Samantha Moon Adventures is a companion series to J.R. Rain’s Vampire for Hire, offering nine additional stories about vampire PI Samantha Moon. The books expand Samantha’s supernatural encounters beyond the main series, running from Banshee Moon (2019) to Vampire Widow and Other Stories (2020).
Each book pits Samantha against a different supernatural threat. Banshee Moon, Moon Monster, and Moon Ripper kicked off the series in 2019. The following year brought six more entries, with titles like Witch Moon, Moon Goddess, and Golem Moon indicating the variety of creatures Samantha faces. Vampire Widow and Other Stories collects shorter pieces to round out the set.
Rain wrote all nine books within about a year, which is typical of his rapid output schedule. Readers who have finished the main Vampire for Hire novels will find more of the same mix of paranormal action and Samantha’s dry humor here. The Adventures series works best for those already familiar with Samantha’s backstory and abilities.
