A gun carrying werewolf hunter who happens to be a nun (and has her own secret!)?! Sign me up!In reality this was disappointing. I think the format didn't work. This is told in 3 parts. The 1st part is told in 1st person, but with several viewpoints. Each chapter is a different viewpoint- but no cha...

And to top it off, the protagonist is a woman of unquenchable will and determination.Irish nun, Sister Eil...
So a nun with Colt gun, a gambler and a werewolf sat down at a table on steamboat.No, it's not the start of a joke; it actually happens in this book.
