Sweep in Peace | Ilona Andrews
28 posts | 49 read | 10 to read
Dina DeMille isn't your typical Bed and Breakfast owner. 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. 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. 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. 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. But then it's all in the day's work for an Innkeeper...

These are my current go-to books to read before the floor opens at conventions. They're short, relatively cozy, and move slow enough that I don't get mad when I have to turn off my kindle. Has anyone else read this series?

Chrissyreadit i enjoyed the first one and would read more if it fell in my lap 🤣 12mo

GondorGirl @Larkken I'm really enjoying them so far! 12mo

wanderinglynn Yes, I‘ve read the first two when they were released. I‘ve been meaning to pick up the rest of them. Ilona Andrews also has a prequel short on the website. They share a lot of short stories & other stuff on their website. 12mo
GondorGirl @wanderinglynn Ooo I'll have to check the website out! Thanks! 12mo
HeyT This is probably my fave ilona andrews series. I love most of their work but this is the series i reread the most. 12mo
GondorGirl @HeyT There was a dead dog in the first page of the first book and I almost stopped there, but I'm so glad I didn't. It's a really charming series. 12mo
HeyT @GondorGirl yeah the dog almost got me the first time too 12mo
DogEaredBooks I love this series! Although I will say the sister‘s Sweep the Blade is my favorite and I am just always hoping they come back to her. 12mo

An excellent sequel, more world building and the start of a nice romance. I really wish there were more books in the series.
Dina has been asked by a respected galactic peace keeping organization to host peace talks between Vampires, the Horde, and the Merchants. Saying no is the smart move, but saying yes means her Inn will receive money, sustenance, and reputation, all of which she needs. Can she make peace or will this destroy her and the Inn

Even more fun than the first one. Dina really showed her strength in this one, and the I enjoyed the plot of the peace summit.

When you read do you picture what‘s happening in your head? Or picture the setting in your head? I never do, but I‘m appreciating these pictures included in the ebook of this series. They are so well done!

Y‘all, I‘m struggling today. We‘re in the middle of a major, ongoing snowfall. It‘s cold. The sidewalks are impassable again. I can‘t comfortably spend time outside, and even when this dump melts, everything‘s gonna be flooded out.

Winter is the season that destroys my mental health and I need it to END already.

This cool book‘s been a small comfort today. And the characters drink lots of tea, which inspired me to brew a pot for myself.

Crazeedi Snow-yuck! So glad we are into spring instead of the opposite, hang in there, hugs🥰 5y
Meaw_catlady Praying the snow ends soon !!! Sending good energy your way! 5y
AvidReader25 Ugh. Hang in there! Spring is coming! 5y
GrilledCheeseSamurai Yeah. I've had my fill. Hopefully it won't be sticking around too much longer. 5y

Today‘s attempt to prevent myself from stress-starving. The iceberg wedge was mighty good, but I didn‘t manage to read very much while I ate it. Sigh. Hopefully I‘ll get a bit further when I hop on my stationary bike for some exercise.

I had such a great time with CLEAN SWEEP that I dove straight into SWEEP IN PEACE. This series is so much fun! Andrews really leans into the How Stuff Works side of things with this one, too. Y‘all know that‘s my jam.

Two things:

SiP overlaps slightly with the Edge books. While you don‘t NEED to have read that series to understand this, I wish I could remember the characters better.

I‘m a bit sad the omnibus edition only has b&w illustrations.

I liked this 2nd book in the series even better than the first. It went into more depth about the different types of creatures and complex diplomacy involved in dealing with them. An alien peace summit hosted by a magical innkeeper that is fraught with complications. The alien's personalities were impressively fleshed out. This is escapism at it's finest.

wanderinglynn I really enjoy this series. Ilona Andrews is one of my favorite authors. 5y
Clare-Dragonfly This series sounds really cool! 5y

Closing the first night of the #24B4Monday #readathon with about 4 hours. Having a terrible time concentrating. I am enjoying these alien diplomatic peace talks being hosted at a magic inn on Earth, because they have nothing to do with anything. @SumisBooks @Andrew65 @jb72

wanderinglynn I love that series. Ilona Andrews is one of my faves. ❤️ 5y
Andrew65 Using audiobooks has helped me get back to concentrating. A good first day time. 👏👏👏 5y

Now I know where I am in the Innkeeper Chronicles!

