Taste Of Night

Answer: Regan Dupree

Liam, the Shadow Agent, follows Joanna/Olivia to a charity function where he goads her into chasing after him because he knows her true identity. She follows Liam through a portal and fights him to protect her new life. Regan DuPree, a shadow initiate (Agent in training yet to reach her third life cycle), shows up and kills Liam to prove her devotion to Joanna/Olivia. Regan claims to want Joanna/Olivia to switch sides and reveals her intimate knowledge of Joanna and her new life as Olivia. Regan harasses Joanna/Olivia throughout the novel and traps her into infected her troop with the virus. Regan uses Joanna/Olivia's predictable need for vengeance against Joaquin to keep J quiet about her existence. She strings Joanna along by giving places and times Joaquin will be; eventually, being a Shadow she sets her up and sends her to Joaquin's house.

2. When we first meet Joanna Archer she is on a date with an unknown man. Who is he?

Joanna's sister Olivia was killed six months earlier, so Joanna took over Olivia's identity to keep her other life a secret.

4. Acting on Regan's tip, Joanna/Olivia heads to Master Comics and she meets Jasmine, Zane, and Carl. There she discovers they are what sort of creatures?

From Quiz Taste Of Night

Answer: Changelings

When Joaquin appears at Master Comics, Jasmine morphs into a "gumby" like shape to hide Joanna/Olivia's identity. It turns out that all the kids at the comic store are changelings, beings that exist to protect the agents' identities on neutral ground by covering them with their auras. Joanna also discovers that without the changelings and their belief in both sides of the Zodiac, the agents would not exist. Each is free to choose a side and Jasmine is of the Light. Joanna/Olivia uses this protection to appear to her first love, Ben Traina, as herself.

5. Xavier Archer, the man Joanna has always thought to be her father, owns what Las Vegas hotel and casino?

From Quiz Scent of Shadows

Answer: Valhalla

Valhalla's restaurant is where Joanna and Ajax have their date that ends in his attack on her. Xavier Archer, who owns Valhalla, is also the man Joanna thought to be her father for her entire life. She finds out soon that this is not the case and Xavier cuts her off from inheriting anything from his estate.

6. Carl draws the manuals with the battles between Shadow and Light, but who documents the storylines?

From Quiz Taste Of Night

Answer: Zane

Carl and Zane have some sort of psychic ability that allows them to see the battles between Light and Shadow. Zane writes down the story lines and then Carl draws the scenes themselves. Without their work Joanna/Olivia is told that both sides would not exist. Theirs is a sacred charge that must be passed down through the generations so that the battles are always recorded.

7. Each Zodiac Troop has a number; what is the Las Vegas' troop number?

From Quiz Scent of Shadows

Answer: 175

Warren and other agents of the light seem to enjoy announcing their membership to Las Vegas Troop 175 throughout Joanna's adventures.

8. Who was the Shadow that Joanna spared?

From Quiz The Taste of Night

9. In the Light's sanctuary, Joanna/Olivia has trouble opening her locker and is told to give it something. After a couple of tries what does she finally give the locker to open it?

From Quiz Taste Of Night

Answer: A letter to Ben

This isn't the first time Joanna/Olivia has had trouble opening her locker and it frustrates her to no end. Marlo, a light initiate, suggests she try giving something of herself and explains that sometimes you have to work to get the lockers to open. Her first two offerings, a memo about how sexy Hunter is and another with an expletive, are rejected by the locker. It is only when she opens up and writes a letter to Ben Trainer, her first love, describing her feelings towards him and how much she misses him that the locker opens. Inside she finds a ring that her mother left behind that later becomes crucial to her survival.

10. After she is attacked by another member of the Shadow Zodiac, Butch, Joanna must assume whose identity?

From Quiz Scent of Shadows

Answer: Oliva

Butch attacks Joanna at her sister Olivia's apartment. While trying to kill Joanna, he throws Olivia out a window to fall to her death. This gives her the anger and ability to turn Butch's conduit on himself and kill him. Joanna is essentially trapped into faking her own death and assuming Olivia's identity after Warren explains that she is the most likely suspect in her sister's murder. This allows Joanna/Olivia to stay close to Xavier and the Tulpa who she discovers is closely tied with the man she once thought her father.

11. Who is the Light Zodiac's Weapons Master?

From Quiz The Taste of Night

Answer: Hunter

Hunter gave Joanna the mask to hide her shadow side when entering and leaving the Silver Slipper.

12. Joanna/Olivia and the Shadow agents are immune to the virus they release, but who else is?

From Quiz Taste Of Night

Answer: Hunter

Regan passes the immunity to the virus onto Joanna/Olivia at their first meeting, an immunity that she passes onto Hunter later that evening. Once the virus is released they can still be carriers but with the antidote already in their systems they won't die from it like everyone else. Unfortunately, neither Joanna or Hunter is aware of this until it is too late.

13. After assuming Olivia's identity, Joanna learns that she is to become which sign within the Light's Zodiac?

From Quiz Scent of Shadows

Answer: Archer

Warren reveals to Joanna/Olivia that she is the result of her mother's infiltration into the Shadow organization and the Tulpa's life. This makes her both Shadow and Light and creates suspicion around her from the first time she enters the Light's sanctuary. It is there that learns her mother was the Archer and that she now is to take her place and usurp Chandra.

14. What is the name of Joanna's daughter?

From Quiz The Taste of Night

Answer: Ashley

Joanna thought Ashley was born of Joaquin's rape, but discovers that she is of Ben's love.

15. The virus set loose by the Shadow agents seems to follow no pattern, affecting all sorts of people. How is it being transfered or passed between people?

