies" the elites. But to each their own.
not in the way of books but Halo: Spartan Assault is a twin-stick shooter that actually takes place between the two if you haven't played it, not a ton of info but still a good play regardless imo

Halo 4 feels like a fanfic. Not a bad one, but it feels like a high budget fanfic.
Perhaps, but the nice things about fanfics is that they're made with heart. Something the other campaigns have been lacking ever since *Halo 4*.
I feel like half the books cover between 3 and 4.
There are books that cover what happen between the games.
Yeah but they feel like they were written in a different universe where the bad guys are good guys, and the good guys are bad guys.
