Length: 7 hrs and 55 mins

Publisher's summary

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.

Great Ilona Andrews story

If you liked On the Edge or Kate Daniels, you'll like this too. more like on the Edge, with portals to different worlds,

great book. u need to read it!!

love the book. I can't wait to listen to the next one. is listening and it's clean.

Short but Good

Enjoyed the characters and the story. Narrator did an excellent job. Now ready for ‘Sweep In Peace’.

Similar universe to Kate Daniels, circa 2014, decent fluff

But that’s about it. I feel like they waited til the last two hours to get really into the story with the action and the love triangle and the world building was so so. Also, off planet (portal) travel to a different world as a quick trip? Come on, that could have been a blast to read. Overall, fun fluff while cooking.

Fun story, off putting narration

I liked the story. The world was deep and alive. Things had happened to our MC, she had history that came up, but none of it felt like “I missed something.”
The world had a lot of history too. At first the different names for planets/races/things was a struggle, but the more they were used the easier things got.
The storyline itself was fun and engaging. Every plot point well developed, and no obvious holes.
My main qualm was the narration. The MC was 25 years old but the narrator sounded 70. It was really weird when the romance scenes were happening and in my head this 28yo man is getting hot and bothered by a granny. I mean…everyone deserves love but… yeah… it was weird.

Fantastic as always

Seriously, Ilona Andrews’ books are just so good. How can a book with this name be as good as it is. Running to get book 2.

Awesome

Great book and great reader. Not too heavy, nice relaxing experience. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

Innkeeper Series

The series is really quite Captivating. I love Renee Ruadman. It was a little hard to where the same voice as those characters in Kate Daniel's world but know the represented a whole different cast of characters. For the whole of audio narration. I personally don't care for more than one narrator for a series and certainly not in a single book. If there must be more than on narrator as the Chapters swap back and forth between the perspective of 2 different characters, at least have one voice for the character represented. In other words, if a book has Bob and Sue as the main characters from whose perspective the story is told, then let Sue always be spoken by the Sue narrokor regardless of perspective, etc. If a series has a different narrator for different books in a series rather than one single narrator for the whole series, it would be better to ensure they at least pronounce all the character names the same between one book and the next. For example, in the Innkeeps, until book 5, it was pronounced - Vilmosh. But book 5, he was suddenly - Wilmose. Not haven read the series, only listened, I don't know which is correct and honestly it doesn't matter, it should just be consistent. other wise, I Love them all.

Loved the story!

I loved the story! And I love Dina!
The narrator fits the part perfectly! Just a hint of a southern accent and more gentle tones!
Love the idea of a magical Inn! And the developing relationships…that continue through the series….. I’m on to the next one!

Clean sweep is fun and funny

Humor is mixed with action and aliens - the perfect cocktail.
The innkeeper universe is detailed and creative but it’s the very human dialogue that makes this series most fun.
