Omens and Good-byes

Joanna Archer has had a difficult life, for sure. She also makes a point to mention it every chance she gets. I love this series, but it's becoming dangerously close to one where you want to take the heroine, or superheroine in this case, and shake her. Very little is accomplished here and what little is accomplished happens in the last few chapters. She focuses entirely too much on revenge she thinks she deserves, totally ignoring things like responsibility to her troop and a little girl she has essentially broken.
The book is not a complete loss. Facts are unearthed about her childhood home, alternate planes, the power of thought, and why some people are the way they are. She finally makes a decision about her love life, takes the initiative in Olivia's life, and discovers some intrigue within her stepfather's life. The book is also a great resource for some of the trivialities: what exactly is a tulpa, how does a conduit come into existence, how much license does the author grant for the supernatural, what car does Hunter drive?
Ultimately, it's a worthwhile read, especially if you're already into the series. It helps tie some things together, creates some interesting venues for the future, and furthers a few interpersonal bonds within the troop. I just really hope this isn't a sign of things to come as the first two books were a much easier, enjoyable read.

I love this Series, The Zodiac Series

Joanna/Oliva Archer is part light and part shadow. In this book she is being stalked by a doppelganger from a preternatural realm. She is still fighting off her Father, the Tupla and trying to protect her old boyfriend Ben from the Shadow Agent, Regan. We meet up again with all of the agents of the light and some of the shadow agents. These books are fast paced and great fun. Once I pick one up, I have a hard time putting it down. I guess I will have to wait at least a year for the next one in the series. What a great series, so different. I love the Zodiac Series.

Touch of Twilight

All three of the Zodiac books are great, but I really couldn't put Book 3 down at all, especially toward the end. Very creative and fun. The books pull you in and don't let you go. I hope the author will continue the series.






Needs more action!!

I really loved the previous two books that Vicki wrote, but I have to be truthful the first half of this book was really slow. Joanna just seems to go on and on about how flawed she is and how everything that she does is wrong. Her devotion to Ben is admirable, but for me it really got old hearing about how much she loved him and would never leave him. I kept putting the book down wondering when some action would occur, and forcing myself to pick it up again because I knew eventually Vicki would write some action that I would like. Well she did, I liked the end of the book (even though I didn't like the way Joanna treated Hunter). I really wanted this book to be as good as the last two, but I have to say it was a chore to read the first 200 pages. Will I read the next book in Vicki's series? Yes, I probably will. I do care about Joanna and want to read more of her adventures; I just hope the next book gets to the action/adventures faster than this one did.

Pettersson Fan

I am a big Pettersson fan with this new series. Book 3 started out much slower than the first two, but stick with it, it ends better than it started.
In general, this is a great series for Sci Fi/Fantasy fans!


reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4



On the surface she's a sexy, sophisticated socialite, at home among the beautiful people of the Las Vegas upper crust. But Joanna Archer inhabits another world: a place ordinary humans cannot see . . . a dangerous dimension where an eternal battle rages between the agents of Light and Shadow. And Joanna is both.

Stalked by an enigmatic doppelganger from a preternatural realm, Joanna can feel the Light failing?which is propelling her toward a terrifying confrontation with the ultimate master of evil, the dark lord of Shadow: her father.

Vegas is all about winning big . . . or losing everything. To save her friends, her future, her worlds, Joanna Archer must gamble it all by fully embracing the darkness inside her.
