I adore Ilona Andrews’ works, regardless of series, as she never fails to keep me enthralled. But I highly recommend her Clean Sweep, the first in her Innkeeper Chronicles, that mixes elements of urban fantasy, science fiction, and a smidge of romance to keep things interesting.

Dina Demille is a multi-dimension, intergalactic innkeeper in the Texas hill country and she runs her magical inn that’s bigger on the inside than it looks with an intimidating broom. The world-building sucks you under in no time as Dina juggles an annoying alpha-strain werewolf ex-solider neighbor and a princely vampire warrior as she…

Talk about finding family in the strangest places.

Dina has lost everyone: parents, brother, sister, and the sentient Inn that cared for them. Though her family is presumed dead or permanently missing, finding what became of them remains her goal. She starts with acquiring Gertrude Hunt, an Inn dying from neglect.

As she nurses the now bed-and-breakfast, she befriends a hostile werewolf, houses an ostracized monarch, seemingly filled with grace and integrity, while actually a murderer of millions, and a Pomeranian with razor teeth and other surprising talents.

Her list of companions grows as do the challenges to her desire…

Sometimes a book series just hits right. An urban fantasy blend of sci-fi, romance, and suspense, The Innkeeper Chronicles completely captivated me. Dina Demille runs a Texas bed and breakfast that caters to an otherworldly clientele. The B&B is sentient. Dina's "magic wand" is a broom. There are galactic vampires and werewolves.
