Cover for Incan Moon

A girls’ trip to Peru sounds like the perfect escape for Samantha Moon—just her kids, best friend, and a promise to play tourist instead of vampire detective. But Machu Picchu isn’t just a breathtaking ruin. It’s a powder keg of ancient magic waiting to blow. When Sam and Tammy sense something dark stirring among the Incan stones, they realize their mere presence is awakening a centuries-old anchored curse. If left unchecked, it will open a gateway to something monstrous—hungry for human souls. By night, they return to the ruins, battling ghostly warrior spirits, navigating illusion spells, and racing to destroy the magical anchors before the city becomes a supernatural feeding ground. Vacation? Please. Try fighting off an ancient apocalypse with your teenage daughter, wisecracking best friend, and hyper little empath in tow. "Incan Moon" launches the Latin Moon saga with humor, family warmth, rich Peruvian atmosphere, and Samantha Moon’s unbreakable determination to protect what she loves—even in the face of ancient horrors.

Cover for Xibalba Moon

What’s a relaxing trip to Guatemala without a quick side quest to the Mayan underworld ? Samantha Moon just wanted more bonding time with her daughters, her best friend, and the gorgeous cenotes of Cobán. But when a desperate mother begs for help finding her kidnapped son, Sam can’t say no. The boy isn’t in a normal cave—he’s trapped in Xibalba , a nightmare realm of ancient death gods, illusions, and soul-devouring monsters. With Allison’s witchcraft, Tammy’s fae-trained magic, and Paxton’s empathic instincts, they descend into the underworld to battle trickster spirits, solve deadly puzzles, and outwit a not-so-human kidnapper bent on revenge. But Sam’s not just a vampire PI—she’s a mom first. And no hellscape is keeping her from saving a child. "Xibalba Moon" turns up the danger, folklore, and supernatural thrills in the Latin Moon saga—blending Mayan mythology, paranormal adventure, and Samantha Moon’s signature humor and motherly determination.

Cover for Golden Moon

Sun-drenched jungles. Lost cities. A treasure everyone wants... and no one should touch. Samantha Moon just wanted to show her kids the wonders of Colombia’s Amazon basin. But vacation plans go off the rails when they hear about a hidden ruin stuffed with El Dorado–style gold—and the deadly curse that guards it. Ignoring warnings (as usual), Sam, Allison, Tammy, and Paxton venture deep into the jungle, only to be attacked by spectral warriors bound to protect the hoard for eternity. These ancient spirits aren’t evil—they’re enslaved. Breaking the curse means battling illusions, disabling lethal traps, and fighting golden constructs... all while leaving the treasure untouched. Because Sam’s not in this for the gold. She’s here to free the dead. "Golden Moon" delivers supernatural adventure, family humor, and heart in equal measure—another unforgettable stop on the Latin Moon saga’s magical South American road trip.

Cover for Nazca Moon

Just one last stop in Peru, right? How could that go wrong? When Paxton asks to see the famous Nazca Lines, Samantha Moon figures it’s an easy detour—just teleport to the desert, snap a few pics, and call it a day. But the lines aren’t just ancient art. They’re giant glyphs that act as spirit gates , sucking the whole family into a demi-plane teeming with feathered warrior-people, bizarre mesas, and ancient magic. To get home, Sam strikes a deal with an ancient spider demigod. Her price? Rescue 10,000 stolen eggs from the bird people’s sky city before they’re devoured. Cue aerial dogfights with Tammy in eagle form, Sam turning into a literal dragon, and Allison providing snarky magical support while Paxton plays negotiator. Because even on vacation, saving babies—no matter how many legs they have—is non-negotiable. "Nazca Moon" brings massive-scale magical adventure, deep South American mythology, and Samantha Moon’s signature humor and heart to the Latin Moon saga’s most otherworldly journey yet.

Cover for Easter Moon

What's more relaxing than a trip to Easter Island? Giant stone heads, beautiful sunsets, ancient mysteries... and a bloodthirsty cult trying to sacrifice your daughters. For Samantha Moon, the vacation from hell continues in Chile when her quick teleport to show Paxton and Tammy the famous moai statues goes horribly wrong. Abducted by robed fanatics bent on using ancient magic to summon elemental giants, the girls fight for their lives while Sam races to save them—dodging crossbow bolts, tackling cultists, and getting stabbed straight through (but hey, she’s had worse). Together, Sam, Allison, and Tammy battle the cultists' spells, animate moai guardians, and magical booby traps to free Easter Island from a looming supernatural catastrophe. Then, as any good tourist would, they calmly rejoin a local guided tour—bloody swimsuits and all. "Easter Moon" delivers high-octane supernatural adventure, irreverent humor, and Samantha Moon’s fiercely protective motherly love in a wild South American showdown that proves vacation is just another word for “battlefield.”

Cover for Amazon Moon

Samantha Moon should have known better than to end a vacation with a scenic helicopter ride over the Amazon. When a demonic entity attacks mid-flight, their chopper crashes deep in the jungle—leaving Sam, Allison, Tammy, and Paxton bruised, battered, and on foot in one of the deadliest places on Earth. But the real danger isn’t the snakes, the bugs, or the endless green walls. It’s the creature that stalks them. Feeding on fear, it conjures illusions to separate and trap them. Sam’s vampire powers are pushed to the limit as she fights to keep her family alive, battling jungle hazards, relentless nightmares, and the demon itself in a final showdown beneath the suffocating canopy. Because vacations end. But being Mom never does. "Amazon Moon" is the harrowing finale of the Latin Moon saga—a survival-horror adventure packed with Brazilian jungle atmosphere, supernatural menace, family loyalty, and Samantha Moon’s unbreakable, blood-soaked determination to bring her girls home.
