First of a new, action packed urban fantasy series, Thurman introduces Trixa Iktomi, a Las Vegas bar owner and information vender on the seeder side of town who enjoys demon hunting with Zeke and Griffin. Recruited into Eden House, an ancient organization implemented to fight fallen angels also known as demons, Zeke was a telepath capable of seeing the world only in terms of black or white. Together since circumstances placed them in the same foster home, Griffin a powerful empath protected Zeke from those who failed to appreciate his knee jerk responses. Trixa wasn’t supposed know about demons much less accompany Zeke and Griffin on their hunts.
When a hunt goes wrong, Eden House learns of the breach in protocol. Trinity, head of the Vegas Eden House presses Trixa to locate the Light of Life, an artifact with immense power. Naturally, there are plenty of demons just as interested in procuring the Light which places Trixa in the middle of a contest between Heaven and Hell. What none of the angels, fallen or otherwise failed to appreciate was that Trixa had her own compelling reasons for wanting the Light and would stop at nothing to achieve that goal. In a fast paced game of hide and seek, information has a price and none of the players are what they seem.
This inventive new series is builds on the alternative world built in Nightlife with the involvement of Robin Goodfellow, an amorous puck with a knack for trouble. Trixa comes off as a strong willed heroine with a long-standing ax to grind yet that is only one facet of her character. The plot is suitably complex with enough clue dropping along the way to point attentive readers toward Trixa’s true nature while still packing plenty of surprises.
