Dina DeMille isn't your typical Bed and Breakfast owner. Her inn defies laws of physics, her dog is secretly a monster, and the only permanent guest of the inn is a former Galactic tyrant with a price on her head. The inn needs guests to thrive and guests have been scarce, so when an Arbitrator shows up at Dina's door and asks her to host a peace summit between three warring species, she jumps on the chance.Unfortunately, for Dina, bridging the gap between space vampires, the Hope-Crushing Horde, and the merchants of Baha-char is much easier said than done. To make the summit a success, she must find a chef, remodel the inn, keep her guests from murdering each other, and risk everything, even her life, to save the man she might fall in love with. But then it's all in the day's work for an Innkeeper...
Ilona Andrews is one of my favorite authors. These books are short (to me) but fun. They're extremely easy to read and if you have a quiet day can read them in a single day.
The world building is phenomenal and I am a hardcore Fantasy fan not Sci-fi. This book has more Sci-Fi elements (space craft, aliens, technology) but also the standard fantasy that I love (werewolves, vampires, sword fights...) The author duo really melds them well together.
To me this would fall into the "New Adult" genre (If that's even a thing anymore) simply because it deals with adults and adult problems, but is so easy to read. It's no epic by any means and isn't hard to tackle. There is some romance eventually and a few curse words (less than 5 in this book) and no smut.
I can only song the praises of this book and it's one of the few that I can reread often and still enjoy the journey.
