I grow to like Dina more as a character each time I read it. I have lost count of how many times I have read this book both during its release on the website and now all together as an ebook. Coupled with some superb illustrations this is a story you can read over and over and still enjoy each time. I urge you to buy the book even if you followed the release in serial form. All these plot points are tangled up together and woven into an excellent story of war and peace and love. There is main plot of the peace summit, the mystery of a stolen gem, a nosy policeman and Sean. Andrews writes a story within a story within a story. Arland, the super hotty vamp from House Krahr, is back again and back to some fangy flirtations with Dina but her mind keeps returning to Sean the equally hot shifter who has all but disappeared. Andrews' teased us with the crossover of these characters in book 1 - Clean Sweep - and they have blended well into this story. For those fans of the Edge series you will be interested to find out what has happened to George, his shapeshifter brother Jack and their cousin Gaston since the end the series. We also gain a better insight into the Innkeepers and the Gertrude Hunt through Dina's interactions with George and the other main characters. In this installment Andrews' continues to develop Dina as a character. There is a lot at stake and Dina is going to need every skill in her innkeeper arsenal to get through it. It all could be ruined if the summit does not succeed. She also needs to build the inn's reputation to attract more business. Dina needs guests in order to sustain the magic that keeps her inn alive. The Horde and the Vampires have been fighting for almost two decades for control of a planet that is rich in minerals while the Merchants are caught in the middle but making money off both factions. He asks her to host a peace summit between three warring factions - The Hope Crushing Horde (extremely violent super soldier race), House Krahr of the Holy Cosmic Anocracy (vampires) and finally The Merchants (a financially mercenary fox-like race). George is all grown up and now an Arbiter - think of a cosmic peacekeeper. It seems like it is just another day in the Gertrude Hunt for the innkeeper Dina Demile when she is approached by George (from The Edge series) who makes her an offer that she just can't refuse. My favourite innkeeper is back for another great adventure with her magic broom and shih tzu sized monster dog. I was extremely lucky (and grateful) to receive an eArc from the authors as I love this series. Check out the full over image so that you see just how gorgeous the whole cover is. The story was released in serial form on Ilona Andrews' website over the last year and now bundled up with some gorgeous illustrations for release on the 13th November. Sweep in Peace is another fantastic installment of the Innkeeper Chronicles series.
