Seven years ago, a stranger changed Samantha Moon's life forever. A federal agent, Samantha was bitten by the stranger. She was a wife and mother with a happy family life. Now, a vampire, she works as a private investigator. Since Sam is now a vampire, she must do her investigating at night. Her explanation is she now has a rare skin disease, which forces her to stay out of the sunlight. She has two children to raise, which help keep her living somewhat normal.Samantha is seeing some strange changes happening in her son. These changes appear to be a direct result of Samantha's helping cure the illness he suffered, however, they should not be happening to a human being. At the same time, she must attempt to find a killer who drains all the blood from the victims. The killer does not appear to be a vampire, though.Sam is trying really hard to present a normal life to the world. However, as time marches on, this is becoming more and more difficult. As she discovers what being a vampire can mean, she also appears to lose more of her humanity. She now has another ancient relic, which could mean important changes for her.I think the author did a great job on this book. You do not have to read the first books of the series to understand this one. However, once you read this one, you may want to go read those first books. The excitement and enjoyment is back with this book. I thought it was well worth the money for this book. The disappointment I felt with the short story in Christmas Moon (Vampire for Hire #4.5) is gone with this book.
