The Taste of Night - The Second Sign of the Zodiac

Vicki Pettersson

Blurb: Being mortal isn't easy. Being a superhero is even harder.

Even mortal, Joanna Archer was nobody's idea of a victim. She survived physical trauma and emotional devastation long before her true destiny was revealed on her 25th birthday. But now, infused with the supernatural power to alter the battle between Shadow and Light forever, she has become a target.

The Shadow Zodiac of Las Vegas will stop at nothing to force Joanna's allegiance, and they will stop at nothing to destroy her if she continues to resist them. But when a toxic virus strikes Las Vegas, Joanna's friends and loved ones become targets too and she knows she must act.

To find the cure and best the Shadows Joanna must alienate her allies and release the darkness within her, but first she must vanquish the demons in her past.

The Scent of Shadows - The First Sign of the Zodiac (Vicki Pettersson)

The Scent of Shadows - The First Sign of the Zodiac

Vicki Pettersson

Blurb: 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 neon lights and action of sin city; a world where forces of Light and Shadow wage war, and only twelve brave men and women endowed with supernatural abilities keep evil at bay.

But the battle has reached a tipping point, and just one person will control the fate of the city: casino heiress, photographer, and vigilante: Joanna Archer.

Brutally raped as a teenager, Joanna should, bu rights, be dead. Now she prowls the streets after sunset, 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...

The Touch of Twilight - The Third Sign of the Zodiac (Vicki Pettersson)

The Touch of Twilight - The Third Sign of the Zodiac

Vicki Pettersson

Blurb: Made up of both Light and Shadow, Joanna Archer has accepted her destiny as Avenger, Saviour ... and Destroyer.

In public she is a sexy, sophisticated socialite; one of the beautiful people of Las Vegas. But she inhabits another world too: the city underworld that mortals can't see and could never enter... a dangerous dimension where the agents of good and evil do battle.

But Vegas is all about winning big - or losing everything, and as the strength of the Light begins to fail, Joanna realises that to save her friends, her future, and both her world, she will have to gamble it all, embrace her dark side and confront the ultimate Shadow demon: her father.

Game of Thrones: Book One of A Song of Ice and Fire (George R.R. Martin)

Game of Thrones: Book One of A Song of Ice and Fire

George R.R. Martin

Blurb: Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men. All will play the Game of Thrones.

Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plot, lusts and intrigues; to the vast frozen north where a 700-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. The Game of Thrones. You win, or you die.

Book One of A Song of Ice and Fire begins the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age.
