What to expect
When Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, is called to Paris to present at a medical conference, she expects nothing more exciting than professional discourse on zombie reconstructive surgery.
Unfortunately for Greta, Paris happens to be infested with a coven of vampires - and not the civilised kind. If she hopes to survive, Greta must navigate the maze of ancient catacombs beneath the streets, where there is more to find than simply dead men's bones.

Critics Review
I loved every page of it . . . a spectacularly fun book
Shaw’s elegant writing makes this series a standout in the genre
I loved revisiting Greta’a world
A playfully witty confection spun from the setting of The Phantom of the Opera
This book is a joy to read, unlocking every bit of delicious promise in the premise
A darkly delicious adventure featuring a quirky new heroine. Strange Practice breathes new life into the undead
What a splendid adventure this is – Dr Greta Helsing is a brilliant character . . . The underlying mystery is nicely twisty, and Dr Helsing has a quirky coterie of undead friends to aid her on her quest . . . promises to be a splendid new urban fantasy series
Readers will look forward to more of Greta’s adventures. An imaginative, delightfully droll debut
The author has packed her book with characters who are a pleasure to spend time with
The book’s mix of humor, mystery, urban fantasy, and gothic horror ultimately struck all the right chords with me . . . I’m already looking forward to the next one
Vivian has taken all of the best elements (characters you really get to know and care about, sly sense of humour, clever references, some social commentary), allied them to an intriguing new story and along the way also nicely expanded the world Greta and her friend inhabit . . . an utterly delicious read
