5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 12 Aug 2007
By Mrs. A. Compton (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the second of what is becoming one of my favourite series.

'Equal parts light and Shadow Joanna Archer must fulfill a destiny she never wanted Once a photographer and heress to a casino fortune, she is now dedicated to the cause of good.... but susceptable to the seductions of evil.

A deadly virus is descending on Las Vegas - a terrifying plague unleashed by the powerful overlord of the Zodiac's dark side : Joanna's father. Chaos and panic grip the city as agents of light fall prey to the terrifying epidemic. Joanna stands at the dead centre of an epic and terrible war long fortold the last hope of a damned world.

But first she must somehow conquer the malevolence that grows all around her.... and within.'

I really cannot stress how good this series is, I finished this book two days ago and I am still thinking of the characters. We see more of Ben, Hunter, the Tulpa and the man who attacked Joanna when she was 15. We learn more of Joanna's legacy and how different from the light side she already is. I found myself becoming very emotionally involved with Joanna's plight, especially when the light side turn their back on her.

I won't say any more about the story except that this is a must read for anyone interested in supernatural stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars Second in the Zodiac Series, 9 Jan 2009
By Lesley70 - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Taste of Night (Zodiac 2) (Paperback)
Joanna Archer is the Kairos - equal parts light and shadow, she currently fights as the Archer (sagittarius) for the Zodiac of Light in Las Vegas. As the Agents of Dark release a terrifying epidemic on the city that will kill both Agents of Light and innocent humans, it will be up to her to put things right and by doing so fulfil the second half of the Kairos prophecy.

This book like the first is full of quotable dialogue, snappy banter and backtalk. Joanna is another Urban Fantasy heroine who has a fine line in the bitchy comment department.

"I made it a rule to never say anything bad about my friend's boyfriends until I was sure they were well and truly out of the picture - preferably dead."

Joanna is so sure of herself and her beliefs, she gets very tunnel-visioned. It's ultimately only the fact that she's able to pull herself out of this focus that saves her. At the end of the book, she's no longer the same person she was at the beginning. I'm hoping this character growth is carried on into the next story.

She's not a heroine you instantly warm to - she's ambiguous and I actually like not knowing which way she may go. It's quite clever that Vicki Pettersson leaves us with the possibility she may join the Agents of Darkness and you believe it could happen. It's the other characters that fall into Joanna's sphere and humanize her, that help you root for her.

Hunter and Joanna have great light the page up chemistry, you can practically feel the hormones coming off the page. But she is still hung up on Ben, the boyfriend from her past life. My problem is when she's not with Ben I want her to be with Hunter. But when she is with Ben I can see it's kind of sweet and then I'm just left wanting her to make a decision. Then I'm left feeling frustrated, which might be the effect the author is going for? But I hope this issue is going to be resolved soon. And although I think the worldbuilding is fascinating and original, some of it just goes straight over my head.

However, at the end of the book I was ready to read the next one, which I've already ordered. :)

Book 1 - The Scent of Shadows
Book 3 - The Touch of Twilight
Book 4 - City of Souls (Jul 2009)

This review is from: The Taste of Night (Zodiac 2) (Paperback)
I really thought the idea behind VP's series wouldn't be so good, I am glad that it is though it's nice to come across some great new writers, definatley one to follow.
