lightreadsStrange Practice and Dreadful Company
3/5. Greta Helsing (yes, a relation) is a doctor to the supernatural in modern day London, and stuff happens.
Aw, it's cozy urban fantasy. You know, like a cozy mystery, but vampirier.
These are pleasant, kind books punctuated by occasional mild yikes at some well-placed villainy. I do think it is a screaming waste to set up a supernatural doctor and then write multiple plots in which she never goes to her clinic and we see almost nothing of what I'm pretty sure is an interesting day-to-day medical practice. But I did enjoy these, and particularly their manifest kindness. These are the sorts of books where our heroes take in and nurse someone who recently tried to kill the protagonist, not because we're supposed to think they are saints, but just because that's what you do.
