Convent of the Pure's elevator pitch (or at least what I assume it's elevator pitch would be) seems like little more than a bunch of popular genre elements all tossed into the same pot: "In a steampunk world, a half-angel demon hunter and her ghostly lover must fight against corruption and betrayal."

How evil can one get? Take over an orphanage and place the children in suspended animation tanks which, when wired together, can produce an even greater evil power. That’s what the hero, Portia, walks into with her sidekick and ghostly lover, Imogen, in this steampunkish world. This book has a good quick moving plot.
