About this listen
Samantha Moon loses everything - her kids, her beloved, the very unlife she knows - when a powerful curse catapults her backwards in time, to Louisiana during the days of Marie Laveau.
Though she pines for the familiar world of the present, Samantha must move fast - the superhuman vampiric abilities she relied on in prior cases have been compromised by the curse, leaving her vulnerable to a new kind of lurking evil.
Now, her talents as a private investigator will be ever more critical. Can Samantha Moon unlock the key to the past and return to her present, or will she forever remain ancient history?

Detective Madeline Wimsey tends to stand out with her wild red hair, pentacle amulets, and offbeat methods, but she has a tool few other cops use - magic. After a man turns up dead in a grisly satanic rite, her fellow detectives are quick to crack jokes. Since they can't tell a pentacle from a pentagram, Maddy's happy to get the case. She suspects the ritual to be the work of amateurs, a theory that pans out when they track down the pack of clueless high school students who made the shrine in the woods. But then Maddy learns that the Devil's Eye is watching her....

Medical-school-dropout police detective Richelle Dadd is...well, dead. But that won't stop her from trying to hold on to her house in a divorce battle with a bitter husband. Or keep her from digging into her own murder, to discover who put the bullet into her heart. Or from coming to terms with her Gypsy heritage. And it certainly won't stand in the way of finding out the reason she's been reanimated as a zombie assassin, no longer in control of her life.

When Tom is invited to the reading of a will of a great-uncle he’s never heard of, there’s no way to know what to expect. But on the long list of possible things to inherit, a travelling carnival ghost train is the very last on the list. To get his full $10 million inheritance, all Tom has to do is run the antique ride until his 18th birthday. Easy. Except for a strange caped-creep he’s never met, who’s trying to con him out of the money...and the actual ghosts and ghouls who call the ride home.

Sparrow “Ro” Meadowcroft is about to get the promotion she’s always dreamed of–curator of the museum where she works. She loves old things and the history that surrounds them, so when a patron leaves some items to the museum, Ro is eager to dig in. The sword in the stone that comes with those items is clearly a joke. A well-made but obvious replica meant to be a conversation starter. Why anyone would think that belonged in the museum is beyond her, but she can’t resist taking a crack at it and finding out if she’s the chosen one. And as it turns out...she is.

There's something out there in the dark. There's always something watching. There's always something reaching for you. Always. And sometimes there?s someone you can call. Someone you can hire. Someone who knows these dark streets and back alleys. Someone who knows how things work in this part of town. Private eyes who are often as dark as the things they hunt. Investigators who know how to look in the shadows for the things that go bump. Good guys but not always nice guys. Hardboiled Horror collects fifteen original tales of noir mystery shot through with elements of horror and the supernatural.

It's okay though, mostly. Samantha Moon has a case to keep her mind occupied while her daughter is off doing her thing. It’s not as if Tammy is completely helpless. Crazy thing about being part of a magical bloodline... it passes down to the next generation. With Elizabeth's influence over the family gone for good, the younger Moon is coming into her own as a force to be reckoned with. Sam probably can’t ...

Story
Samantha Moon figured her daughter's birthday would be nice and normal, not usher in a magical apocalypse. Amid the frequent chaos in her life, Sam has learned to take comfort in the boring moments. She's one of the few people who doesn't mind a long day in the office. So when Paxton's fourteenth birthday rolled around, she expected it would be cute, innocent and full of unicorn-themed stuff. An actual unicorn, though? Not so much. What's an immortal psychic vampire to do when a creature of fable decides to crash in their backyard? Sam has no idea. However, it soon becomes apparent that the...

A fast fun time
I REALLY enjoyed this! I'm from North Louisiana so I'm often wary of Southern tales. I'm not big on Vampires either. I DO LOVE time travel books. With an open mind I got to read this book. I'm glad I did. I will not eagerly devour the rest in this series.
The narrator took a while to get use to. Tone was nice but inflection & odd pauses were sometimes a strange.

Great story ; poor narration
I loved this storyline. Excellent. However, the narration was painful. It sounded computer vocalize with emphases on the wrong words and phrases. Very stilted..

Very poor narration
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I would have someone else do the narration. She was stiff and more than a few times I thought about reading the book instead of listening to the audio book.
The story was very interesting.
What did you like best about this story?
It was definitely an interesting vampire story.
What didn’t you like about Kathy Vogel’s performance?
She was stiff and halting. She would break at places that should have flowed.
Could you see Moon Bayou being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
I think it has the possibility of being a tv series. Can't think of anyone in particular for the stars.

Narrator ruined the story!
The story was interesting enough to keep me listening despite the horrible narration. I seriously checked to make sure a human was reading the story. I thought maybe my phone had changed to Text-to-Speech, as I was listening in between reading on my Kindle. The narrator spoke in bursts of 2-3 words instead of full sentences most of the time, and she did not bring any sense of different character voices or emotions. Even though the book was good, I'm not compelled to go get the next one in the series. I am giving the story itself 4 stars because I thought it ended rather abruptly.

Book sounds like Siri
I love all of the Samantha Moon books. My husband and I have listened to them all. But, the voice on Moon Bayou sounds a lot like Siri. Kathy Vogel doesn't narrate as well as Sylvia Roldan Dohi. I would love to hear Sylvia narrate the next Samantha Moon books.
