4.0

THE VAN HELSING INCURSION is currently the last book in The Clara Grey Adventures series. It is evident that Evelyn Chartres has left possibilities for additional escapades.

It is possible that readers may see in this, and the previous books, a degree of heresy that they might find distasteful. Others will see THE VAN HELSING INCURSION as an expansion of religion into its rightful realm of speculative fiction.

Clara Grey died, was accepted in heaven, and subsequently returned to earth. Her commitment to saving humans and killing monsters never wavers. Her more personal exploits, which leave little to the imagination, are a bit less religious.

I would be remiss if I did not mention that the three books in the series suffer from spellcheckitis. There are quite a few word errors that a spellchecker would not flag. Most of the time, these are easy to mentally correct, so the mistakes don't detract too much from the story. I would definitely recommend that the author send her book to a good beta reader AFTER her editor is finished doing her thing.
