Then the unthinkable happens, an attack that changes her life forever. And forever is a very long time for a vampire.

Now in American Vampire, the sequel to Vampire Moon, private investigator Samantha Moon receives a heartbreaking phone call from a very unlikely source: a five-year-old girl who's been missing for three months. Now on the hunt, Samantha will use her considerable resources, including her growing supernatural abilities, to locate the missing girl before it's too late. And as she gets closer and closer to the horrible truth, she receives devastating news on the home front.

This is a very emotional book...wow. I love this series, I am so hooked. There is so much in here. PI jobs, family, friends, what it is like to be a vamp, to be a vamp mom, cravings, supernatural friends, finding new powers and how to use them, and so much more. It is so packed with each book. Written so well!
The narration is so good, voices from a tiny girl to gruff men done perfectly! Emotions perfectly too.

Great read!!!

This author is developing her storytelling skills with every new book. Editor, please, we don't need to hear that coffee and french fries make her sick every single time she encounters them. There are some repetitive moments which are just irritating. Danny's an asshole. And loves his kids? Is that why he is the owner of a strip club? Just put the ass wipe out of our misery! I think that is what a strong feminist character would do. Lol. Love, love, love, this series!

American vampire by j.r.rain

J.r. Rain has the vampire genre well in hand. I have never been disappointed by any of the Samantha moon stories. Keep up the good work, and I'll keep reading the books

excellent story but Audio irregularities

The story is interesting. The audio recording has numerous irregularities where it fades, sounds like the narrator is talking from a different room, or the equipment has been adjusted as the actor is speaking.

Entertaining series

I've been a solid audio book listener for years, and have tired of several "sci-fi/fantasy" series that degraded amusingly enough into "too much sex and not enough violence". During my search for a new author I came upon J.R. Rain's first novel and thoroughly enjoyed it. I quickly opted for the 2nd and 3rd and have not been disappointed. As much credit as I want to give the author for the story, I don't want to short change the performance, which any listener with any experience knows, can make or break an audio book. So kudos on both fronts.

Another good offering in the series, but not great

One story line - the detective aspect - was barely concluded; after the entire book chasing down clue, suspects & victims, that issue was wrapped up & discarded in less than 1 chapter. Then came the major cliffhanger, not totally unexpected but a bit lame almost like “and then she woke up.”
The romantic semi-interests are vacillating between worthy of regard and take a hike.
I still like the main character, so will continue until/unless it gets too disjointed or redundant. Still adore the narrator.

Good....But!!!!

What did you like best about American Vampire? What did you like least?

I really like this series, and up until this one was very happy with it. But as a Mom I kept saying to myself " go to your son....go to your son", maybe since the author is a male he doesn't realize that a Mom would never leave her child if he's that sick. It was just frustrating.

What was one of the most memorable moments of American Vampire?

When she meant Fang.

Have you listened to any of Dina Pearlman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, she's a great narrator, she also does the Anna Strong books, I absolutely love her. She got 5 Stars

Was American Vampire worth the listening time?

Yes, even though I had a lot of MOM FRUSTRATION, it was still a good book.

Any additional comments?

If you enjoy this series, still listen or read it.
