Six 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.In Moon Child, Samantha is forced to make a decision no one, parent or otherwise, should ever be forced to make. She is also in the middle of a fight with another, much older, vampire. I like the way this book is presented. It does offer a different view of Samantha Moon, a vampire by unfortunate circumstances. And, even though Samantha was turned into a vampire six years ago, she is just learning much of what she is now capable of.I like the way the author presents the background information as the book is read. There is no need to back up and try to re-read portions of the previous books in the series to catch up on terms and background to the story. Not to say the books are not great the second time, but the memory assistance really helps.This is a great story, with an ending that is unexpected. If you read the first three books in the series, this is a must read! Relax, enjoy it, and allow the story to surprise you as it did me.
