Resumen del Editor

Mother, wife, private investigator... vampire. Six years ago, federal agent Samantha Moon was the perfect wife and mother, your typical soccer mom with the minivan and suburban home. Then the unthinkable happens, an attack that changes her life forever. And forever is a very long time for a vampire.

Now, in Vampire Moon, sequel to Moon Dance, private investigator Samantha Moon finds herself hunting down a powerful crime lord and protecting an innocent woman from her ruthless ex-husband—all while two very different men vie for her heart. And as the stakes grow higher and her cases turn personal, Samantha Moon will do whatever it takes to protect the innocent and bring two cold-blooded killers to justice—her own brand of justice.

Can't wait to get to #3

Samantha Moon...what a vamp... this one was... better than the first ...made me crave the next. Dina Pearlman does a wonderful job.

good book about real-life mom turned vampire

I never knew HUD had special agents with training similar to FBI special agents. Anyway, after being turned, this mom leaves HUD and goes into private practice as an investigator working at night. This is one of the few vampire series where the vampire can turn into a bat - in this case a human-sized bat who not only flies in the sky but also flies in the ocean. Decent series.

Pretty Good

I received the first J R Rain book for free. I chose to listen to this one and I'm glad I did. My biggest complaint about the first book is that Sam had no backbone. In this installment, she is becoming a stronger woman and a stronger vampire. I won't give any spoilers, but I say that I don't expect her to follow the same moral code as a human. She is a vampire and in this book she begins to act like one. However, I can still tell that this was written by a man. Women are a lot more subtle. It's a good book, and, I plan to read the next book in this series as well.

One Bad Ass she-vamp

I really liked this series. Well thought out delivering justice. Yeah and the ending, now I just have to get the next book.

Book 2

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book. A lot of action including questionable morales. Great character development, storyline & plot. The mysterious Fang...I have a suspicion as to who it is.

Moon Revealed

In this second installment in the Samantha Moon Vampire for Hire series we see more of the PI and woman to add to the dimensions we've experienced of the mother and vampire.

At this point her code of honor is more visible and we are privy to her internal motivations which aren't always benign. She is growing into a full character and her conscience is evident.

This story has her fighting crime concurrent to solving a mystery. It's now evident that she knows more about her kind and other immortals. She shares candidly without the fear of judgement as she considers the outcomes worthy of the questionable actions that precede them.

Dina Pearlman gives a good vocal performance and achieves identifiable diversity with new characters while cementing those from the first Moon tale.

The story, acting and total package are worthy of four stars and a future purchase of the next installment.

new fan

cliff hangerrrr omg i cant believe it cant wait for the next one love it !!!!

Great story!

I pretty much did nothing but read n listen whenever i could the past 2 days.. great storyline.

Good character development in a short novel

I liked it as much as the first book in the series... or, wait... perhaps a bit more. I think there was a bit less of Sam 'musing on the state of vampirism' in this story, but her character was developed without being a repeat of book one.

The thread of story dealing with Sam's ex-husband was well done - very frustrating and before the end of the book, you'll want to smack Danny too. Is the whole thing believable? Sure, for the most part. Sam wants to maintain a normal life even though she is not normal any more, and she does a good job of balancing being a vampire, having to work for a living, and trying to stay in contact with her children.

The story is short. It's not sold as a short story, but it probably could be (or, - dare I? - should be) packaged with book 1 and book 3 and sold as one, nearly complete, story. There was a bigger 'cliffhanger' in this book than in book one, but it wasn't as obnoxious a cliffhanger as some other books I've read (i.e. you probably will not feel ripped off at the end, even though you might want to read the next to find out who Fang turns out to be).

The narration is good, as good, or better than the first novel as the narrator seems to have settled into Sam's character now.

Vampire Moon

J.R. Rain did a great job with book #2. The main character finally gets her awful husband what he deserves. Keep up with the good work.
