Operation Vampire
Mick Murphy’s an Irish half-elf from Manhattan. His best buddy, Dave, is a dwarf from Brooklyn. Along with a company of misfits, screwballs and, well, trolls from the pit, they’ll take on anything Austro-Hungaro-Roumania, or even Hell, cares to throw at them.
Assigned to King Company—the reconnaissance company—of the 134th Infantry Regiment in November of 1944, they’re the regimental reserve, the Colonel’s bodyguard, the military police, and general rock-straighteners. But once in a while, when the gremlins stop hexing their Jeeps, they go out and poke around to find out where the Enemy is and what he’s up to.
They’re very good at finding and dealing with all the vampires, werewolves, and sky demons the Enemy can throw at them. Unfortunately, though, behind them are the Big Boys, deep down in a pit of their own, and the War won’t end until G.I.s plant their boots on the Devil’s throne and kick him out.
Working their way up to this biggest of D-Days—the assault on Hell, itself—is going to tax the United States Army to its utmost…but the dogfaces on the Line are one step ahead of the brass, because they’re already halfway to Hell.

An enjoyable book about a World War being fought between elves, humans, Germans, Americans, dwarves, and vampires. There's a lot of World War 2 tropes even though there's no Nazis and I had a lot of fun reading the book.

Hard to think of it as a first book. Non-Stop action, good characterization, excellent pacing, top world-building.
Alternative universe from us, where feys are there, where, there is one evil empire supported by undead and confronting the rest of the world and where Sergeant Murphy, a half-elf, is in charge of a recn company. Yes, you read me right, a sergeant in charge of a company. Shows how rough the going went before the stories begin.
So we are in the Alps, Sgt Murphy and his troop are tasked with scouting a location and well... read the book! :)
I really had a blast discovering the universe. As I progressed in the book I enjoyed the many twists of the story!
Really looking for the 2d installment of this series, as it all ends up in a cliffhanger in a quite unhospitable place.
