Publisher's summary

A witty, charming standalone novella starring Greta Helsing, doctor to the undead, who must get to the bottom of a mystery involving a newly turned child vampire.

A barrow-wight shows up on Greta and Varney’s doorstep one night with 11-year-old Lucy Ashton who’s been newly—and forcefully—bitten and turned. Who did this to her, and why? With the help of her vampiric friends, Greta is determined to find out.

A happy surprise!

Was thrilled to listen to this novella from Ms. Shaw. After the last book of the series I was afraid that it was a goodbye to all of the curious and wonderful characters that I’d finally gotten to know and understand by the third book. Highly recommend that you start with the first of this series—while Bitter Waters is a great stand-alone, some important character elements will be missed without critical backstory provided in the preceding novels. It is perfectly narrated. Highly recommend this series— please check it out!

Back to the Wonderful Banter

As always, this series and these characters are some of my absolute favorites! I love the banter amongst the undead characters and would love to have a full update on the Lucy in the next one. Fingers crossed for a next one!

Oh wow! She did it again!

I have enjoyed all from this author, but I have to say she's outdone herself. This was such a good story. Well read. Engaging. I am looking forward to the next. Please write faster!

Looking Forward to More!

So excited to see this series continue. Loved the last ones and the idea behind the world. Combine that with good storytelling and great narration you get what I consider a good “read”. (Sorry. Not into giving any kind of spoilers in my reviews)

Lovely Novella

Listening to a Greta Van Helsing book is like visiting old friends. Vivian Shaw is a fantastic author and the narrator though different from the novels is fabulous.

Absolutely delightful!!

What a perfect little book! I was a little worried that the main plot point of a little girl being turned vampire would be too heavy. But it was handled really well, and the overall feel of this book is one of love and comfort. I was so happy to revisit these beloved characters, and was not disappointed one bit by this book. Except that it was too short! LOL.

Also pleased that this new narrator (different from the original trilogy) was just as good!

A thoroughly delightful listening experience, all around!

Love this series

Great addition to the series. Can’t wait for more! The narration was excellent and only thing that I would change is that I wish it had been longer.
