About this listen
'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.

I love all the characters in these books. They’re all just normal people, even though they’re vampires, vampyres, angels, demons, or even Lucifer. Greta is just a normal doctor, despite treating all kinds of supernatural patients. They’re so well written, with proper dimensions and detail, and ordinary character flaws as well as their extraordinary talents or powers, that they feel entirely real, and these four fantastic books gift you with lthe chance to be a part of their friendship group for a little while.
I pre-ordered this and was eagerly waiting for it to land in my library on release day, then listened to it all in one go (one thing I appreciate about audiobooks is not having to stop reading while I’m out or doing things like washing up, which can be… awkward with actual books). I was immediately absorbed into Greta Helsing’s world and loved it. I felt her frustrations and reliefs and joys. Now that I’ve finished the book I really miss them all. It’s like having a little holiday with good friends you don’t see often and being sad when you have to go home.
The narrator, for a change, is actually perfect for the series. She brings the characters to vivid (un-)life, without doing any dodgy voices, and manages to convey appropriate emotions without sounding overwrought (a rare skill unfortunately). She sounds like she’s actually bothered to read the book beforehand rather than just turning up on the day and starting from cold, and she keeps her weird pronunciations to a minimum… ;)
So, yeah, I hugely enjoyed this book and you should buy it. I’m off to listen to the whole series again from the beginning.
I miss them already :(
