2010 HIGHLIGHT: “Cheat the Grave” by Vicki Pettersson
COMING MAY 25, 2010!
The Fifth Sign of the Zodiac
New York Times Bestselling Author Vicki Pettersson deals a winning hand in her Signs of the Zodiac Series. Writing Urban Fantasy at its absolute best, Vicki delves her readers into the secret world of Light and Shadow, where the two factions wage an immortal war in Sin City.
Vicki says: “I hate to say the idea for this series came to me in a dream–it sounds too precious and capricious, like writing is something that comes to you rather than something you have to work for – but that’s exactly how this idea germinated. I woke up laughing, having just imagined a caricature-ishly beautiful woman fending off a leather-clad homicidal maniac with an overpriced stiletto. If you’ve read SCENT you’ll know the scene I mean.”
The kick-ass, adrenaline-pumping series begins with THE SCENT OF SHADOW, where heroine, Joanna Archer learns demons have marked her for their own and dining with a serial killer can be hazardous to one’s health.
