One Fell Sweep by Ilona Andrews

Innkeeper Chronicles, Book 3

Synopsis: Gertrude Hunt, the nicest Bed and Breakfast in Red Deer, Texas, is glad to have you. We cater to particular kind of guests, the ones most people don’t know about. The older lady sipping her Mello Yello is called Caldenia, although she prefers Your Grace. She has a sizable bounty on her head, so if you hear kinetic or laser fire, try not to stand close to the target. Our chef is a Quillonian. The claws are a little unsettling, but he is a consummate professional and truly is the best chef in the Galaxy. If you see a dark shadow in the orchard late at night, don’t worry. Someone is patrolling the grounds. Do beware of our dog.

Your safety and comfort is our first priority. The inn and your host, Dina Demille, will defend you at all costs. We ask only that you mind other guests and conduct yourself in a polite manner.

Review: How to resist a new Ilona Andrews novel? Is that even possible? So I threw myself full of impatience into this new story.

We find Dina facing a new problem that deserves her immediate attention. Indeed her sister managed to send her a message of distress asking for help. Armed with her allies, our host does not hesitate to embark on a mission to rescue her sister and niece whom she has not seen for years. Meanwhile, an endangered species asks for asylum in Dina’s inn but accepting them would also bring a lot of problems. Indeed, these beings are driven out by others who believe that killing them will allow them to reach paradise. And they are willing to do anything to achieve their goals. But then, helping them find a place where they can repopulate can also allow Dina to have new clues regarding the disappearance of her parents.

Reuniting with her sister and niece for her delight and allying herself with other characters, Dina has a lot of things to manage, if only because of the relentless attacks on Gertrude Hunt, her house, But she’ll also have to decide what she wants to do with Sean. Yes it was a very good novel once again and it allows us to learn a little more about the universe of the authors. It’s always a treat to follow Dina and see all the characters we love. I was also touched by certain passages that I will let you discover for yourself!

It was again a very nice surprise anyway and I recommend the series if you want something different that takes you into an amazing world!
