Heaven Goes to War with Heaven and Mummies try not to fall apart

Grave Importance by Vivian Shaw

April 3, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I’d kind of been putting off reading Grave Importance because it’s the conclusion of a series I’ve enjoyed. This was a good ending to the series, and I’m sad it’s over, but at the same time there are a few things I wish had gotten a little more attention. The basic story has two lines that of course merge part way through; first there’s Greta’s in which she takes over a really fancy mummy clinic for a friend for a few months and naturally discovers […]

Dreadful in name only

Dreadful Company by Vivian Shaw

June 22, 2019 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Yay for new kinda favorite series! The thing for me that distinguishes a favorite from something enjoyable is how re-readable a book is. While I was waiting for the second book to get to my mailbox, I reread the first, and it was as much fun as the first time. After reading Dreadful Company (book 2), I started rereading it about a week later. Still fun. Dreadful Company features many of the same characters from the first novel including Dr. Greta Helsing, physician to things […]
