Contemporary fantasy in the world of Strange Practice, starring Dr. Greta Helsing, whose family has been keeping the supernatural community not-alive and well for generations. When Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, is unexpectedly called to Paris to present at a medical conference, she expects nothing more exciting than professional discourse on zombie reconstructive surgery and skin disease in bogeymen -- and hopefully at least one uneventful night at the Opera. Unfortunately for Greta, Paris happens to be infested with a coven of vampires -- and not the civilized kind.

TW for kidnapping, imprisonment, and pretending everything is fine when a leader’s behavior is completely unhinged.

Review of 'Dreadful company' on 'Goodreads'

Another lovely book in a series that I'm starting to appreciate a lot. Sparkly vampires, a werewolf, and the return of Fas. I like what's happening with Varney, and I think he's becoming my favorite character.
My favorite addition to the cast, and new English word, most be the two "remedial psychopomps".
