This novel started off as a free book on Ilona Andrews's website. I read the entire Clean Sweep novel online except for the last couple of chapters since I wanted to remain unspoiled. The husband and wife team are leaking out chapters for the next novel in this series on their website so you should take a look at it when you have a chance.

This main heroine in this book is Dina Demille. She runs a bed and breakfast in a small town in Texas. Though Dina looks normal she is not. She is actually an innkeeper who has magic powers tied to her home which she uses to keep her guests (mostly not human) safe. Due to some strange deaths of her neighbors animals Dina realizes that something dangerous is prowling her neighborhood. Because of the deaths Dina makes the acquaintance of her neighbor Sean who is a werewolf and a vampire named Arland who is also investigating the deaths.

This book really fired for me on all cylinders. I loved the characters of Dina and Arland. I loved the idea behind the innkeepers and what makes them so powerful. I also liked that there is another layer added to the plot with Dina trying to find out what happened to her parents.

One reason why I liked the online version so much is that they also included pictures so you could picture certain people or places in your head. What really made this book rock for me is that it also keeps some of the illustrations. Since I have a Kindle Fire the images looked really good. I would recommend trying to read this via your PC or tablet if you don't have a Kindle Fire.

The only thing that I really didn't care for that didn't work for me was the attempt to have a love triangle and that the character of Sean had so many shades of Curran (from Ilona Andrews Kate Daniels series) and the uber alpha male boss thing is getting played out for me in urban fantasy novels.
