Jack and Gaston are mostly present for comic relief, but George. Now that the excitement of seeing them again has worn off, now that I'm rereading the installment in its entirety, I can see these adult versions of the children who stole my heart more clearly. They finally have, and I almost wish they hadn't. In hindsight, it was a naïve thing to do-the Andrews have never shied away from violence-and now I think SWEEP IN PEACE is similarly darker.įor years, myself and many others have been begging the Andrews to write something about the younger generation from their THE EDGE series: Jack, George, Gaston, and Lark/Sophie. I was told in advance that it was darker than what they usually write, and I mistakenly equated “darker” with violence. I recently had an opportunity to read the opening chapters for an Andrews' work-in-progress.

Obviously, I still enjoyed the book-very much-but the problem can't go unaddressed, and I feel like I've painted a more negative picture than I intended to.

I had a minor issue with INNKEEPER CHRONICLES #2. Ilona Andrews delivers only the best.' - New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost 'One of the brightest voices in urban fantasy and one of my favorite authors. “If there is one author that defines Urban Fantasy, it is Ilona Andrews.” -Annie Tegelan, Fresh Fiction “Andrews is an auto-buy no matter what the genre!” - Romantic Times But then it's all in the day's work for an Innkeeper.… 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. 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. 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. 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. Dina DeMille isn't your typical Bed and Breakfast owner.
