Publisher's summary

Moon Child - the fourth book in the Vampire for Hire Series.

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 Moon Child, sequel to American Vampire, private investigator Samantha Moon is faced with an impossible decision - a decision that no mother should ever have to make. A decision that will change her life, and those she loves, forever. And through it all, Sam finds herself in a lethal game of vampire vs. vampire as a powerful - and desperate - enemy will stop at nothing to claim what he most desires.

great story

this was the first series that I ever started on audible and it is stll one of the best. love every book . the performance by Dina pearlman as always great. keep the Samantha story's coming plz

Great book but missing one thing, Romance

Would you listen to Moon Child again? Why?

Yes, It might be missing romance but still a great series

What did you like best about this story?

No matter what Sam jumps right in and gets the job done.

Which character – as performed by Dina Pearlman – was your favorite?

Kingsley

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes after Kingsley saves Sam and then tells her he is sorry and how he feels about her.

Any additional comments?

I like this series but l would love it if he would put more romance in it between Sam and Kingsley. The books are to sort but if it had more romance it would be longer. This series has action, humer and drama it needs more romance and it would be a perfect series and the books would be longer.

Thank You

Conclusion of book 3 and no cliff-hanger either.

This was a reasonable conclusion to the story started in the previous book. Actually, it is the conclusion that should have been included in book 3 - which just ended suddenly without a resolution of the main story thread.

Anyway, the story is satisfactorily concluded here. And a lot of things are sort of resolved: Sam's relationship with her kids, her ex-husband, Kingsley, Fang... well, maybe not Fang, he is still a bit of a dark horse, but the rest of the stuff going on in Sam's life was left in a good place. Actually, I'm still a bit concerned about Fang, and what he's up to... he is just too suspicious for my liking... but that's another story, right.

There, fortunately, isn't a cliff-hanger here. There is some openness as to what might occur in the future with Sam and other vampire(s) that might make you want to keep reading the series, but the story in this book is wrapped up. So, while you might want to get the next book to continue following Sam, you're not obliged to do so. I will be picking it up before too long.

Excellent narration for a very good book

Dina Pearlman has a rich, smooth voice and her innotation allows me to feel all the characters emotions. Excellent.

Good story, great narrator, bit too much repetition.

I loved hearing the struggle of the main characters’ decision, but feel there was too much repetition making the struggle annoying at times.
I really like this series, but feel it’s a bit pricey for how short these stories are. With that said, I do love the uniqueness of the story, well done as it’s not just another vampire tale.

Great audio read

I have enjoyed this audio edition of MoonChild. Dina Pearlman did a remarkable job reading this book

I enjoyed this book very much

and will tell people to give this book a chances you just might like it as mush as I do

Excellent vampire series with a new slant.

This series explores more of Samantha's developing powers and explores her relationships with two men that are falling for her. We also find out if Samantha can find a way to cure her terminally ill son without condemning him to a life as a vampire at the age of 7. I appreciate the fact that Samantha and her ex can be civil and without ranker during this trying time of dealing with their son's illness. Hopefully, future books will allow them to both be more mature in how they deal with sharing the children during their divorce. (I hate seeing divorcing parents making children feel less loving toward one or the other parent and create animosity.) This book neatly wraps up the medallion question, and what Samantha will (or won't) have to give up to get what she needs to make things right for her son. Samantha is able to be more open about what she is to Detective Sherbet, and she finds another vampire that she can learn from. There is still a lot of room left for further exploration and I hope we see more from this writer. The books are shorter so, even though main points are covered, there is still a lot of continuing development left for us to consider. The narrator, Dina Pearlman, is the icing on the cake.

TOO SHORT!!!!

The biggest complaint I have about the books in this series is that they are too short. Other than that this is a good series. In this book Samantha is faced with making a life altering decision for her child. It is an emotional book and reminds the audience again why she and her husband are divorced. As always there were moments when it was obvious that a man was writing the story from a woman's point of view. Even though the book is over too soon, I enjoyed it and will buy the next one.
