(Rain Press, Sept. 25, 2017)
Mother, wife, federal agent...mortal.Samantha Moon hadn't always been a vampire. Once, she had been a wife and mother, happily married to her soul mate and raising two adorable kids. Once, she had been a federal agent investigating a world teeming with sophisticated scams, drugs, human trafficking and violence. She had hippie parents and a caring sister. She had a small home with an irritatingly detached garage. She had friends, colleagues and normalcy.That is, until she caught the eye of something evil...But first, she has a job to do. When her HUD team of federal agents is sent in as backup on a drug raid, she spots a mysterious business card on the fridge. Later, she finds the same card during a routine inspection. Convinced the narcotics traffickers are more widespread than initially thought and are taking advantage of those in need, Sam can't let it go―even after the gang tries to send her a message written in lead.Yes, her days at the Department of Housing and Urban Development are typically boring, her worst fear, a paper cut, but little does she know that she has attracted the attention of something dark and hungry. Something that's about to steal her mortal life...and change her forever.★★★★★"Being a fan of JR Rain, Matthew Cox, and the Samantha Moon(Vampire for Hire) series, I couldn’t wait to find out how these two fantastic authors would collaborate on one of my favorite series and tell the story of Samantha’s life before she had been turned into a vampire. I must say they did such a phenomenal job on it. It was so hard reading about Sam’s life prior to being bitten on that fateful night when she was out jogging but it explained so much of how her life had been and how it slowly changed. If you are a fan of the Vampire for Hire series then this is a must-read for you to see into the happy life of Samantha and her family and maybe just cry a few tears as I did for what had been for her. Thank you, JR Rain and Matthew Cox, for coming together and writing such an emotional and enlightening story. I eagerly look forward to the next chapters in Samantha’s life prior to her becoming immortal." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★"I am a big fan of the Samantha Moon books and JR Rain and Matthew Cox. I love getting this look at Sams's life when the kids are little and her job and work partner and life "before". Knowing what happens later in the series, I HATED Danny because he was a jerk. With this book, I saw there was a time when Danny was a good guy who loved Sam and his family. This is a great book written by two of my favorite authors. I loved it!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★"Love, love, love this new series. I normally do NOT like prequels. So I was unsure about this "before" series. But I took a chance since anything by J.R Rain is bound to be good. And I am so happy that I did. It held my interest from beginning to end, with a good storyline in addition to the vampire part. There was lots of humor and a good look at the early side of Danny and their relationship. I am looking forward to more in this series." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★"I have read all of the Samantha Moon books and have enjoyed each and every one. I really enjoyed this one as well. Prequels aren't always great but this one is. It was adorable seeing Tammy and Anthony as little toddlers. It was nice seeing Danny as the man Sam once adored and knowing he wasn't always a terrible person. Her job a HUD was even interesting. The humor was spot on. I loved all the not so subtle jokes. I'll keep reading Samantha Moon as long as he keeps writing about her!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★"'I love the Samantha Moon series and this gave me a look at her "normal" life before becoming a vampire. Although her previous life is mentioned in the series, this fills in the spaces and gaps of what happened. Every fan of Samantha Moon will enjoy this book!" ―Amazon reviewer
