So when exactly is Grave Importance coming out?!

Vivian Shaw has done it again. I'll admit, as excited as I was for this sequel, I was terrified it wouldn't hold a candle to the first. It seems like all sequels are prone to the "sophomore slump", but I couldn't be more pleased with how Dreadful Company turned out. New (well developed) characters blended seamlessly with the old. Two stories met perfectly, right in time for a fantastical turning point and falling action.

If Vivian Shaw ever feels like writing an 800 page adventure, I'm down for it.

OMG!!!! I love this book and this series it’s just absolute madness and sheer devilish fun. Loved every page and all the characters and cute lil critters (cute fuzzy monsters) seriously I went gooey over them. The romance is the most believable and yet understated I have come across in these books love love it. A definite must read for fans of Kim Newman and anyone who likes a bit of gothic tongue firmly in cheek 😜

The highest compliment I can pay a book/audiobook is that I commented out loud while reading, so when I thought for a second that The Worst Thing That Can Happen in This World was a possibility, I yelled. The evolution of the characters was really wonderful and I hope there's fanart out there for the epilogue. Book three please!
