I have not read any of the other books in this series so this was my first introduction into Greta Helsing's world, and it was a great introduction. There were several elements that I really like about this novella. From the moment I started reading, I was pulled into this world and was eager to return to it every time I had to put the book down. Even without reading the three previous novels, the characters and their relationships were written in such a way that I could feel how much of an accomplishment it was to get to this somewhat peaceful slice-of-life story. The characters were lovable without knowing their backstories because they were described so well that the character development was evident without knowing details. There is a tenderness to all the interactions that feels like they fought to get here.

I will absolutely be reading the other books in the world of Greta Helsing because now I want to know how all of these characters got here and who they were before I met them in this story.
