Samantha Moon: All Four Novels (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
Perusing the Amazon store for something good to read, I came across this four-book series featuring Samantha Moon, PI extraordinaire, and downloaded it to my Kindle Fire then quickly began reading. I wasn't sorry, albeit usually I do not seek out books about Vampires; however, the series' main focus isn't supernatural beings or happenings, but instead is a lively, easy-to-read series about the life of one "Moon Dance", as she is known by her online persona, as well as her family, work, trials and tribulations, with some of the joys of being human thrown in for good measure. Moon is a jewel even with her foibles. She is a faithful sister to Mary Lou and devoted mother of Tammy and Anthony. She is compelled to do her work as a Private Investigator with clarity, determination and often forcefulness, while providing her clients with results and sometimes desperately-needed closure. She is obviously a woman on a mission. She just happens to be a Vampire.For Samantha Moon, being a Vampire is not her life, but is a part of her life she has learned to deal with. She learns how to cope with limitations, as well as how to use extraordinary gifts for the betterment of family, friends, life and work.J. R. Rain fleshes out the characters of the books to make them come alive in the imagination. The story plays out in rapid succession of descriptive scenes, character thoughts/conversations and frustrations that most anyone could experience. The reader is reticent to put down the series once started, and each book of this series flows evenly from one to the next. Although many of the issues discussed in the books regarding the difficulties of family, work and life itself, Rain intersperses humor that is, at times, laugh-out-loud funny! Like life, serious circumstances can have humorous interjections. Rain manages to weave an intricate story in finely-tuned detail that is extremely fast-paced without a letup in the reader's interest. I look forward to reading much more in the life of Samantha Moon, PI. I liked these books. The story line was good and descriptions were very well described. As I was reading, something about Sam kept bothering me...a certain way she did something or a descision she made or some little thing that didn't seem right. I let it go that it was the newbie vampire that made her that way. When I finished reading the books, I read about the author. Then it hit me!!! This is exactly how a man would write about a woman! I think the author being a man, writing a main character as a woman just doesn't quite make sense about her. But, that being said, they were good books.
