"A gal has to look out for herself after all." Clara Grey's parents once said that the world was a dark and dangerous place. There was more truth than fiction to those words. There were things that lurked in the shadows which defied the laws of nature: perversions that fed on the dead, terrorised the living, or escaped the chill touch of the grave. Clara is a member of the Tower, a religious order of hunters who work outside the confines of the Church. As keepers of the arcane, her order takes an active role to counter these threats. The life of a hunter can be short, and many go missing before completing their training. So, what does it take to succeed against all odds? Explore Clara's origin, a child born before the dawn of the twentieth century. Witness her rigorous training, how she faces adversity, and fights in the Great War to become the derringer wielding flapper she is. Throughout her tale, keep in mind that no matter the threat, a gal has to look out for herself after all.… (meer)

This book was a delight! Part historical fantasy, part detective story and supernatural thriller, we follow Clara from her humble origins (I seriously loved all the details of early 1900’s life) freezing her toes off and tiptoeing out to the outhouse in the morning to joining a religious order of hunters who take out evil paranormals. This work spans decades as we follow Clara across various hunting quests, many of which feel like Indiana Jones type adventures (the pyramid scene was a special favorite.) Wonderfully detailed world-building, a wide cast of monsters and vampires and other supernatural creatures, and bonus points for oh-so creative use of holy water in a certain scene!

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.
