The Touch of Twilight (Signs of the Zodiac Series #3) »

After a decade dancing with the Tropicana's Folies Bergere, Las Vegas native Vicki Pettersson traded in her sequins for a laptop and became a writer. "Blending dark fantasy and hard-boiled mystery with elements of romance and apocalyptic thriller... [Pettersson's novels are] set amid the neon-lit glitziness of Sin City and feature Joanna Archer, one of the most intriguing and unfathomably deep heroines to grace the pages of a supernatural fantasy in ages," say our editors.

On the surface she's a sexy, sophisticated socialite, at home among the beautiful people of the Las Vegas upper crust. But Joanna Archer inhabits another world: a place ordinary humans cannot see . . . a dangerous dimension where an eternal battle rages between the agents of Light and Shadow. And Joanna is both.

Stalked by an enigmatic doppelganger from a preternatural realm, Joanna can feel the Light failing—which is propelling her toward a terrifying confrontation with the ultimate master of evil, the dark lord of Shadow: her father.

Vegas is all about winning big . . . or losing everything. To save her friends, her future, her worlds, Joanna Archer must gamble it all by fully embracing the darkness inside her.
