Dark Matter eLiquid
Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.
Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.
Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Summary: "Excellent Second Book in the Series"
After reading the first book in the series, I went and downloaded the second to my Nook in and effort to read a series through to the end before starting a new one. I was not disappointed with this plan in the least. It was almost as if it was an extension of the first book, flowing right into it.
As I expected, there was none of the slow intro that there is many times in the first book in a series. If you read the first book, you would already know about the paranormal world Jo lives in. This allows us as the reader to dive right into the story - and dive right in we do. The action picks up in the beginning giving us a depth in the Shadow Agents. In this book the action is there, the overhanging doom of the plague is there but it is flavored with an almost humanizing of the Shadow Agents.
Don't get me wrong, they are still as nasty as Taco Bell at two in the morning, but you get an idea of why they are that nasty. You almost feel sorry for them. That is until one of them opens up their mouth and says something. Which is the feeling I get that the author is trying to show us - a bit of how Jo is seeing things.
She is part Shadow and part Light. Her mother, the previous Archer for the Light had her while infiltrating the Shadow side with the Tulpa, Leader of the Shadows and a being created fully from thought and will. An evil agent on the Shadow side created him out of his imagination. And now this creature with near limitless power knows that Joanna Archer is his daughter.
The idea of the "cursed battlefield" that is the Second Sign that the Zodiac troops are looking for is presented in a couple of different ways. The reason this appealed to me is that it left it up to me to interpret which one was really happening - if there was indeed only a single cursed battlefield.
The one thing that I wanted to see more of in the first book I felt like I was given. More of a style of Krav Maga from Jo. Without spoiling too much, there is at least one major fight scene where I feel she was displaying more of the brutality of the fighting style working in conjunction with her superhuman powers. More inline with the initial fight she had with Ajax and the Shadow that killed her sister.
With more of a depth of feeling and caring for the characters, more of a Krav Maga feel to her fighting and everything from the first book that I loved, I am moving this one up a bit higher in the grading system. At least an A- and well worth the money and definitely worth the time to read. Book 3 is already sitting in my Nook waiting for me to open it.

Summary: "dissappointed"
The first book caught my interest and I loved it's originality. In this book, the heroine was whiny and lackluster. She lacked direction and never seemed to get on track. I kept thinking, "Get smart!", but it never happened. I'm afraid that this felt like a slice of life and didn't seem to have a purposeful place to go and logic seemed to float away. So much potential, oh well.

Another wonderful book by Vicki Pettersson. The more that I learn about Joanna Archer the more that I want to learn about her. This was an action packed story that grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go. I am definitely looking forward to more from this amazing storyteller.

Summary: "Science and Magic Come Together"
Science and magic come together to decimate Las Vegas's population in the second volume of the Signs of the Zodiac series.
Joanna Archer is still living a double life as a superhero and a socialite heiress, going under her sister Olivia's name. But someone else knows her as Joanna: a Shadow initiate whose metamorphosis isn't far away. Regan DuPree seems both a helper and a hindrance, and Jo trusts her when she probably shouldn't. As a result, she unintentionally spreads the deadly virus that the Tupla let loose, and things worsen from there.
The Neon Boneyard is a brilliant setting as always, and Joaquin's underground lair is genuinely creepy. The melding of science and magic is a big part of what makes this series a winner, and the plague steps this up a notch. And it goes to show that orders by troop leaders are issued for a reason: because defying them will only worsen things for everyone, as Joanna learns. I wanted to slap her a few times, and it's rather annoying when she approaches her human lover as her true self. A high point of this series is that the real focus - as it should be - is on Jo coming to terms with her Light and Shadow sides. So bringing in Ben Traina is frustrating, and Jo's jealousy over his new girlfriend seems over-the-top.
There's clever plotting and foreshadowing - everything Jo learns early in the novel becomes important later. But there're plenty of unfinished plot threads that'll hopefully be picked up in latter instalments. Why didn't teenager Joanna abort her foetus instead of fulfilling the pregnancy and adopting out the child? When will Jo and her mother Zoe finally meet again, and what might happen?
