Product Description:
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 . . .

I'm always on the hunt for a good urban fantasy. This one came with
two glowing recommendations (on the cover) by one of my favorite
authors, Diana Gabaldon, and also Kim Harrison. Some of the reader's
reviews were mixed so I kept my expectations in check as I started
reading. The result: I liked this book.
It starts out kind of like the movie Point of No Return, and morphs
into graphic novel (sans graphics of course). The writing is good if

I love that this book is different from the typical paranormal romance coming out recently. The idea of super heroes and parallel universes is great and refreshingly unique.

The Scent of Shadows is the First Sign of the Zodiac; the first book in Petterson's Zodiac series. This book exceeded my expectations. I was braced for yet another paranormal series featuring an angsty heroine; but what I got was so much more than that. This book is something both men and women would greatly enjoy; it is much more of a super hero story than a paranormal romance.
Joanna Archer is an heiress. Her father Xavier Archer is a Las Vegas tycoon who owns a number of casinos in Las ... Read More

Although I really liked it, I found this book a bit unsettling. This is because whenever I think of 'Superheros' in an adult story, I'm thinking it HAS TO be campy, fun and/or superficial.
But while having 'campy' elements, this had some very gritty and hardcore moments -- totally NOT what I was expecting, and I had a hard time reconciling the two. I would be laughing at a funny, light part and the next moment someone would be getting seriously tortured.
I also had a hard time ... Read More
