I loved this book. This is a spinoff from the Twin Moon Ranch series. These new characters as just as great and loveable. I can't wait to read more in this series. Like all of Mrs. Lowes book this book is well written with a great flow. The story line never jumps around and the characters are all well developed. I'm so excited for this new series. I really enjoyed reading all of the Bonus Material also. I was gifted this book and gave an honest review.

Blue Moon Saloon
Book 0.5 prequel
This is a very short story of how Jess and Simon meet. It’s a great sweet sexy way to introduce the characters. Looking forward to the rest of the series especially as I’ve got them in audiobook and I absolutely love Kelsey Osborne

Book 1 of Blue Moon Saloon by Anna Lowe
Where to start? I absolutely loved this book but to get the full story or beginning YOU MUST READ PREQUEL PERFECTION SHORT STORY BEFORE DAMNATION. This is a short story about how Simon first meets Jessica but it just beautifully starts everything off but when you start book 1 damnation you are thinking of a great romance that started so well but this first book throws you so much.
Simon is a bear shifter but after been away from his clan with his brother for some time he returns to find them all dead. He and his brother end up as cook and bartender at the wild owned Blue Moon Saloon.
Jessica and Janna are wolf shifter that turn up in town and running for 6 months after a rogue kills their whole pack.
Such great twists in this series and I’ve only ready two books and one was a short story.
The audiobook is fantastic Kelsey Osborne is a favourite of mine and narrates so beautifully. If you love shifter series that look no further then Anna Lowe

Damnation the Bonus Edition comes with the entire prequel, Perfection, the full story of Damnation (Book 1 of the Blue Moon Saloon series), and a steamy bonus epilogue, The Mating Bite, that is only available in this exclusive edition plus a few more additional exclusive content.

This Bonus Edition is well worth purchasing. All the extra content is nicely done and who doesn't love extra content. If I already didn't own Perfection & Damnation, the single titles, I would buy this one instead.

Reviews below on Perfection, Damnation, and The Mating Bite.

Perfection is the prequel to the Blue Moon Saloon series.

Does it have to be read first. No. It’s a very short story that features our main characters from Damnation, Simon and Jessica, it's their first meeting.

This is an instal-thing, destiny. They know they are mates the moment they meet, but their are several obstacles for them to over come; before they can be together. Here they spend two days together, snowed in, getting all hot and heavy with each other. Their is a little foreshadowing, that even though they have found each other their future will be a ruff one, before they get their happy-ever-after.

The story was just ok for me. It was nice to see their first meet, but really not necessary to know before going into Damnation or the the Blue Moon Saloon series. For fans of Ms. Lowe and her shifters, it’s a nice treat.

Rated: 3 Stars


What happens when old hurts still linger and old threats come calling?

Damnation is book one in the Blue Moon Saloon series by Anna Lowe. What a wonderful new series that brings us strong heroines, alpha heroes, shifters of all kinds, hot cowboys, action, and much more.

The Blue Moon Saloon series takes place in the same world as The Twin Moon Ranch series. What is important to note is that both series can be read separately even though they are in the same world coexisting side-by-side. The author does a fabulous job bring her world to life and working in the characters from the other series, but what's impressive is that she made them feel brand new or if you are a fan, ones you have come to love.  

I devoured this book in one sitting. I had a great time with this second chance romance. I will never be board or get enough of Ms. Lowe's characters and world. She is an outstanding writing that can bring her characters to life, pulling the reader in deeply, making you feel for them.

Jessica and Simon have a past that caused them both to be hurt in more ways then one. These two had a few things to work out and also an old enemy that doesn't want to see them together come around. These two go through so many emotions; before they finally clear the air and work everything out. When they finally hook-up again, well the sexy times are sensual, steamy, and romantic. As for our enemy it was rather quick, but you know they will be back.

Their is a prequel, Perfection, for Simon and Jessica. It's their beginning, before everything went wrong. No, I have not read it. Should you read it before you read Damnation? Well some reviewers say yes, I on the other hand can't say until I read it, but I felt the story stood on it's own.

Damnation was a sweet second chance romance that will take you on a whirlwind of emotions, action, suspense, and love that never faded. I highly recommend this new series as well as her Twin Moon Ranch. I can't wait for the next installment in this series. 

Rated: 4 Stars


The special edition short story only featured in this Bonus Edition, The Mating Bite.

This was a very short and sweet story. We get to see Simon and Jessica finally seal their bound with the mating bite. It's sweet and oh so steamy sexy. Fan's will love this exclusive story.

I for one enjoyed The Mating Bite. The Blue Moon Saloon series has fast become one of my favorite shifter series to read. Ms. Lowe is a master at weaving emotional tales that pull you into the world and characters.

Rated: 3.5 Stars

Adult Paranormal Suspense Romance
I truly enjoyed it.
I think this is one of her best. I felt more connected to the characters then some of her others.
It was a fun and interesting read. The world build is very well done.
The only problem I have with this one and some of her others is, she tends to rush through the bad guys and the problems they cause. A little more tension and angst would be a good thing.
With a little tweaking on her stories she would probably be a consistent 5 star writer.
