Review of HARD LESSONS by Vanessa Knipe (see her website)MORE TALES FROM THE THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE OF ST. VAN HELSINGBooksForABuck.com, December 2009
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 (see more BooksForABuck.com reviews of fantasy by Knipe) continues her stories out of St. Van Helsing (after 2008's 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. Four Stars Reviewed 12/14/09
