I discovered among my sister’s borrowed books Vicki Pettersson. I love reading new authors but more than that- I love originality. I found that in the Zodiac Series. From the world building to the writing to the super hero soldiers themselves, it all reeked of originality. I was hooked from book one, page one, hell sentence one. Naturally, after finishing the series thus far, I felt compelled to review. So here it is. The Signs of the Zodiac Series by Vicki Pettersson “Before you plan your next trip to Vegas, you might want to answer... Are you Light? Or are you Shadow? Because there’s another world behind the bright lights and nonstop action of Sin city ... one where Light and Shadow wage an immortal war for supremacy. But the eternal battle has reached the tipping point, and only one person can change the future – casino heiress, photographer, and vigilante: Joanna Archer. And no one knows the darkness within better than she does.” Who is Joanna Archer? Victim, survivor, photographer, vigilante, heiress, socialite, superhero- Yes. Joanna, Jo, Jo-Jo-, Olivia, Livy-girl, Ms. Archer, the Kairos, the Archer-Yes. Daughter, sister, soldier, leader, followers, mother, everyone, and no one- Yes. Joanna is such a complex character, one living in both the shadow and light. Everyone wants her dead. Everyone wants a piece of her. And Joanna, well she’s only beginning to have a clue to what she wants. All her life Joanna has known loss. Her mother abandoned her as a child and then she was dutifully despised and ignored by her so-called father. She has sought violence and death in the streets of Sin City. And you what they say, if you knock long enough the devil will answer the door. That door swung wide open to Joanna. In a very short span of time, she lost her sister, entered a group of super beings known as Zodiac Troop 175, and became her dead sister as a cover identity. And that was only the beginning. Joanna fights the good fight or so she thinks fulfilling the first sign of the zodiac- the unveiling of the Kairos, the second sign, a plague, and the third sign the awakening of the Kairos' dormant side. By the fourth sign, Joanna thinks she may have a chance at some normalcy. Maybe she can hang with friends or fall in love like any other girl. Nope. Joanna must enter a new world known as Midheaven. A fantastical place run by amazonesque women that make the shadows look tame. She has her mission and if she fails, the fourth sign will not happen and all will be lost. Just a typical day for one Joanna Archer. During the course of the fifth sign, we see Joanna waiver. We see her frail and lost both physically and emotionally. She is once again abandoned and betrayed. She has no stability. Her lover is disloyal and her troop leaves her defenseless. This is a book of questions. What is right and wrong? What does she have to live for? Is she a rainbow or just plain grey? What are her lover’s real motives and are they meant to be? Some questions are answered and others are raised. But, by the end, Joanna Archer knows one thing, she’s pissed and if she’s going down, she’s going down swinging. This may not be a series of HEA’s, but it is a gritty kick-ass urban fantasy. The world building is phenomenal and only gets better in each book. The writing is seamless with engrossing characters that have you wanting/demanding/needing more. Each book leaves the reader eager for the next rollercoaster ride. In an age of vampires and werewolves, Pettersson’s superheroes pack a punch that cannot and will not be ignored. Here are the books in order and Vicki’s site: http://www.vickipettersson.com/home.html • The Scent of Shadows: The First Sign of the Zodiac • The Taste of Night: The Second Sign of the Zodiac • The Touch of Twilight: The Third Sign of the Zodiac • City of Souls: The Fourth Sign of the Zodiac • Cheat the Grave: The Fifth Sign of the Zodiac • Neon Graveyard: The Sixth Sign of the Zodiac (May 31st 2011) `Happy Reading!
