"Vivian Shaw knocks it out of the park yet again. If you aren’t reading Dr. Greta Helsing, you’re missing out." —T. Kingfisher, New York Times bestselling author of What Moves the Dead
"Deeply compassionate and endlessly surprising, this series will steal your heart." —Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief
In this witty conclusion to a delightful fantasy series finds Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, facing the latest and strangest challenge of her career...accompanying an anxious angel and a sullen demon on a road trip across America.
 
After narrowly avoiding the end of the world, the leaders of Heaven and Hell are struggling to collaborate according to the terms of their new treaty—especially because angels and demons are, quite literally, allergic to each other. Seeking a solution, the powers that be decide to see if the allergy persists on Earth by sending an angel and demon on a research trip, first stop: New York City. And what better chaperone than Dr. Greta Helsing, who happens to owe Hell a few favors of her own?
 
But there’s unrest in New York’s monster underworld and Greta and her team are about to land in the middle of it. Something is off in Heaven and on Earth, and Greta will have to figure out just what that is if she hopes to protect those she loves most.

      The end of the world has been avoided, and Heaven and Hell try to find their way with the new accords signed by their leaders. One big problem is that angels and demons are literally allergic to each other in their respective realms, so attempts to assist and rebuild are being thwarted by unwell beings. The idea to test this allergy in a neutral place--on Earth--is decided upon, and so begins a research trip across the United States with an apprehensive angel, a grumpy demon, and Doctor Greta Helsing as chaperone. Greta knows she owes Hell a few favors, so she begrudgingly agrees to help, arriving in New York City to begin their trip. However, there have been some strange happenings in the monster world, and Greta's group finds themselves at the center of a harmful situation, one that involves not only some beings on Earth but possibly agents of Heaven itself. VERDICT Quickly paced with engaging characters, the final volume of Shaw's quartet (after Grave Importance) brings to close a unique supernatural series focused on medical care for otherworldly beings.--Kristi Chadwick

      Shaw's new Greta Helsing novel (continuing the world and cast of characters introduced in Dreadful Company, 2018), features a world post-Accords in which demons and angels have agreed to cancel the apocalypse and peacefully coexist or even work together. But not everyone is happy with the arrangement. And even as Dr. Helsing and her vampiric partner set off on an experimental trip with young demon Orlax and angel Adariel, a religious cult is rising up in New York City, threatening the lives of local monsters and even the peace of the recent Accords. This witty novel is perfect for fans of Good Omens, complete with an ironic, fun take on demons, angels, and everything in between. Sometimes the action of the plot takes second stage to the character-driven political and personal developments, but readers won't be disappointed, as the protagonists themselves are fascinating and complex, and the world is well built. It's a charming series that will likely please fans but that isn't too difficult to dive into as a new reader.
