Hi I'm Mat, what I want to ask is, my "Scent of Shadows" book seems to be missing the word "You" on the back where it asks are you light? Or are you Shadow? Instead it's just ... (Are Light? etc.) so I guess I was wondering whether this was intentional?? Or have I managed to buy the one book that has an error?? If so that’s awesome haha.

Hi Mat, Hm - I don't see any of that text on my SoS copies. Are you sure it's on SCENT? If so, no -- it's certainly not intentional! Very odd, though!

Yeah, my copy doesn't have that at all on it...Is there a difference in the British printing, or newer printings maybe?

Thank you three for commenting I felt so out of place writing that message, I just kept have paranoid thoughts like: am I doing it right??…what if people get angry at me. haha.
Anyway!!! Umm yes I’m positive it’s on SoS, every time I finished reading my few chapters for the day I would turn the book over and read that same text, thinking I had somehow after all the times of reading it, MISSED the word “You” lol. But I think I’m ready to accept that the word “You” is most definitely not there.
I’m thinking now.. because my book doesn’t have the same great cover I have seen on this site for SoS .. Instead it’s just an eye with a sphinx and a Welcome to Las Vegas sign reflecting back into what I can assume is Jo Jo’s eye. Would this make more sense as to why there’s a missing word?
Oh and I would like to add something... I wrote this a couple of days ago and sent it through some message doodad on this site but I don’t think it worked fortunately I saved it so I will send it now.. and hope i dont get in trouble for it because it's not a question and this is the Ask Vicki section.
Hi Ms. Pettersson, My name is Mat and I’m 17, I have recently found pleasure in reading, I started with something that I know everyone likes “Harry Potter” after finishing the first I began the second but not long into it i found your book, Postponing my reading of Harry Potter. Anyway, I hope this doesn’t offend in anyway but I found your book in a $5 book barrel at the supermarket, not thinking I would buy any I flicked through the first few pages of your book and had to buy it. 4 days on I have finished “The Scent Of Shadows” and decided to search the internet for more of your work, in doing so I found this page and was excited to see that I could message you. I would like to say I plan to buy the rest of the Zodiac series and really enjoyed reading your book.
Yours sincerely Mathesson.

Hmm the part about my book having a diffrent cover didin't come across clearly... what i mean is... Most people probably have the book with the model ( as Jo Jo ) and the deamon next to her... and what i was getting at is maybe it's only the books with the drawing of the Eye that has the missing word..
Sorry about that.

Hey Mat -- Oooh! That's the UK version. I'll have to go dig mine out and see what's what. Not that I don't believe you. Things happen ... but it didn't happen on my end. I'll let Voyager know.
And I'm not offended at all how you found the books. I'm not sure, but I don't think they're selling as well in the UK (and TBH, those covers may be the reason *shudder*) so I'm not surprised. I'm just happy you picked it up, gave it a chance, and are enjoying the series. Thank you for stopping by to say so!

Hi again, ooh I see... well I hope you'll let me know what you find!! If you would like a picture of my copy and the text on the back I have taken a snap of it but can't seem to work out how to post an image. I could send it to a email account though so let me know if you want me to do that.. (Y) <--- we use that to represent a *thumbs up motion* where I live lol

You're an Ausi Oley? Actually that's helpful since we do[/] have other members from there...it means we can get a confirmation on the printing error!
(See, I can get back on topic )
