Strange New World
The spectacular conclusion to the Dr Greta Helsing series - prepare to be swept off your feet by this novel of mystery, medicine and arcane magic.
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
Strange New World finds Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, facing the strangest challenge of her career... accompanying an anxious angel and a sullen demon on a road trip across America in the clever conclusion to this delightful fantasy series.
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 favours 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.
