Book Reviews of The Scent of Shadows (Sign of the Zodiac, Book 1)
Book Review: Threateningly Good
Summary: 4 Stars
This book, a first in a series, takes a whole knew look and style on the urban fantasy field. A real rare treat. The book takes a look in super hero view.
The main character is haunted by her past. And losing the life she hated, she realized how much she loved it, and how much she was never really living. She was the one killing her self and not the man who ended her happiness. All while having to live in her body, surgically altered to look like her sister. Who she watched plummet to her death.
With that little taste, the whole book is like that. Rich and deep. Every page a refreshing break from boring plot, to major mystery. This book just delivers. Delivers characters you can't miss, a plot that is just to good, and so much more.
The whole book is dark and gloomy. And that includes the humor, which has you giggling when you should be solemn.
Light and dark fighting. Their powers coming from the Zodiac, a good and a dark one. If that isn't different enough for you, there is more.
**** Take a chance with this new and DIFFERENT type of Urban Fantasy. Especially if you have ever loved a good hero movie. If urban fantasy meets super hero doesn't empress you. Then there is much more awaiting.
Summary of The Scent of Shadows (Sign of the Zodiac, Book 1)
When she was sixteen, Joanna Archer was brutally assaulted and left to die in the Nevada desert.
By rights, she should be dead.
Now a photographer by day, she prowls a different Las Vegas after sunset—a grim, secret Sin City where Light battles Shadow—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 . . .
