Moon Child: Vampire for Hire, Book 4

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.

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.

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.

But being a vampire made it really hard Her husband dumped her, and finally she go smart. and is learning how to be a Vampire all on her own with no help from her sire. But she's managed.Female married with children Federal Agent, gets turned into a Vampire. Messes with her work, her marriage, blah blah blah......But it really is an amazing series, has mystery, serious moments, and humor. I hope that this series continues to evolve. Every book just gets better and the narration is excellent Dina Perlman does great job

I love the formula for vamp stories where female vamps have two lovers vying for their attention. This story is pure escapist entertainment.

This book/series has the same witty repartee as the Sookie Stackhouse series. However I have not yet seen a character be a good mother and a vampire .

Yes

Yes

Yes, I enjoyed her humor and slightly different take on the typical vampire detective superwoman of the night world.

Just the other books in the series that she has read. Performance wasa enjoyable, easy to to get into.

Seemed a bit shorter than the other books, the ending felt rushed, making it feel a bit incomlete or rough.

I suppose it is the hallmark of a good writer when you finish one of their books and begin looking for more. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. The smart talking, wise-cracking, yet tortured Samantha Moon is a delight.

This particular book was probably the weakest of the 4, maybe because I knew it was the last and I wanted more. The story lines are fairly simple but Samantha's struggle to accept all things vampire keep the plot moving. I hope Mr. Rain will write more for this series. I have to compliment the narrator. She brings the story to life and you can see the self-assured, wise-cracking Sam blowing a bubble when she finds she can chew gum and getting it in her hair. Dina Pearlman does an outstanding job.


More please!

I never have time to read print so audio is always the choice.

I love her Samantha

So short you can do it but I use it for commuting and exercise

The series is getting better as Samantha delves more into the supernatural and her powers increase. A more feelgood read with no cliffhanger and the author is improving his style. Still, I feel this was just the continuance and conclusion to book 3.

I love Samantha Moon. She keeps you interested. I hope the series keeps going.

An enjoyable series of books about Samantha Moon, private detective. She's a divorced mother of two and a vampire. This book focuses on her and her son; The story unfolds the other books in this series and her world. It's fun, easy reading. The narrator is good.
