Moon Child
Vampire for Hire, Book 4
By: J. R. Rain
Narrated by: Dina Pearlman
The books just keep getting better! What would you do if you son was dying and you could change him to a vampire? Would you? At age 7, he would be a vampire? Plus, another child is kidnapped, they thought it was her son. A lot goes on in this book!
The narrator is the same as the other books and this keeps things consistent. She is an excellent narrator/actress and makes this series 'POP'!!! ( )

Quite an adventure. I get the sense that Samantha Moon will be playing a larger cosmic role in the future. I personal hell awaits the main character in this book along with confused feelings of three men. More than one secret is revealed. ( )

Okay, so I enjoyed this one too! It was another interesting mystery with lots of things going on at once. I don't want to give anything away, because there were just so many things going on in this one.
Again Sam is trying to be a good mother and balance her job as a private investigator and her job as a mother and I think she does a fairly good job. She has to try to figure out how to save her child and she only has four days in which to do it. Meanwhile, she has her relationship with Kinsley and Fang to figure out and I still don't know for sure where either one is heading lol. Hopefully the next book will give us a little bit more to go on regarding her relationships.
Sam grows stronger in her vampiric abilities in each and every book and this one is no different. I've also enjoyed seeing her grow as a person and her character feels real in every one.
The story was entertaining and enjoyable, but it felt a little short to me. It was still really good, but I wish there was a little more to it. Overall though it was a really good read. ( )

Private investigator, mother and vampire, Samantha Moon must make a very difficult decision. Her son is going to die within hours; apparently his life was supposed to be short and Anthony is accepting of it. Should she be selfish and turn him into a vampire to prevent his death? Would he be trapped in a seven year-old’s body forever? Can the medallion that she has and everyone else is looking for really reverse vampirism and make the person mortal again? If so, how? I she changes her son she figures she’ll only have 4 days to find the answer; that’s the length of time before she started craving blood after being turned.

The bulk of the story centers on finding a specific person who might have the answers that she needs about the medallion. We had a cliffhanger in both the 2nd and 3rd books, but this one has a sense of closure. Not for the series, but for the immediate story arc. And it appears that a new back story has begun.

I like Sam the situations and story line as well as the philosophy discussed between characters. But Sam has cried a lot, especially in these last two books. It’s for a good reason, but the fact that “she’s cried harder than ever before in her life,” many times now, feels overdone. I’d think you could really only convey that once for the reader to believe it. ( )

Samantha Moon is a soccer mom, ex-wife and private investigator all in one but she's also a vampire who's life just keeps getting weirder and weirder. She's tackled serial killers, child predators and creepy stalkers along with other much more unnatural things that go bump in the night. Now she has met her greatest challenge and it is an enemy that even she might not be able to fight. Faced with immortality and power she never asked for she's worked very hard to be a good person, a great P.I. and an even better mom but what happens when one of those closest to her suddenly becomes very ill and might possibly die? When her youngest child becomes sick and grows worse each day Samantha faces a moral dilemna. What would a mother do to save her son? She has the power running through her veins to combat any sickness but the price would be to turn her loved one into a blood drinking vampire. Will she stand by and let nature take it's course when her sole duty on this earth is to protect those she loves? And what would the cost of saving her son the only way she knows how be?

This by far is the best one yet. Samantha Moon and friends continue to evolve and change and every decision they make could have dire consequences. ( )
