Another world lurks beneath the surface of things if only one knows just where to look. In this world, Agents of Light battle Agents of Shadow for supremacy…. Joanna Archer suffered a horrific attack when she was 15 years old that left her with emotional walls only few can penetrate. Her sister, Olivia, and her former lover, Ben Traina, are two of those people. Unfortunately for Joanna, her life is about to be turned upside down when the supernatural world comes calling. What will Joanna do when she catches THE SCENT OF SHADOWS? Urban fantasy fans, rejoice! Vicki Pettersson steps up to the plate and delivers a homerun with the first book in her phenomenal new series, THE SCENT OF SHADOWS! This carefully crafted novel chronicles the rise of Joanna Archer as she becomes a member of a superhero-like fighting force. Joanna’s character is exceptionally well done as she is very realistic with her emotions. Joanna’s struggles will keep readers enthralled as this is a book you just can’t put down. Vicki Pettersson also gives readers a legitimate reason for why Joanna has such extensive fighting skills, which is a welcome change from heroines who suddenly morph into fighters for no apparent reason. The entire concept behind THE SCENT OF SHADOWS is simply incredible! Vicki Pettersson’s use of the zodiac as a mechanism for the two opposing sides is absolutely brilliant. The intricate details are what makes this work, however, as the plot never becomes campy but is instead urban fantasy at its finest! THE SCENT OF SHADOWS is the book urban fantasy fans have been waiting for. Vicki Petterson creates a world readers will want to explore further. Ajax Sand and Joaquin are two very evil bad guys and readers will want to know more about what spawned these monstrous men. Don’t miss out on this book as it’s the first book by an author who looks to be one of the new masters of the urban fantasy genre! Reviewed by Debbie
