Product Description:
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.

Rating:  - Kind of a retread, but still fun.
Vicki Pettersson, The Taste of Night (Avon, 2007)
Pettersson's second Signs of the Zodiac book says "series fiction" just a little too loudly for me; most authors seem to take two or three books to settle into some conventions, while Pettersson adopts them wholeheartedly here (though she does avoid the "retell the whole story for the first half of the book" curse that afflicted, say, Terry Goodkind). I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this, given that it is series fiction, but something ... Read More
Rating:  - I love this Series, The Zodiac Series
In this book, the second book of the Zodiac series, the book opens about 6 months down the road from where the first book left off, Joanna/Olivia is at a charity auction where she is one of many dates being auctioned off. When she goes to meet the man that bid the highest for her, he calls her Archer and tells her, he know exactly who she really is. She follows him, and another Blonde woman that was bidding on her and is almost killed as the man is a Shadow agent and the woman is a Shadow initate. ... Read More
Rating: - Going great!
Yes, I truly like this serie. As it happened with the first one, 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 balance. 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, is a little of both sides, and she can choose in what side to be. I liked it, because the other ones where born to be light or to be shadow, without being able ... Read More
Rating: - Can't wait to experience the Third Sign
In the Second Sign of the Zodiac, our heroine faces a plagued battlefield as Las Vegas is attacked by a quickly spreading virus. She is faced with a fledgling shadow playing powerful games that effect everything about her and the vengeance of wanting all of the men who hurt her dead. Joanna has to choose where her allegiance lies and what really is the most important thing in her new life.
I enjoy Pettersson's approach on humanizing and growing Joanna at the same time. Taste of Night has Joanna ... Read More
Rating: - Quite an enjoyable read!
I just loved the "different" feel of this book... I found myself surprised by several twists and turns along the way... not just an old predictable read. I couldn't put it down!
