Hello denizens,
˙˙˙˙ "Strange new world" by Vivian Shaw who has indicated that this
is the last book of the series in which Greta VanHelsing MD takes care
of supernatural characters including vampyres. Vampires, Nosferatu werewolves, angels, zombies and the rest who need her care.
˙˙˙˙In this book we are dealing with a time subsequent to the
Apocalype which was cancelled by YJVH as the Angels of Heaven
asked for the aid of the Demons of Hell when creations was
invaded by outsiders.˙ The war ended with ths signing of Accords
which seem to have been overly ideaiistic.˙ Lord Ruthven the
Draculician vampire and Sir Varney, Greta's husband are
involved as is the Voivode himself but to a much lesser degree.
˙˙˙˙The main settings are Heaven, Hell, the Cities of London
and New York.
˙˙˙˙Main characters include Raphael who runs the dispensary
in heaven, his new angel orderly Adariel, his counterpart in a
research scheme, the new demon Orlax, Gabriel who has gone
over the edge, Greta who worked in Hell repairing Angels in the
recent, apocalytic war. Dr.Faust in charge of Hellish medicine and
surgery, Fasticolon a demon who interacts with Greta on a
regular basis his supervisor Belial and old Samael the devil himself.
˙˙˙˙Assorted nosferatu and vampires, a werewolf, Uriel, some
humans mostly the dupes of ----.
˙˙˙˙This series by Vivian Shaw was quite enjoyable. I am
sorry she is ending the series but this a pretty fair ending.
˙˙˙˙If you are interested there are reviews online
and it seems to be available at the usual online sites
and if you can find a book store even there.
Of course I got mine at the SF Public Library - Main.

I wonder if the series was inspired by my cousin's InCryptid books.

˙˙˙˙I have read both and see no resemblance. Few of the tropes overlap. Greta is a single virgin might be the only one.˙ But she is a mature woman with metaphysical attraction for Varney.˙ There is no powerful organization attempting to wipe out the variant creatures though there are less powerful forces that are attempting to destroy creatures or Heaven and Hell.

˙˙˙˙I really was enchanted by the first˙ book and if you can afford
it with your fossil fuel gains then you will probably enjoy it yourself.

Cost is not a big problem with me but storage is a serious problem.
