Sweep In Peace
(4 / 5)
Now we are getting somewhere… I loved the second instalment of the Innkeeper Chronicle series. Apparently this series ties in with a series that The Andrews’ wrote called “The Edge” where some of the characters who were children in that series are now adults. However, if you are like me and am a Ilona Andrews novice, never fear! You wont lose anything by not knowing the characters… Although it will be interesting to read the other series to understand their story better.
Dina is back in the second instalment of the Innkeeper Chronicles, Sweep in Peace. Her inn is sitting there idle, her sorta boyfriend/love interest Sean Evans is nowhere to be found, and her life has been totally dull and uneventful. Until an arbitrator named George comes to visit. He wants her to host a peace summit in her Inn, between three races who are killing each other over one mineral rich planet. It could be the opportunity that she is looking for to up her inns standing, however she also knows its most likely going to end in disaster! And how the hell is she going to feed so many people, vampires and other strange creatures!??
YAY!!! NO LOVE TRIANGLE!!! Oh how I loved this book so much more because of the LACK OF A LOVE TRIANGLE! Sure, the vampire still has the hots for her, but Dina’s heart belongs to a sexy alpha werewolf… However… WHERE THE HELL WAS THE WEREWOLF!! 2 minutes of the book had Sean in it! Seriously! So obviously the romance was almost NADA – Sorry folks!!
But what it lacked in romance it made up for with wit, action and mystery. Killer story! Literally! I loved this one! Loved the magic, loved the plot and loved the action! There was only one more tiny little thing that turned me off it and that was it was a little slow in places. Listening to it was actually a challenge because I would keep losing interest and literally have to rewind it 10 minutes or so to figure out what on earth was happening! Might stick with paper/kindle versions of the next one. Don’t get me wrong the narration is excellent, but it didn’t quite hold me all the time. But of course it did have parts where I refused to take the headphones out of my ear because it was so good… I think it needed more Sean!
I enjoy Dina’s character, even though at times she can be a bit high and mighty for my liking. A bit too goody goody. But that’s just her, and I still love her. I can’t wait for more books to come out and I can’t wait to get into finding out what happened to her parents.
Would I recommend it?
Yeah for sure! So much fun! Even though you don’t need to have read the first one it would probably help you get a grasp of what’s happening and to get to know the characters more. Especially Sean and Dina because they are only together for like a paragraph in this one… BOO! Way to make me want to read the third Mr and Mrs Andrews!!
Oh and GORGEOUS COVER!!!
