Clean Sweep

By Ilona Andrews

Book Overview

On the outside, Dina Demille is the epitome of normal. She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast. But Dina is...different: Her broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can't leave the grounds because she's responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight. Under the circumstances, "normal" is a bit of a stretch for Dina.

And now, something with wicked claws and deepwater teeth has begun to hunt at night...Feeling responsible for her neighbors, Dina decides to get involved. Before long, she has to juggle dealing with the annoyingly attractive, ex-military, new neighbor, Sean Evans-an alpha-strain werewolf-and the equally arresting cosmic vampire soldier, Arland, while trying to keep her inn and its guests safe. But the enemy she's facing is unlike anything she's ever encountered before. It's smart, vicious, and lethal, and putting herself between this creature and her neighbors might just cost her everything.

Customer Reviews

Great worldbuilding.

Forget everything you know about vampires and werewolves in these novels, they are actually interstellar aliens traveling to and from Earth using it as a waystation. Dina runs an magical inn in Texas that as a rough description is like a cross between Casita from Encanto and the Tardis from Doctor Who with its ability to follow directions from the inkeeper and create rooms to a guests taste by magic and defies the laws of physics. This series is fantastic, it picks up more as the series goes on. It's not as good as the Kate Daniels series but it is still better than most run of the mill fantasy/ sci-fi and isn't dry.
