Description

A charming, short novella in the Innkeeper Chronicles, from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Ilona Andrews. Thank you for joining us at Gertrude Hunt, the nicest Bed and Breakfast in Red Deer, Texas, during the Treaty Stay. As you know, we are honor-bound to accept all guests during this oldest of innkeeper holidays and we are expecting a dangerous guest. Or several. But have no fear. Your safety and comfort is our first priority. The inn and your hosts, Dina Demille and Sean Evans, will defend you at all costs. [But we hope we don’t have to.]

Every winter, Innkeepers look forward to celebrating their own special holiday, which commemorates the ancient treaty that united the very first Inns and established the rules that protect them, their intergalactic guests, and the very unaware/oblivious people of [planet] Earth. By tradition, the Innkeepers welcomed three guests: a warrior, a sage, and a pilgrim, but during the holiday, Innkeepers must open their doors to anyone who seeks lodging. Anyone.

All Dina hopes is that the guests and conduct themselves in a polite manner. But what’s a holiday without at least one disaster?

    My deepest gratitude to the Ilona Andrews writing team. The Innkeeper series is my absolute favorite. The stories are intriguing and relatable. The books have a wonderful blend of action, romance, and suspense. I especially love how many of the main characters are thoughtful, kind, smart, funny, honorable, and well-mannered. So many of your other book series are also fantastic but this one has captured my heart.

  • This is such a great series!!!

    This series is amazing !!! There isn’t one of these books that is bad, and I am truly not sure which one is my favorite. That being said, this particular book was hilarious! I laughed so much because the mental pictures/visuals that Ilona & Gordon provided their readers were comedic gold. I mean, no one but this writing team could make space chickens comedic gold. This story was witty & very heart warming. It also had some slap stick moments that were seamlessly genius. I could see everything & everyone perfectly in my head. The usual characters were so well written that it felt like I was visiting with old friends. Yet, it was the new characters that we were introduced that cinched it for me. I cared about them all instantly. The mysteries behind some of them made me want to go read the next book to see what was next, but I know that I can’t because it isn’t out yet. Even the bad guys were so interesting that I couldn’t wait to see what path this storyline would take them on. Most definitely buy this book!!! You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Ilona & Gordon for another perfect story. You keep my little world interesting and I can not wait to read the next book. Happy Reading!!!

    I waited to read this book, because its predecessor was too good. This story, then, was doomed to be a disappointment. It is not. I’ve not even finished it and I’ve spent more time chortling gleefully throughout it than I have at any other book. I can’t even decide what my favorite line is. But I’m leaning toward the mosquito as air support. That sparked an outright guffaw from a combat veteran and native of Maine, where mosquito sizes start at xl. This is brilliant. Engaging. Funny. And as always with this writing duo, it has a depth which might seem at odds with the length and subject matter. This isn’t a standalone. But read the series, it’s worth whatever you pay to do so.

  • Great novella!

    This was a great entry in this fabulous series! Other reviews complain about how short it was, but as it was marketed as a novella, that is to be expected.

  • Great novella!

    It’s not a full book, but doesn’t pretend to be. Very satisfying for the shorter length. Anyone who likes this series will enjoy.

  • Amazing

    Another great installment! I see folks here giving it less stars because it’s a novella, 1/3 of a full length novel. Not reading the blurb properly isn’t an excuse to give this any less than the full five stars!

  • Unworthy effort

    I have enjoyed this series but this was about a third of a book. I expect far more from this duo.

  • There is no support option anywhere in here!!! The book never downloaded

    I’m a huge Ilona Andrews fan across all their books and Universes. I actually read this as a serial on their website and loved every word. Space chicken, cooking shows, super-powered aliens, backstabbing relatives, touching moments, this novella has it all. Highly recommended!

  • Awesome!

    This was another great installment to the “Sweep” series. This was a short story that tells us about the holiday “Treaty Stay”. Dina and Sean are trying to work together as a couple while getting guests at the inn during Treaty Stay. Dina is still recovering from death of the inn seed. Orro is fascinated by a food show. Sean is fixing the inn’s security. Plus Space chickens all these characters and more will delight any reader of the series. I would say you should read the series in order.
