Dreadful Company is a great follow-up to Strange Practice. I liked Dreadful Company better, actually. Vivian Shaw enlarges the world of this urban fantasy not only geographically and with the number of characters and types of supernatural beings, but also in the emotional lives and connections, especially Greta and Varney. There is a romance that I was hoping for, and a surprise later in the book. The story led to some Bad Book Decisions at 2 AM, which is the best endorsement I can give. The narration by Suzannah Hampton is excellent and adds a layer to the novel. I am greatly looking forward to the third book.
