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.

this book did not have world-wide emergency travel, but took place at home in London, and had a comfortable, complete ending. I liked all of the characters. I have read the other books in the series and they are great, but this will be my favorite.

My Favorite

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!

A happy surprise!

This is my third listen from this author. She tells stories of vampires, werewolves, and other magical beings in fresh and engaging ways. This is a fun break if you’ve had too many depressing books lately.

Delightful fairy tale feel

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!

The story exudes an understated brilliance, captivating one with a quiet elegance and depth. It dazzles without the need for shock, relying on graceful prose of love, compassion and empathy to leave a lasting impression.

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!

Oh wow! She did it again!

If you like stories about Vampires, this was thought provoking with good character development.
I liked the way the characters interacted with each other and cared about the vampire child, agreed with others that the story ended abruptly.
Overall for a short story it was very enjoyable.

Great characters!

marvelous integration of new and old vampire's stories. the book was too short and does seem to be a "bridge" for whatever this superb author is working on now.

delightful but too short story following up from her last book.