Dina reluctantly agrees to host an impossible peace summit, but nothing is as it seems. Loving this series from the great Ilona Andrews, and eager to dive into number three, now that I am back on track.

Emergency run to the library today for the tagged book. Returned all the books I finished during the readathon plus everything the kiddo has finished since Thursday (31 books! And she didn‘t even read anything this weekend). Then of course we checked out half the kids‘ department...between her card and mine we‘re making good use of our library!

Well, dammit! I was all set to move on to book 2 of the Innkeeper Chronicles, but it wasn‘t making any sense. Because I don‘t have book 2, I have book 3. On to something else for now, I guess, and hope the library has book 2.

Plugging away at #24B4Monday though.

I bought Clean Sweep a couple years ago and finally read it. Liked it and decided to read Sweep in Peace. Dina, the innkeeper, has to keep the peace between the Otrakars, vampires, and Clan Nuan. Meanwhile Officer Marais is staking out the inn, Sean is missing, and she needs a chef who can feed intergalactic guests on a tight budget. Plus, she‘s still trying to find her parents, who went missing years ago. Fun, imaginative read. On to book three!

wanderinglynn I love this series! ❤️ 5y
SW-T @wanderinglynn 😊😊😊 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I love this series too! I still have book 3 to read myself. 5y

Ilona Andrews is one of my favorite author discoveries this year. This installment in the Innkeeper series is even better than the first - it's a fast, fun yet nevertheless emotionally engaging fantasy jaunt. Loveable characters, twisty plot and the space-fantasy never gets annoyingly bogged down in details. I loved it.

NOT the captioned book but for any Ilona Andrews fans; they‘re serializing Arland and Maud‘s book on the Innkeeper website. Chapters are generally released every Friday. I‘m constitutionally ill-suited to serial reading and the enforced waiting is driving me insane but it‘s shaping up to be a very, very good book. 😊😊😊😊 It‘s all on the site at the moment but they‘ll take it down as soon as it‘s finished to prep for publishing so.. run!! 😊😊😊

iread2much Cool! I fail at reading things online (it‘s like 75% of my job sometimes so I don‘t like doing it for fun) so I can‘t wait for them to make it a real book! 7y

Innkeeper book 2. Just as fun, fast paced and action-filled as book 1. Love it!

Talking of repairing a car engine from the perspective of a vampire who does not live on Earth: "It poisons the environment, it's horribly inefficient, and it runs on fossil fuels. It requires a finite, high-pollutant resource to function. What idiot would build an engine based on a non-renewable resource?"

Well, that really struck a cord. Answer: currently, an idiot who makes a lot of money from said resource or who has friends who do.

Chachic You're reading Ilona Andrews too! 8y
MarriedtoMrT @Chachic Yup! Finally catching up on this series or trying to. I've owned this one since 2015 and never got around to it. I'm hoping to finish this one and the third in May before White Hot. 8y
Chachic Sounds like a good plan! I finished the first book so I'm hoping to start this one soon. White Hot and Wildfire are both available on Edelweiss, in case you want to request them. 8y
MarriedtoMrT @Chachic I'm not established on Edelweiss so I'm not sure how good my odds will be. I think I'm ok waiting, at least for White Hot. Not too much longer! Did you request Wildfire? That will be the final book, right? 8y
Chachic @MarriedtoMrT I don't have much of a presence on Edelweiss either and I heard from a publicist that they can only approve North American readers and reviewers. 8y

Attack #catsoflitsy. She's going after the bug shadow on the wall, ignoring the actual bug on the lampshade next to her.

I've been mildly book slumping lately. My brain just can't. I'm hoping Ilona Andrews can help!

According to Amazon I bought this December 2015. I'm not sure why I haven't read it yet because I thoroughly enjoyed the first one.

I have yet to read something by Ilona Andrews that I didn't love... This was very different than Clean Sweep, but just as enjoyable!

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Have you read her Edge series? 8y
Johanna414 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa just the first one so far 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Johanna414 Keep reading those, if you didn't notice the children of those books pop up as adults in this book. 8y
Johanna414 How cool! I didn't notice that, so now I'm going to have to go back and look! 8y

4.5/5 Stars

I enjoyed the hell out of this book. It had the action and suspense and the hint of romance that I've come to expect from this writing duo. It sucked me in and didn't let me go. Because I need to know what happens next, it has convinced me to read the installment in serial form.
