England may look like a peaceful island, but it swarms with ancient
forces: old gods hungry for a touch of worship; mysterious spectres
that can grant wishes, no matter how destructive those wishes might
be; pre-historic cultural memories that can raise hungry spirits;
and then there's the mysterious haunted washing machine unhappy
with the new detergents. To combat evil forces, the Church of
England calls on a special breed of men (yes, they're all men--and
that is part of the problem). The Theological College of St. Van
Helsing trains its students to combat evil forces--except when
those students go renegade and fight their fellows. With St. Van
Helsing restricted to men only, women with talent lack a place for
proper training, which makes them both dangerous and tempting
targets for dark forces. Penny Bailey finds herself confronting a
hungry fertility god, a misdirected love-spell and the horrors of
the perfect diet. Author Vanessa Knipe continues her stories out of
St. Van Helsing (after WITCH-FINDER) with another strong series of
adventures. Knipe writes with a compelling mix of darkness and
tongue-in-cheek humor. While theological students confronting evil
by calling phrases from the Book of Common Prayer sounds amusing,
Knipe makes it both real and dangerous. More so even than in
WITCH-FINDER, darkness underpins these stories--the title, HARD
LESSONS is definitely hard-earned.
