Moon Bayou
(2015)Samantha Moon Case Files Book 1
(Book 13 in the Vampire for Hire series)
A novel by Rod Kierkegaard Jr and J R Rain
America's favorite Vampire for Hire is back! From USA TODAY bestselling author, J.R. Rain, comes a brand-new Samantha Moon between-the-cases series!
Samantha Moon loses everything - her kids, her beloved, the very unlife she knows - when a powerful curse catapults her backwards in time, to Louisiana during the days of Marie Laveau.
Though she pines for the familiar world of the present, Samantha must move fast; after all, the superhuman vampiric abilities she relied on in prior cases have been compromised by the curse, leaving her vulnerable to a new kind of lurking evil...
Now, her talents as a private investigator will be ever more critical. Can Samantha Moon unlock the key to the past and return to her present, or will she forever remain ancient history?
"'Laissez le bon temps rouler!' Let the good times roll! It is off tho New Orleans with Samantha Moon in this breakout hit, this first in a trilogy is a collaboration between our beloved J.R. Rain and Rod Kierkegaard Jr.. Rod was unknown to me until Moon Bayou but buddy after this i will read anything you write just like i do with J.R. Rain! This was the kind of story that made readers fall in love with Sam to begin with...it was a real page turner,full of the mystical and typical Moon attitude! Yes, Judge Judy is mentioned but so is another person you thought you would never hear about again!!!!! Better read it to find out who it is,I never expected it.Having a Cajun husband i was especially struck by the perfectly described Louisiana, from the humidity to the dialect and everything in between i felt like i was back in New Orleans on a hot summers day. Most of all though is the action and intrigue that make this a must read. Vampires,werewolves and voodoo oh my! Another reviewer stated that "the author left me hanging" and that is true,but even though i am chomping at the bit to know what happens next i feel that that is a sign of a great writer...they leave you wanting more. J.R. Rain is just that, a great writer and now i know that Rod Kierkegaard Jr. is too, and Moon Bayou is a GREAT book! You will NOT be able to put it down. I can not wait to read the rest of the trilogy so get busy writing gentlemen!!" - Amazon reviewer
"I can not wait to read all the rest of this series!! As if poor Sam has not been through enough, how bout we throw her back in time! Amazing new characters!! And you do not even need to read the other Samantha Moon books to read this one, although I do not see why you would not want to!!" - Amazon reviewer
"J R Rain is a superb author. I love the Samantha Moon books, and was excited to see a new series centered around her! This book was great from start to finish!" - Amazon reviewer
"Samantha Moon leaves her Orange County home in California for New Orleans. Seems it should be easy she will go into New Orleans and search for her clients missing daughter and find her or find out what has happened to her. . What she hadn't expected was a group of Vampires with a 150-year-old contract on her life. This is J. R. Rain and his character Samantha Moon at there best. This story is taking Samantha on an adventure of a lifetime and considering she's a vamp with a long lifeline it gets really deep. When Samantha comes upon a voodoo ceremony attempting to rescue her client's friend she is hurled backwards in time and when she wakes up she begins to see the world a whole different way in a whole different time period. A well-written story line that shows that voodoo magic might just be a match for Sam's remarkable talents. Join this fast ride full of adventure and get your copy now. This is one of the most spell binding stories yet in the Samantha Moon stories." - Amazon reviewer
"My favorite book by J.R. Rain yet! Fast read! caught my interest right away and kept it until the end... can not wait to read book two!" - Amazon reviewer
