From the author of the Vampire for Hire Series, J.R. Rain, comes a brand new Samantha Moon spin-off story co-written by bestselling author of The Dead Detective and The Department of Magic, Rod Kierkegaard Jr. 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 - 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?

America's favorite Vampire for Hire is back! The thrilling continuation of the Samantha Moon Case Files! Summer is a great time to visit scenic Richmond, Virginia—except during the start of the American Civil War. After her attempt to save a young woman goes disastrously wrong, Samantha Moon has wound up trapped in 1862 with no way home to her children. The great, great granddaughter of the Voodoo priestess who hurled her back in time refuses to undo the spell. Worse, the few friends she'd made in the past have seen her true nature. Despite saving their lives, Sam parts ways to spare their sanity. Alone, Sam follows a rumor to Richmond. Hoping this supposed mystic can help her return home, she rushes headlong into the onset of the Civil War. Trying to convince an alchemist who is morbidly afraid of vampires to help one would be daunting enough even without a war going on. In the chaos of battle, her best hope disappears. Heedless of what damage she may do to the nation’s timeline, Sam can’t turn her back on those in need. Alas, Elizabeth senses her increasing desperation, and plies the temptation of bloody wounded everywhere. Sam’s already lost in time, but if she’s not careful, she may lose her soul as well.

When a phantom memory strikes, Samantha Moon's world is turned upside down. The thrilling conclusion to the "Case Files" trilogy! Samantha Moon is about to discover that going back in time comes with some complications. Like having two memories of returning home from the Civil War. With no explanation for why a second memory appears, Sam is left contemplating the nature of time itself, parallel worlds, and a love that might have been. Along with her own sanity. After all, this second memory feels just as real as the first. Perhaps even more so. In fact, she's dead certain she investigated the murder of three men, uncovered a plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, and battled a pack of bloodthirsty werewolf spies. Samantha may not know why this alternate memory has appeared, but she does know one thing... It all begins on a train...
