Vicki Pettersson is the New York Times bestselling author of SWERVE, a riveting psychological thriller with a terrifying, and simple, premise: One woman. One road. One killer. She’s also penned two dark fantasy series: the Celestial Blues trilogy (THE TAKEN, THE LOST, THE GIVEN) featuring a P.I/angel from the 50’s who pairs up with a modern-day rockabilly reporter. Together, they fight crime. The six-book ‘Signs of the Zodiac’ series begins with THE SCENT OF SHADOWS and features reluctant superhero, Joanna Archer, also set in her hometown of Las Vegas. Though she’ll always consider Sin City home, she now divides her time between Vegas and Dallas, Texas, where she’s learning to like good Tex-Mex (easy) and the Dallas Cowboys (easier than you’d think).

The Scent of Shadows by Vicki Pettersson
Vicki Pettersson has come up with a cool and original idea for the paranormal genre: an on-going battle between good and evil that corresponds to the signs of the zodiac.
I loved the way that Pettersson used comic books to keep the history of the conflict and she really did a fantastic job portraying kids in a comic book shop.
The main character in the Zodiac series is the only fly in the ointment. Joanna Archer just seems to be a bit inconsistent.
