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.

Love a damsel in distress who rescues herself. Love love a love interest and would-be rescue team who roll with it. Plus bonus tribbles.

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

Okay and look I’m not saying “Crepusculus” is a bad name for one half of a buddy cop/ghost detective/hunter/“remedial psychopomp” duo, in fact it’s a brilliant name, I’m just saying it could been such a better name for someone involved in the dawn as well as the dusk of life.

Review of 'Dreadful company' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

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".
