Crescent Moon Mystery #1
Dead Ahead
Vampire for Hire Samantha Moon’s newest client owns a donut shop, but this case is anything but sweet!
Sam’s newest private investigation case involves surveillance of a female narcotics detective who works the graveyard shift. She’s a hard woman to track down, and when Sam finally catches up to her, she discovers the police detective’s shocking secret!
Sam’s treading in dangerous territory, so she hires her werewolf lawyer boyfriend, Kingsley, to assist her on this case.
Meanwhile, Sam’s kids, Tammy and Anthony, team up to find a missing girl before it’s too late—they even drag Fang into it! Tammy struggles with her increasing mind-reading powers. And Anthony—with his supernatural strength and flaming arms—is all that stands between Tammy and eternity.
As Sam’s P.I. case intersects with Tammy and Anthony’s rescue mission, an outbreak of teen vampires propels this Moon family mystery adventure toward its stunning conclusion!
Published by Rain Press, DEAD AHEAD is the first Crescent Moon Mystery novel in an authorized series within J. R. Rain’s Vampire for Hire World.
Bestselling author Eve Paludan lives in Arizona, where she enjoys researching the paranormal world, as well as reading and writing urban fantasy, mystery and romance.

Hard to even finish
So many story lines going on, and none of them were particularly interesting. I was annoyed by the characters and just wanted the book to end.

Better than the original..?!
After doing a binge read of Eve's Sam Moon books, I think I may like them more than the original JR books. Eve has a couple of deep "feels" scenes in this book that I think ring truer whether it invokes teenage angst or adult marriage conflicts. Or, it could just be that I like more Sam Moon books being available!

Interesting take on the Moon family dynamics.
The book felt like it was written by J.R. Rain. So the story and characters were seamless. There was a bit too much of the soul searching dialogue, but otherwise full of action and entertaining. I will read the next in the series.
