About this ebook

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 . . .

Ratings and reviews

It took me more than several tries to start this book. Finally, after all of my other books had been read, I was able to stay with the story line. It turned out to be a really good! First books in a series always seem to start out slow anyways. I will be looking for the next book now for sure.

Great book, didn't want to read at first but glad I did.

Her books are so vivid and griping. Characters that become friends and worlds you are sure you have visited.

About the author

Vicki Pettersson is the New York Times bestselling author of the Sign of the Zodiac novels, a six-book urban fantasy series set in her hometown of Las Vegas. Though she'll always consider that glittering dust bowl home, she now divides her time between Vegas and Dallas, where she's learning to like good Tex-Mex (easy) and the Dallas Cowboys (easier than you'd think).
