Review: Cheat the Grave by Vicki Pettersson
Summary from Goodreads.com
Las Vegas socialite and otherworldly avenger Joanna Archer gave up everything when she embraced mortality—abandoning her powers and altering her destiny to save a child . . . and a city. Now her former allies are her enemies—and her enemies have nothing to fear.
Yet still she is bound to a prophecy that condemns her to roam a nightmare landscape that ordinary humans cannot see and dare not enter. And a beast is on her trail—an insane killer blinded by bloodlust, who's determined to rip much more from Joanna than merely her now-fragile life. Survival is no longer an option in this dark realm where good and evil have blurred into confusing shades of gray—unless she can gather together an army of onetime foes and destroy everything she once believed in.
Heroine Joanna Archer returns in the fifth installment of the Signs of the Zodiac series, Cheat the Grave and its hands down one the best books in the series. The story picks up shortly after the events that occurred in book 4, City of Souls and Joanna is now human. No more super human skills. No more super healing. Her destiny is over. Or is it? What could happen next? Everything!
Hunted by her enemies, targeted by her former friends, Joanna attempts to make sense of her life now that she no longer has a pre-ordained destiny to follow. But she’s running out of time as an old killer hunts her down to repay a debt that’s owed – in her blood.
I gave Cheat the Grave 5 stars because I received nearly ALL of the answers to the questions that were driving me insane in the previous books. I even received confirmation on the biggest question of the ALL! But you’ve gotta read it – I’m not telling.
Action, murder, mayhem, surprise after surprise and the ultimate showdown – all wrapped up in a single book. Kudos to Vicki Pettersson for keeping book 5 as exciting as the first!
