This guy is a screenwriter, so the prose is written in a visual way. Very witty and clever. I particularly like the twist on the vampire genre: a mom with two kids and a minivan becomes a vamp against her will and now has to deal with the aftermath. Really enjoyed this one, and I'm looking forward to the series.
This book was very light reading and kind of cheesy at times, but still good. Sam, a 6 year turned vampire who’s a private eye that solve mysteries is a very interesting woman. It's very unusual to read a story where a vampire has a human family and interacts openly with the public at large. She has 2 kids, a husband and a sister that she frequently hangs with. For the most part she maintained her human life except the fact that she’s stronger than anything living, the sun is like kryptonite and she drinks blood. Past all of her basic vampire woes, she manages to figure out who the killer is, learn some new things about her abilities and manage to fall in love. Even more unusual is that a vampire would fall for a werewolf... All of these oddities in the story does keep it interesting.
It's been six years since Samantha Moon's life changed forever. Going from federal agent to private investigator was the only option after bing attacked by a vampire. She's good at what she does but now she has to take a little more care to avoid the sun, wear big hats and keep her eye out for those who want to end her existence. While it's not perfect her husband has started to push himself away from her after learning the truth she still has an important role in her children's lives.
When offered a case to solve the attempted murder of a lawyer she takes the chance getting more than she bargained for as she learns he's not the man she thought he was. Being a vampire does have it's own advantages when it comes to being a private detective. Samantha juggles being a mom and detective she finds herself in the crosshairs of a killer but he's not the only one she has to worry about.
I've had this one on my kindle for years but never seemed to get around to it. I picked up the audio one day and decided to give it a shot. I like the idea of a vampire who happens to try to live as normal life as she can even if she does have pale skin, and avoid the sun. While she didn't choose to become a vampire she's not letting it control her life which I found refreshing. I found the concept interesting and the characters are easy to connect with you can't help liking Samantha as she has just the right amount of snark. Moon Dance is a fast paced action packed mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed the authors writing style it was easy to be captivated by the story. This is my first audio book so I wasn't sure what to expect when it came to narration but I liked how the reader brought real life to the characters. I've already started the 2nd one and may just be an audio fan.

Really great story! I loved the main character--a vampire for six years who still takes care of her two kids the best she can. It was endearing. There's a great mystery and some interesting romance as well. I bought the whole series to read on my kindle--its looking good so far.
Nice introduction to this series, and what a story... poor Sam!

This book wasn't that bad.. I was looking through kindle Unlimited books that you can listen to and saw this and thought What the hell? I mean I didn't love it.. But I didn't hate listening to it.
Sam was attacked and turned into a vampire against her will. She did work for the FBI but now can't go out at night so she has her own PI business. She has two children and a husband. she doesn't want to loose that life. So when her husband starts cheating on her she lets it go... uh NO. This pissed me off and then when she started dreaming about someone else she freaked out on herself. Lady your hubby is sleeping with someone else and isn't even trying to hide it.. I'm pretty sure its cool if you dream about another guy.
Other than that little irritant that book was good. It was about an actual case and not a whole lot of drama.
I went on and started the next book.. and stopped at about 10%... One of my biggest pet peeves in a book series is when there are obvious inconsistencies. In this book Sam is 37 and at the very end of the book her husbands girlfriend dumps him.. In the start of the second book, his GF is taking the kids for ice cream and Sam is 34... Like those are some pretty big freaking things to just change on a whim. I don't know if ill get around to reading the rest of the series. Maybe when I'm not pissed anymore.

It took me a very long time to actually get into this book. I had to finish it though. I don't know if I want to read the next in the series or not.
