Up to her neck in demons, on a search to find a powerful artifact and avenge a death, she has some help: two demon hunters that she's taken under her wing, Griffin and Zeke, who work for Heaven’s presence in Las Vegas, and her Native American bartender Leo Rain, who has some secrets of his own.

However, New York City and Las Vegas are quite different in terms of the supernatural element, and the main characters in the Cal Leandros series are not even aware of the existence of angels and demons.

Publishers Weekly noted that though Trick of the Light does not break new ground, it should be a pleasant, comforting read for fans of urban fantasy.
