What Is The Reading Order For The Alpha'S Gifted Luna Series?

'The Alpha's Gifted Luna' is one of those series where order actually changes the emotional payoff—so I stick to publication order. Start with the first full novel the author released (the one labeled Book 1 on storefronts). After that, follow the numbered books in sequence: Book 2 then Book 3 and so on. Most authors of these shifter-romance series release short companion novellas or side stories and label them with decimals (1.5, 2.5). Treat those decimal novellas as bridge pieces—if you want the story beats and immediate character follow-ups as they were revealed to readers, slot each novella right after the book number that precedes it (so read 1, then 1.5, then 2, then 2.5, etc.).

If you're the kind of reader who prefers a clean, uninterrupted main-plot experience, you can postpone the novellas until after you finish the main numbered entries; they'll still enrich characters and sideplots, but they often assume you've met the principal cast already. Also look for any titled short stories that might be promotional freebies—those are usually safe to read after the first book because they introduce tone and voice but don't always add major spoilers. To be concrete in practice: check the ebook listing or the back cover where most authors put a series list with numbering. If a story is labeled 'Book 0' or 'Prologue' it can be read before Book 1 for worldbuilding, but I personally read prologues only once I care about the world, because some prologues are teasers rather than true entry points.

On a personal note, I mixed things up when I first read this series—main novels on commutes, novellas during lazy weekend mornings—and it kept momentum without burning out on one long arc. Sometimes a 1.5 novella gave me just enough cute development that I raced to the next full book; other times I saved a cluster of short stories for a reread binge. Either way, following the publication numbering (and inserting decimal novellas in their release spots) will give you the clearest emotional timeline, and I enjoyed how each little interlude deepened relationships. It’s cozy, it’s dramatic, and it scratches that wilder, romantic itch for me every time.

Alright, short and practical take from someone who binges romance series: read 'The Alpha's Gifted Luna' in the order the author released the books. That means Book 1, then Book 2, Book 3, etc., and slot any novellas or short stories labeled with decimals (like 1.5 or 2.5) right after the book they follow. If you spot a 'Book 0' or a prologue collection, you can read it before Book 1 for extra worldbuilding, but it’s optional.

Most ebook pages (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo) and Goodreads show series order and will list decimals and novellas, so use those as your checklist. If you prefer uninterrupted plots, read all main numbered books first and save novellas for afterward. Personally, I love reading novellas as they come out because they keep excitement alive between main releases—definitely made me more attached to the characters.
