Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw


Meet Greta Helsing, fast-talking doctor to the undead. Keeping the supernatural community not-alive and well in London has been her family's specialty for generations. Greta Helsing inherited the family's highly specialized, and highly peculiar, medical practice. In her consulting rooms, Dr. Helsing treats the undead for a host of ills - vocal strain in banshees, arthritis in barrow-wights, and entropy in mummies. Although barely making ends meet, this is just the quiet, supernatural-adjacent life Greta's been groomed for since childhood.
Until a sect of murderous monks emerges, killing human and undead Londoners alike. As terror takes hold of the city, Greta must use her unusual skills to stop the cult if she hopes to save her practice, and her life.

This book was delightful.  It was a completely different view on the supernatural realm. Who is going to to treat sicknesses in the supernatural world? Dr. Greta Helsing, and she takes her practice very seriously. The book is charming. It is so unique! There is a mystery and even a dark cultist murder, but there is also humor and several sweet moments in the book. Romance does not really enter this book. there is a bit of a casual interest, but it is casual interest at best.  This book's characters have issues, each have things that need focusing on and none have the time to deal with romantic affairs at the moment, I mean crazy cultists are trying to kill them.  If you are looking for a twist on the normal version of the paranormal this is a great book. I highly recommend the book. The characters are endearing and you may even decide you want a ghoul family to move into your basement!

4.5 out of 5 stars for Strange Practice
5 out of 5 stars for the audio book
