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
