The complete Samantha Moon Origins trilogy of vampire mysteries, including:
NEW MOON RISING (Book #1)
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.
She had also 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 had 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 blood.
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.
MOON MOURNING (Book #2)
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. Well, not in the traditional sense.
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, seeing in the dark, and an inability to eat food that isn't blood.
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's as strong as five men.
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 the strongest 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.
In the end, Samantha faces a more insidious and dangerous enemy than an apocalyptic militia group with military hardware: Daytime.
HAUNTED MOON (Book #3)
Whoever heard of a vampire with a day job?
It's been a few months since Samantha Moon's not-quite-storybook life took a sudden and tragic turn, sending her kicking and screaming into undeath.
Despite clear evidence of a deeper, supernatural reality, she tries to cling as much as possible to the routine she knows even as her marriage and career disintegrate before her eyes.
When her procedural suspension from HUD ends surprisingly without termination, she accepts reinstatement against her better judgment.
Unfortunately, it soon becomes abundantly clear that she’s become highly incompatible with early mornings.
What's a vampire to do when she has bills to pay and kids to feed? Go into business for herself.
Sam makes a go of private investigation, but clients are scarce; that is, until she finds a case no other PI dares to touch: A woman who believes something paranormal is responsible for her son’s disappearance.
And it looks like she might be right.
Luckily, new vampire and private eye, Samantha Moon, is on the case.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Annie has always had high hopes for her future. But the reality of her life just isn’t measuring up. She loves her fiancé, Greg–doesn’t she? She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

Great Prequel Trilogy
Virtual Narration will never be as good as read by a human, especially an experienced voice actor. But the series was great. Very engaging and relatable and lots of exciting action as well as slice of life. The inner dialogue was really well done.

Really good depiction of a mother’s struggles on being turned
Awesome story outlining how a mother tries to cope with being turned into a vampire. As for the narration although good it was a unemotional and messed up whenever reading either bullet’s caliber (ie .38 read as point three eight instead of thirty eight) or when reading capped initials (ie. PI read as pie instead of pee eye)

AI Narration is bad.
the story line is okay, but the AI narration makes it bad. the awkward pauses, no change in character voices and no emotion in the voices.

Horrible A I narration
I liked the book. I had already read a later Samantha moon storythat wasn’t AI generated and I shouldnt have read this one.The entire story was ruined by the odd inflection of the voice and the weird pronunciation of words.

Different than most vampire stories. Not smuty. Strong maternal vibes. love it.
I loved the story. I want more. Dislike the ai reading it. Give me a human please. I don't like that ai can't pick up on how people say certain things like .22 is not point twenty-two. 911 not nine hundred eleven.

Nothing like a Vampire Mamma to Find a Missijg Child
Other then the AI reading OR like or and PI like pie and a few other abbreviations, it was read well. Well, also, the voice didn't grow masculine for male voices like a human reader would do. This book was actually better to me than the 1st. I'll gladly continue listening.

Virtual voice needs emotion added.
A little emotion when reading added to the virtual voice would be great. Stories are way to boring and almost dumped book.

Finally finished
I reviewed this 3 part story before listening to part 3, and it mostly got worse.
The story wasn't bad, it's the false starts that go nowhere and the AI reading that's most annoying. Having P.I. as in private investigator pronounced as if it was a desert or algebra equation and M.O. as in motive of operation pronounced as "moe" is just gut wrenching.
There's no way I will listen to another audio books read by AI.
