Absolutely enjoying this book series… good characters and great storyline…A++++ to the books authors!!!

Another wonderful read in the Innkeeper’s world. If you are a fan of Codex Alera, or Kate Daniels, or Honor Harrington, this might be a treasure for you as well.

Wow....just wow!!! This was an amazing addition to this series, and I loved that this writing team chose to tell us Maud’s story. The authors made me care for DeMile Family, and all of the supporting side characters so much that I feel like I am sitting down to visit with old friends; all while hearing about the trials, tribulations, and happy endings that they experience every time I start a new book in any series written by Ilona Andrews. They are masters at world and character building, and I didn’t find anything in this storyline that lacked their usual finesse. Thank you, Ilona Andrews!!! I can’t wait to move on to the next book in the series!!! Happy Reading!!!

. . . and then the not-quite-cliffhanger Conflicts emotional, political, cultural, and physical are all attained. In spades. Maud’s daughter Helen reminds me of Dune’s Alia Atreides in her earlier-than-usually manifested skills, but I fervently hope that lacking Bene Gesserit and spice influences, that ends the resemblance! I am glad my son was never as scary a child to protect growing up. There is one priceless scene very late in the story involving a threatened Helen. In one single paragraph so much is accomplished it took my breath away. I bought the first three on sale as a bundle, but like another, realized I had better buy the next two, and hope another is due out soon. Wow. I don’t give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ at all often. Now for their “Magic” series . . .

This captures everything I like about the innkeeper series even though it doesn’t have an innkeeper in it. Maud is a great character. I love her story.

Ilona Andrews does it again. Fast action. Like-able characters in an engaging new world. Following the story in weekly bursts was a lot of fun, but the fleshed out version is even better. Can’t wait to get the printed version for my library. Fran Bookworm

Ilona Andrews’ Innkeeper series is wonderful. If you like Urban Fantasy, you will definitely like the series. Each book is better than the last, and this Maud side story is soooo good. It’s action packed, well-researched, and the chemistry is sizzling! Helen’s cuteness is literally out of this world.

Olen ollut Ilona Andrewsin fani jo pitkään. Kirjoitustaidoltaan ja tarinoiltaan maailman huippua oleva pariskunta tietää mitä heidän lukijakuntansa haluaa - ja usein yllättää vielä positiivisesti. Innkeeper-sarjan alussa tutustuimme Dinaaan, ja edelliset kolme kirjaa kertoivat hänestä. Nyt pääsemme siirtymään hänestä eteenpäin Dinan kiinnostavaan ja rohkeaan sisareen Maudiin ja edellisissä kirjoissa esiintyneeseen Arlandiin. Tämä on kai romanttista scifiä, mutta hyvin pehmeää sellaista. Suosittelen lämpimästi, ja sen jälkeen kannattaa ostaa kaikki muutkin Ilona Andrewsin teokset.

Great story in the Innkeeper series. This story is about Dina’s sister Maud. We follow her struggle to make up her mind on marrying Arland and fitting in being human on a planet of vampires. New species are introduced the Tachi and old characters come back Nuan Cee. There are banquets, sparring with future in-laws and snarky conversations to be had. Great fun! While this book could be read as a stand-alone it is better to have read the other Innkeeper books first.