From Quiz Taste Of Night

Answer: Anything sexual - kissing, sex, touching

This was sort of a trick question. The initial release of the virus occurs during the fireworks show at Valhalla, the one Joanna/Olivia watches from the entrance to the Light sanctuary. The question is how did it get passed on from then....and that's by anything sexual in nature. The marks the virus leaves on its victims center on the mouths, hands, and genitals showing that simple touching can transfer the virus. It's when feelings of lust begin that the virus takes hold. Unfortunately, the Light doesn't figure this out soon enough to save one of their own.

16. The battles between the Shadow and Light are recorded in manuals, or comic books, at what comic book store?

From Quiz Scent of Shadows

Answer: Master Comics

Joanna/Olivia is sent to Master Comics to learn about her troop's history and just what her new life will entail. The Shadow and Light comics are only readable by their respective subjects and Joanna/Olivia is the only agent that read both sides' stories. It is with this that she hopes to bring down the Shadow Agents.

17. Who is Joanna's father?

From Quiz The Taste of Night

Answer: Tulpa

The Tulpa is the Leader of the Shadows.

18. After Joanna/Olivia rejects his drunken advances, who does Hunter infect while trying to make Joanna/Olivia jealous?

From Quiz Taste Of Night

Answer: Marlo

The virus is first released during the fireworks show at Valhalla, the one Joanna/Olivia watches from her perch outside the sanctuary. Though she is immune she carries the virus back inside infecting her fellow light agents, where the virus waits to be activated. When Joanna/Olivia rejects Hunter she finds him making out with Marlo, a light initiate who will soon reach her third cycle and claim her sign. Their make-out session leads to Marlo's untimely death, Joanna/Olivia's understanding of how the virus works, and her expulsion from the troop's sanctuary. Hunter later follows Joanna/Olivia because he couldn't' face the guilt of what his jealousy had caused.

19. What happens to Joanna when she kills Butch at Olivia's apartment?

From Quiz Scent of Shadows

Answer: She gains the aureole

We learn that when an agent uses another's conduit, or weapon, to kill them that he or she gains the aureole. By turning their own weapon against them, one can gain the ability to walk the earth invisible - without scent or any way to track them. Joanna/Olivia uses this advantage more than once.

20. How was the Virus initially spread?

From Quiz The Taste of Night

Answer: Airborne

The Virus was spread in the air with the Fireworks Celebration.

21. Who draws the comics that Joanna/Olivia and others get from Master Comics?

From Quiz Scent of Shadows

Answer: Carl

Through their own psychic abilities, Carl and Zane are able to create the comics that detail the battles between Shadow and Light. Though Zane writes out the story lines, Carl is one who actually draws out the scenes.

22. How is the Virus engaged?

From Quiz The Taste of Night

Answer: Sexually

The Virus is activated through sexual actions, causing the victim to internally combust.

23. Joanna/Olivia once again infiltrates the Shadows' lair with Hunter's help and comes face to face with the Tulpa. What does he offer her during their conversation?

From Quiz Taste Of Night

Answer: More power than Warren could ever show her

The first time Joanna/Olivia and the Tulpa meet, he offers her anything she wants. Joanna asks for her innocence, her mother, her life back and he offers a new life. She laughs in his face the first time so you'd think he would know better by now. Yet he does offer her all those things and more, the chance to get the antidote and to save the city. The only catch is that she must beat Joaquin to Ian in order to win the antidote.

24. Besides being the Archer, what other mythological figure is Joanna/Olivia to the Light and Dark agents of the Zodiac?

From Quiz Scent of Shadows

Answer: Kairos

The Kairos is a legend to both sides before Joanna/Olivia comes along. It's said that a person will be born with equal parts Light and Dark with the two constantly waring within them. This duel nature means that they won't have to bend to destiny and will have the ability to freely choose what path they walk. This person will also be able to choose their allies, unbalancing the sides that were once equally matched. Their enemies would then be defeated through their strength. It is the discovery of this unique person, Joanna/Olivia, that marks the first sign of the zodiac and one side's (whether dark or light we have yet to discern) supremacy.

25. What does the Tulpa want Joanna to call him?

From Quiz The Taste of Night

Answer: Pa

He asks her to call him Pa. He wants her to join the Shadows so he can destroy the Light Zodiac.

26. Who brutally raped, beat, and left Joanna to die in the desert when she was just a teenager?

From Quiz Scent of Shadows

Answer: Joaquin

Joaquin committed the grievous crime that almost killed Joanna/Olivia as a teenager. It is this act, however, that comes to define her and give her strength. After her recovery, she hones her body into a weapon, determined to one day get revenge on the man who destroyed her innocence. We find out later that the Tulpa, Joanna's own father, ordered the attack in retaliation against her mother Zoe who infiltrated the Shadow's Organization. He claims not to have known that she was his daughter when they finally talk.

27. Joaquin also murdered Tekla's son. What was his name?

From Quiz Scent of Shadows

Answer: Stryker

As a Shadow agent Joaquin has done more horrible things than even this author can probably come up with. Tekla, the light's Scorpio sign and seer, is seemingly driven mad by his murder of her son Stryker. It was during a ritual to pass on her sign to her son that Joaquin stuck. Following the attack Tekla first prophesied that there was a traitor in the light. She is thought to be quite mad but we find out later that not all is as it seems....

28. The Tulpa informs Joanna/Olivia that she can no longer do something. What?

From Quiz Taste Of Night

Answer: Leave the Las Vegas Valley

Once Joanna/Olivia wins the race to Ian, the Tulpa insists on delivering the antidote in person. During the exchange, he tells her yet another thing thing Warren hasn't mentioned, that she is no longer able to leave their valley; she is trapped there by her powers.
