Siblings Aaron and Rosemary Harker hunt the monsters in 1913 United States. When an extended relative dies, they travel to investigate the Uncanny that killed him.

The best part of this book is our two main characters. They are both our Points of View, and the dynamic between them is fascinating. Aaron is neurodivergent (a quirk that Rosemary blames on on the Fey in their ancestors), and so his mind doesn’t run on the same track as Rosemary’s. In their hunts, they often unbalance each other and disagree. However, they are all the other one has, and so they stick together as a dynamic duo.

For Aaron, being a Huntsman is a privilege. He is good at it, and finds satisfaction there. He likes to use it as an excuse for not participating fully in society.
For Rosemary, being a Huntsman is a burden. She wants to participate in society. In another life, she could have been a suffragette, but her job taking care of the monsters always has to be her priority instead.

This push and pull between the siblings (in personality and motivation) was so fun. The more I got to know them, the more I enjoyed this book.

The book also nailed the stetting. The vocabulary and societal norms are suitably from 1913.

In the end, the plot was okay. The ending, though the mystery was wrapped up, felt more tragic than happy. It fit the dramatic and somber mood of the rest of the story.
