Red Moon: A Vampire Files Novel #2 (Vampire Files Trilogy) Kindle Edition

by RK Close (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 809 ratings

★★★★★ "A worthy successor to the fabulous 'RED NIGHT'! Red Moon is a more than worthy successor to the fabulous Red Night. It’s an intriguing suspense novel in its own right and mysterious down to the wire. I was thrilled to be reunited with the luscious Adam and the feisty PI Samantha in this fast-paced urban fantasy page-turner. And guess what? Not only do we still have one of the genre’s hottest vampires, this time we’re treated to werewolves too! The plot was strong and well thought out with many unseen twists and turns. The tension between the two leads was as compelling as ever, the heat levels ratcheting up several notches. R.K. Close is a natural in this genre. I look forward to the third book in the series." — Juliet Lyons, Author of Dating the Undead (Bite Nights) novels.


Private investigator Samantha Chase survived an immortal serial killer, but now she faces a new danger. The city is paralyzed by fear as bizarre animal attacks plague the streets. When Sam's new case involving a missing college student becomes entangled with these attacks, she suspects a sinister scheme at play.

However, Sam's troubles don't end there. Her relationship with Adam, a mysterious and protective vampire, is tested when he vanishes just when she needs him the most. As she searches for him, Sam realizes her life may be in danger. To survive the growing threats against her, she must find the missing student.

Amidst assassination attempts, veiled threats from her clients, and a mysterious stalker, Sam remains determined to locate Adam. She must rely on her psychic abilities, even if they point to Adam as her greatest threat. Can she halt a supernatural turf war, find the missing girl, and stay alive long enough to rescue Adam?


In this perilously romantic tale filled with unexpected turns, Sam must confront her fears and trust her instincts to uncover the truth. Brace yourself for a captivating and gripping romance that will keep you hooked until the very last page.

★★★★★ "I couldn't put it down! This book is amazing; I can't believe that I stayed up all night reading but one thing is for sure, I have found my next series to read. I know that you will have a hard time putting this book down too." — READER REVIEW

"My fingernails were bloody by the end of the prologue, and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." - Elicia Hyder, bestselling author of The Soul Summoner *5 Stars*"RK Close has taken Urban Fantasy to the next level and crafted a world of paranormal creatures we can all fall in love with." - Leila Adams, author of Offering ~ Blood Star Vampires

From the Author

Of all the Vampire Files books, Red Moon is my all-time favorite. There is layer upon layer of twists and turns, secret stories, and wonderful plot twists in this second novel. It's also the longest in the series. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

    I do love Kindle Unlimited! Thanks to them, I inhaled the continuation of Sam's story this evening.
    ( Writers who put books into KU have first dibs on my book budget! )

    Sam's world is expanding exponentially, and dangerously so. A common threat brings the various groups of supes together, albeit with much caution and tension.

    Writer RK Close has created a rich world, with the potential for endless stories. I do enjoy the dynamics among the supe groups and the individuals. A theme is emerging of people seeking to update the rules and traditions of their people to something more equitable and just. That alone creates some fine plot twists, in addition to everything else happening. Overall, the writing and editing are again excellent.

    Content: There is passion, but there are no sex scenes. I do not recall any vulger language. There is violence, but there are no graphic, excruciating details.

    Possible Trigger: Sam and others are in danger from enemies through most of this book. The resulting sense of being under threat may be a trigger for some readers.

    I do like that "light" far outweighs any "darkness" in this book. Sam sets an example of facing what she fears and doing the right thing to the best of her ability.

    Happy Reading!

    It's hard to believe there are 26 year old virgins out there, but this is a fantasy. The author doesn't go into too much detail over her vampire culture other than consuming only blood, being preternaturally fast and have glowing blue eyes. It's also a bit difficult to reconcile the other love interest. One grows fond of the characters but one of them loses out, so there's sympathy for the good guy who doesn't get the girl. Nonetheless its an enjoyable tale of vampire, werewolf, witches and coming up - fae in the mix.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Red Moon means Deeper Trouble...
    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Last time we left Samantha Chase grounded with a hot vampire boyfriend. I remember those good days of freedom and fun in which after vanquishing a threat in Zachariah, we were just left in the anticipation of how things were going to develop for Sam and Adam.

    Well, things happened, but as you know. This is not a fairy tale, it's a vampire story, and RK Close knows how to write her monsters...

    The second installment of the Vampire Files takes a risk, and that is managing an emerging story line while still exploring issues left opened in the first book. The treatment of these subjects is what makes or breaks a trilogy and RK handles it all beautifully.

    Samantha is still dealing with certain aspects of herself. Forget about the fact that she found out about the supernatural not so long ago... or that she is now dealing with the perks and inconveniences of having a vampire boyfriend.

    Now there are indications that for her, the link runs deeper. Those dreams that might have been a link to Adam or happy coincidences, are expanding into a gift that proves both beneficial and dangerous, depending on how her dreams affect reality around her.

    And then, there's the upcoming case... a simple, run of the mill missing person. Or is it? Soon enough, she'll find there is something a little more sinister than youths on the run. Something powerful, organized, family focused, and with a thirst for violence in full moon nights...

    If I tell you more I'll spoil it, but all I have to say is keep watching Samantha Chase. She's proving to be a unique female protagonist in the world that mixes paranormal and romance.
    RK Close did it again, Red Moon is a relatable red with characters that carry genuine voices. It will thrill you and leave you wanting more, because... guess what? People and circumstances are revisiting Samantha's life... enough to guarantee that it will come full ciIt me

    If you haven’t read Red Night, the first book in the Vampire Files Trilogy, you will want to read that to find out how Samantha Chase’s life turned upside down when she found herself falling for a sexy vampire named Adam.

    In this second book, the Phoenix Private Investigator finds herself yet again with an expanding understanding of the paranormal world. When she is asked to look into the disappearance of a young woman, it comes as a shock to learn she is dealing with a werewolf family. As sworn enemies, a clash ensues between the vampire she loves and those she must deal with to find answers to solve her case.

    Stalked and attacked, Sam ends up in the middle of a conflict when two local werewolf packs are out for blood and justice. To make things worse, as things begin to heat up, Adam disappears without a trace. There is a second plot happening behind the scenes, one, even more dangerous and threatening. In an unexpected twist, Sam learns vampires and werewolves are not the only creatures she must fear. There are other paranormal beings in our world even more dangerous that want to harm her.

    This story is fast-paced and keeps you guessing until the end. RK Close has taken Urban Fantasy to the next level and crafted a world of paranormal creatures we can all fall in love with. Smart and sexy, Sam is the ultimate hero, who is always striving to do the right thing and protect those she loves. Red Moon is the kind of book you will want to read more than once. And I have!

    I'm loving this series. I kind of reminds me of the Sookie Stackhouse series (orginal 9 books before the True Blood TV series) except it's cleaner, no swearing, no sex...so far, but definitely not boring. RK writes a great cast of characters and a world for them to play in. There is always something new to discover in her paranormal world.
    On to reading book three.
    Happy Reading:-)

    Trapped in a cellar with a hungry vampire. He’s chained to the wall for the moment, but how long are those chains going to hold? For Samantha Chase, this is her worst nightmare. She knows she’s been playing with fire but so far she’s trusted Adam to keep her safe. But now he’s growling and thrashing to break the chains to get to her blood... and his eyes are feral. Will this be the end?
