Throwback Thursday is my weekly feature which I created to post a review that I've written from the past. Every week I will post a review that I've written prior to my blogs existence. I'll be sharing both the books that I think you'd enjoy and the books that I should warn you against wasting your time on! ;-)

As you can see most of my older reviews are pretty short and sweet! Ha, the good ole days!

Synopsis: Mother, wife, private investigator...vampire. Six years ago federal agent Samantha Moon was the perfect wife and mother, your typical soccer mom with the minivan and suburban home. Then the unthinkable happens, an attack that changes her life forever. And forever is a very long time for a vampire.

Now the world at large thinks Samantha has developed a rare skin disease, a disease which forces her to quit her day job and stay out of the light of the sun. Now working the night shift as a private investigator, Samantha is hired by Kingsley Fulcrum to investigate the murder attempt on his life, a horrific scene captured on TV and seen around the country. But as the case unfolds, Samantha discovers Kingsley isn't exactly what he appears to be; after all, there is a reason why he survived five shots to the head.


This book was very light reading and kind of cheesy at times, but still good. Sam, a 6 year turned vampire who’s a private eye that solve mysteries is a very interesting woman. It's very unusual to read a story where a vampire has a human family and interacts openly with the public at large. She has 2 kids, a husband and a sister that she frequently hangs with. For the most part she maintained her human life except the fact that she’s stronger than anything living, the sun is like kryptonite and she drinks blood. 

Past all of her basic vampire woes, she manages to figure out who the killer is, learn some new things about her abilities and manage to fall in love. Even more unusual is that a vampire would fall for a werewolf... All of these oddities in the story does keep it interesting.

Happy Reading, 
~Tamara
