The Touch of Twilight: The Third Sign of the Zodiac by Vicki Pettersson

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Super Heroes, Sign of the Zodiac

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: On the surface she's a sexy, sophisticated socialite, at home among the beautiful people of the Las Vegas upper crust. But Joanna Archer inhabits another world: a place ordinary humans cannot see . . . a dangerous dimension where an eternal battle rages between the agents of Light and Shadow. And Joanna is both.  Stalked by an enigmatic doppelganger from a preternatural realm, Joanna can feel the Light failing—which is propelling her toward a terrifying confrontation with the ultimate master of evil, the dark lord of Shadow: her father. Vegas is all about winning big . . . or losing everything. To save her friends, her future, her worlds, Joanna Archer must gamble it all by fully embracing the darkness inside her.

This is the third book in the Sign of the Zodiac series. Where this story goes with Joanna has the ups and downs. Watching her deal with watching Ben while Hunter keeps trying to get her attention, was a great love triangle. Her learning more about her daughter that she thought she didn’t want to know anything about. You can understand the why behind it and yet it is still hard to experience through Jo’s eyes. It makes you want to help her through the rough times. I'm really interested in seeing where this will go in the next book, City of Souls.

The Taste of Night: The Second Sign of the Zodiac by Vicki Pettersson

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Super Heroes, Sign of the Zodiac

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Equal parts Light and Shadow, Joanna Archer must fulfill a destiny she never wanted. Once a photographer and heiress to a casino fortune, she is now dedicated to the cause of good . . . but susceptible to the seductions of evil. A deadly virus is descending on Las Vegas-a terrifying plague unleashed by the powerful overlord of Zodiac's dark side: Joanna's father. Chaos and panic grip Sin City as agents of Light fall prey to the terrifying epidemic. Death reigns supreme-and Joanna stands at dead center of an epic and terrible war long foretold, the last hope of a damned world. But first she must somehow conquer the malevolence that grows all around her . . . and within.

This is the second book of the Sign of the Zodiac series. Joanna’s story continues to bring up old wounds. Even though she is becoming more comfortable in her role both in her new life and with her troop, she still has much to learn. Again Vicki brings a new look to Sin City. I love how dark that it can seem. And the scenes at the Comic shop remind me of my high school days when I used to hang out at my local comic shop. I loved reading this book as I could really put myself into the story. I am really looking forward to reading the next book in this series, The Touch of Twilight.

The Scent of Shadows: The First Sign of the Zodiac by Vicki Pettersson

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Super Heroes, Sign of the Zodiac

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: When she was sixteen, Joanna Archer was brutally assaulted and left to die in the Nevada desert. By rights, she should be dead. Now a photographer by day, she prowls a different Las Vegas after sunset -- a grim, secret Sin City where Light battles Shadow -- seeking answers to whom or what she really is . . . and revenge for the horrors she was forced to endure. But . . . the nightmare is just beginning . . . for the demons are hunting . . . Joanna . . . and . . . the powerful shadows want her . . . for their own . . .

Joanna Archer is your dark history strong heroine, my favorite kind. She holds to her own ideals and follows her gut. This is an amazing world that she finds herself a part of. There are many different characters that you aren’t sure which side they are really on but it all comes together. I can't wait to see where this world is going to go. I am so looking forward to reading the next book, The Taste of Night.
