Dina DeMille may run the nicest Bed and Breakfast in Red Deer, Texas, but she caters to a very particular kind of guest…the kind that no one on Earth is supposed to know about. Guests like a former intergalactic tyrant with an impressive bounty on her head, the Lord Marshal of a powerful vampire clan, and a displaced-and-superhot werewolf; so don't stand too close, or you may be collateral damage. But what passes for Dina's normal life is about to be thrown into chaos. First, she must rescue her long-distant older sister, Maud, who's been exiled with her family to a planet that functions as the most lawless penal colony since Botany Bay. Then she agrees to help a guest whose last chance at saving his civilization could bring death and disaster to all Dina holds dear. Now Gertrude Hunt is under siege by a clan of assassins. To keep her guests safe and to find her missing parents, Dina will risk everything, even if she has to pay the ultimate price. Though Sean may have something to say about that!
AMAZON LINK 5+ STARS
I like that if this is the very first book you've read in this series, you still could find your way pretty easily. I liked how what went on in a previous book is recapped in a way that wasn't overwhelming.
It's amazing how the "guests" know the rules about quiet entry and using the back entrance but still break those instructions. It makes for some hairy times for Dina.
Dina has such great creative ability when it comes to making a room personal for her new guests. And speaking of new, her sister Maud and her daughter Helen add plenty of newness to the Inn. Even though Maud has some of the Innkeeper abilities with the Inn too. Helen, oh wow what can I say about her? She may only be a 5 year old part vampire but I loved her ! She's cute, funny and fierce. And her mother Maud will do whatever she has to when it comes to keeping her safe.
Some previous visitors show up again in this story. Arland the vampire from the Marshal from the House of Krahr is one of those. He is handsome, charming, funny and full out lethal. He also plays more of a part than even the previous stories.
Sean is back but he is WAY more than just a visitor and that friendship and "romance" get more attention. That was really good!
Office Marais also shows up (well, he never really left) and he's still eagle eyeing Dina and the Inn. Boy, there are some big surprises coming up in that area.
Caldenia is still the permanent residence and once again she comes through for them when you least expect it. She is also a hoot especially when she's in her observer mode. She loves the drama and the excitement of danger. She says it makes for good entertainment.
There are twists, turns, more and more dangers coming from expected and unexpected regions. It kept me all the way in and on the edge of my seat when it comes to this story.
I don't know how it happens but this series just keeps getting better and better. Ok, so I'm on to the next one.
