À propos de cet audio
On the outside, Dina Demille is the epitome of normal. She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast. But Dina is...different: Her broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight. Under the circumstances, "normal" is a bit of a stretch for Dina.
And now, something with wicked claws and deepwater teeth has begun to hunt at night....Feeling responsible for her neighbors, Dina decides to get involved. Before long, she has to juggle dealing with the annoyingly attractive, ex-military, new neighbor, Sean Evans - an alpha-strain werewolf - and the equally arresting cosmic vampire soldier, Arland, while trying to keep her inn and its guests safe. But the enemy she’s facing is unlike anything she’s ever encountered before. It’s smart, vicious, and lethal, and putting herself between this creature and her neighbors might just cost her everything.
©2013 Ilona Andrews, Inc. (P)2014 Ilona Andrews, IncOverall I liked the story, it moved quickly. Although this is a bit of a romance novel it isn't full of steamy sex scenes. The book introduces you to the world of the innkeepers. You meet Vampire and Werewolves and, without introducing a spoiler, it has a non-supernatural explanation for their existence. It does rely heavily on Clark's first law "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". So while some of the things are explained as technology and some as magic the underlying theme is at some level it is all technology, just some of it looks like magic and we don't understand it.
The story is short, moves quickly, has few characters but fleshes them out well as well as setting up some (like the cop) for future books.
What I had a problem with what the narrator Renee Raudman. She usually is a great performer but she affects a southern accent that sounds both fake and makes the character sound older than she is supposed to be in the book. In the book the Innkeeper is 28 but the affected accent gives her the sound of somebody that grew up pre-WWII. It took me out of the story and I never really got used to it.
Good supernatural romp and intro to world

Don't let the romance tag fool you! there is a little bit of romance thrown in to spice up the story but is more about aliens and an epic battle. I would even suggest this book for guys who balk at romance. The writers poke fun at the whole vampire vs werewolf lover trope and it's hilarious.
In the innkeeper series we meet Dina, a 'regular' human who runs an intergalactic inn in mythical Red Deer Texas. We also meet Sean, an Alpha-strain werewolf and Arland, a vampire. I adore this story because even though the two men are mythical creatures, they are explained as aliens, instead of the over used virus or magical malady. Sean is a genetically modified super soldier from a dead planet, a refugee on earth. Arland is military leader who has come to earth following an assassin. although totally alien, vampire's humanoid appearance and alien customs has lead to the the mythical vampire in the retelling of encounters over time. the book goes into a bit more depth.
This story is a fantastic introduction into a new world hidden just beyond our own. Instead of being limited to the natural world we know, the innkeeper series is a doorway into the whole universe. we meet so many interesting characters from other worlds and even get to glimpse a few new planets. Later books we even meet a couple characters from the Andrews's Edge series. I love the tie into the other world and that we get to see the boys all grown up.
if you're a fan of any of the Andrew's other works or just a fan of a fun fantasy story I highly recommend this series!
Great new take on classic myths.

Awesome story and great idea

I loved this story! The protagonist is a woman who actually knows all about the world instead of the love interest!
They don’t get it on at all in the book so if you’re looking for that there’s a bit of sexual tension but not the lusty scenes other Ilona books have
I enjoyed the narrators relaxed southern drawl and her masculine voices were easily discernible from on another
Great listen all the way round!
It was a deal of the day!
