Then the unthinkable happens, an attack that changes her life forever. And forever is a very long time for a vampire.

Coping with being attacked and left for dead isn't easy, but Samantha Moon is grateful that she survived ― until she suspects she didn't. Vanishing from mirrors is only the first of a series of bizarre events that defies explanation, even to her trained investigative mind. A severe allergy to the sun, alertness at night, inability to eat food that isn't blood, and worst of all: she can't remember the last time she needed the bathroom. Of course, it's not all bad. Years have fallen off her face, her hair is perfect, her senses are honed, and (assuming she hasn't gone crazy) she can even see in the dark. It's all too much to process, so she does the only thing that makes any sense: tries to go back to work. A huge hat, shades, and half a bottle of high-test sunscreen later, she's back out inspecting properties with her partner Chad. Her first day, she suspects a HUD recipient of having undeclared income. Determined to cling to the career she worked so hard for, Sam traces the money back to small-time arms dealers selling big-time weapons. Everything seems to be routine until her sluggish reflexes get someone shot ― and her husband suffers an emotional breakdown. Worse, she faces a more insidious and dangerous enemy than an apocalyptic militia group with military hardware... Daytime.

America's favorite vampire detective is back! Book 17 in the bestselling “Vampire for Hire” series! Samantha Moon once considered being turned into a vampire as the single greatest upheaval of her life—but she'd been wrong. Still reeling from the aftereffects of her hunt across the higher dimensions, she hopes for a little calm before the storm to sort out exactly what she's become, and what meaning the events of the sixth dimension have for the world at large. The dark masters had been dangerous enough when contained, but now... A zombie in a television show her kids love speaks to her straight out of the screen. Sam initially dismisses it as a trick of the mind, but when she runs into the same woman a few days later, it's quite obvious that the dark masters aren't sitting on their laurels. Or are they... Her new friend turns out to be a supernatural the world has never seen before, not for real—a zombie, or at least something similar. The young woman isn't rotting or mindless, but no self-respecting dark master would want such a shell. Fearing this poor woman is the spearhead of the apocalypse, Sam rushes to find the source of the infection before humanity is doomed.

In the next highly anticipated installment of J.R. Rain’s bestselling supernatural mystery series, Samantha Moon finds herself stranded on a distant planet of dragons . . . and confronted with a powerful demon hellbent on destroying worlds. Samantha Moon spent the past thirteen years fighting the evil trying to consume her, but at least she knew where it lurked. With the dark masters unleashed, her life has become one of constant vigilance and sleepless nights. One upside, though: she's on speaking terms with the sun again. Allison's vision of a ticking supernatural time bomb wiping out civilization sends them racing out to the Arizona desert. After hastily gathering reinforcements, they confront the harbinger of the end times before it can strike. When the dust settles, Sam finds herself in a desolate alien wasteland, her dragon friend mortally wounded beside her and no obvious way back to her world. Her body can withstand the upper-dimensional energies for only a few hours. She needs to find a way home as well as figure out how to stop Talos from dying. She doesn't have time to do both. She might not be able to do either.

Samantha Moon isn’t prepared to handle the scariest moment of her life—her daughter’s turning eighteen. Facing the truth her children are powerful in their own right is the door to a scary new reality, worse than her dread of what Elizabeth is planning. The dark masters are still out there, but it almost feels trivial compared to having an empty house… at least until the phone rings... When a woman calls asking for help finding her missing mother, Samantha quickly realizes supernatural forces are involved. Worse, it appears to be Elizabeth’s doing. Sam has no idea why an obscure B-movie director would be important, but she does know one thing for certain... The moment she’s been dreading for fourteen years is finally here... Elizabeth is back.

Book #20 in the bestselling "Vampire for Hire" series! Dealing with one's greatest nemesis can be frustrating, but Samantha Moon is literally beside herself.

With the plan now set in motion, only two things are known for sure: the plan is big, and it's going to be horrible. After tracking the dark masters down to the remote jungles of Venezuela, Sam and her crew rush there to prevent the apocalypse they're certain is brewing. Alas, problems abound. Not only are they facing a new type of vampire they've never seen before, Elizabeth gets the upper hand in a major way. Sam is thrust into a maze of alternate realities where she is forced to face an enemy far more dangerous than an ancient sorceress: herself. If she can't escape fast enough, Elizabeth will enslave an entire dimension.

Dark Masters vs. Light Warriors Sam vs. Elizabeth The final battle begins! Samantha Moon would go to the ends of the Earth to stop Elizabeth—or into another world entirely. Fourteen years ago, her life forever changed, entwined with the darkest of dark vampires. From that night forward, Elizabeth has been part of her, ever a step ahead. However, the dark one grows impatient. Taking over modern Earth presents certain annoyances for a vampire army, like mortals with access to nuclear weapons. However, an alternate world much like ours from 2,000 years ago would be defenseless against her. Temptation proves too great; Elizabeth abandons Earth, bent on repeating the war of domination that sent her to the void a thousand years ago. Earth may be safe—for now—but Sam cannot stand by and let her enslave an entire dimension. With her daughter, son, and Max at her side, she seizes a rare opportunity to catch Elizabeth off guard. Now all she has to do is survive...

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 Samantha Moon is hired on by a film crew to help hunt for the most elusive creature of them all, she’s pretty sure they have the wrong person. Turns out this is a super well-funded expedition, and the eccentric backer is sparing no expense, including hiring, among dozens of other specialists, a private investigator—someone trained to find the missing. And there is nothing more missing than Bigfoot. The logic almost makes sense to Sam. But the money is right and the vampire private eye finds herself intrigued. After all, even among her fellow supernaturals, the creature known as Sasquatch is thought to be myth only. When the team arrives at the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, Sam is drawn to the bear guard, a tough as nails man named Wally Seymour hired to keep the expedition safe; after all, Wally seems particularly adept in the forest... But it’s when Sam heads out into the woods on her own reconnaissance mission that things get interesting. Turns out, the vampire detective is particularly adept at finding elusive creatures who don’t want to be found. And when Samantha sees a disturbing image in the team leader’s mind—an image of death and mayhem—she understands there’s more at play here than a simple expedition to find the world’s most popular cryptid. The hunt is on—but who is hunting whom?
