Ten years later Phyllis’ past has come to her as she’s asked by her former boss Victor to carry out one final kill and Phyllis will have to make a choice. The summary of Trouble the Saints promises a Night Circus-esque story about Phyllis LeBlanc, a former assassin with saints hands that have given her a gift with throwing knives. This is why it took me almost a month to finish this book. I tried hard to like this book and to finish it in a reasonable amount of time, but when you can’t get into the story and have trouble understanding what kind of story you’re supposed to be reading it can be tricky. “…white people were stultifyingly predictable if they could not steal it, they would kill it, but they would never, ever let a colored person have it,” (Johnson 129). I received an ARC of this book from the publishers in exchange for an honest review.
