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 . . .

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Imaginative but falls way short.
The Sagittarius, or the Archer, in the Zodiac is a symbol of individual prowess, fire as well as uncivilized behavior and temper. And encompasses a dual relation between things, especially being both Light and Shadow, and not becoming consumed by either. This fits Joanna Archer to a tee. And it should, since that is not only her Sign, but her birthright. Born to a mother of the Light and a father, the Tulpa, who is the hellfire leader of the Shadow Zodiac side, Joanna isn't just special: she's destiny ... Read More
Rating: - A new Series, The Zodiac Series
I started this book and I couldn't put it down. I had to keep reading it, a lot happens in this first book. Joanna was raped at 15 and beaten and left for dead. Now on the eve of her 25th birthday, she finds out that she is not her Father's true Daughter, goes out on a blind date and gets attacked by a weird creepy guy that tries to kill her and meets back up with her teenage boyfriend, Ben. They go out to dinner and she leaves him to go and meet her sister Olivia afterwards and they get attacked in ... Read More
Rating: - Threateningly Good
This book, a first in a series, takes a whole knew look and style on the urban fantasy field. A real rare treat. The book takes a look in super hero view.
The main character is haunted by her past. And losing the life she hated, she realized how much she loved it, and how much she was never really living. She was the one killing her self and not the man who ended her happiness. All while having to live in her body, surgically altered to look like her sister. Who she watched plummet to her death. ...

Rating: - Stole this out from under my husband's nose!
My husband bought this book for himself and I was intrigued, he'd never read this sort of book before, and although I've read some fantasty in the past this series was not on my radar.
I've spent the last three or four nights reading this after he's gone to sleep, it is hard to put down!
I like the heroine, I like the plot, and I like the characters. I like that the author takes her time in telling the story, instead of rushing one though it. The plot is suspenseful and satisfying. This book, though ... Read More
Rating:  - Surprising
I had given this book quite a thought because I didn't know if that book would be of my likeness or not. First I decided I didn't want to buy it, and afterwards I decided against it after having read some pages. And I'm glad I did because I found this book fascinating. I like the idea of two sides of the zodiac, one light and another shadows, and that they have to work for the balabce. Is like the topic of good and evil but with some new twist added on the middle. I also liked the fact that the main character, Joanna, ... Read More
