by Ilona Andrews

REVIEW POSTED ONLINE: MAY 22, 2026

Dina is a young innkeeper. It may look like a cozy B&B on the outside, but this inn has a mind of its own and caters intergalactic travelers and it’s Dina’s job to keep all of her guests safe. That job gets a lot harder when a werewolf decides the inn is within his territory and a vampire comes to avenge a death in his family.

REVIEW

What I Liked:
I enjoyed the science fiction take on werewolves and vampires being aliens from other planets. There was amazing slow burn love triangle tension between Dina and the two alpha male characters. The unknowns around her family provide a nice mystery to underpin the rest of the series.

Fair Warning:
Neighborhood pets are not safe in this story, right from the start.

Overall:
I loved the Kate Daniel’s series by Ilona Andrew’s and while a different vibe, I am looking forward to the a good blend of action, character development, and slow burn romance in the Innkeeper series.

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

Heat Index: 🔥 (1/5)
