SOLVED. YA Fantasy: 1 or 2 monster hunter men UK, Christian themes. Read 2014-2016. Spoilers. [s]

[Valerie]

(spoilers) set in UK city, possibly London, in a post apocalyptic-type world. Monsters roam the streets, there are people whose job is to hunt them. the twist is that the monsters were conjured from the general publics minds as thought forms or tulpa type entities that emerged when the Christian god was disproved by science. without a God to believe in, the people blamed their problems on imaginary demon-like monsters that were then willed into existence.
1 or 2 men are hunters and they meet a girl in a white dress? she has a tattoo on her lower back.
read in a november 2014-2016, was relatively newly released at the time. found in my local library's new releases section for halloween - scary/suspensful stories from contemporary writers. genre was fantasy with some science fiction/horror/mystery elements
The cover was brown/orange hues, probably a generic image of a city. the girl character's name started with an A and was a longer name and was possibly in the title. A__'s ___ possibly?

Do you think it was by a Christian publisher?

[Valerie]

The philosophy felt very atheist and apathetic toward Christian ideas, so probably not.
