View our feature on Rob Thurman’s Trick of the Light.When Trixa learns of a powerful artifact known as the Light of Life, she knows she’s hit the jackpot. Both sides—angel and demon—would give anything for it. But first she has to find it. And as Heaven and Hell ready for an apocalyptic throwdown, Trixa must decide where her true loyalty lies, and what she’s ready to fight for. Because in her world, if you line up on the wrong side, you pay with more than your life…
I like twists as much as the next reader but feeling like the main character was lying inside her own private thoughts for the duration of the book was irritating. I was enjoying the book well enough until the end and the big reveal. It just felt like I'd been lied to with everyone else and readers want to be in the know.
Sure, there are telepaths and empaths in Trixa's world and she has to keep her true thoughts close, but really, in her head she just didn't think anything at all about what she really believed? I don't buy it.
