Genre: urban fantasy
Cover: Okay I guess, I don't know if it is the official cover, as it is not on their website.
I could also not find a blurb.
This book is awesome. It takes place about 5 months after the first book. Dina is still living in Gertrude Hunt Inn, her magical bed and breakfast place, but she is sorely in need of guests, as her only permanently residing guest points out: Her Grace, Caldenia ka ret Magren.
So when an Arbiter needs a place for three warring factions to stay, while he tries to negotiate a peace treaty, between the warring factions on the planet Nexus, she is not in the position to say no, even though she is his very last choice (every other Inn has turned him down). The Inn needs guests, and not only for the money it will bring. To cater to so many important people in the galaxy would be a sure feather in her cap, but keeping the peace between them won’t be easy. She will also need a cook to cater for them …
It is such a good story, and I don’t want to spoil anything, but Arlan is one of the guests.
The Arbiter is determined that a peace treaty is made, and he is willing to manipulate Dina and everyone else to get it done. And when Dina realizes that, she is not too happy, and shows him more of what she can do. But she has started this, and she will have to see it through, until her guests go over the line too much …
Danger, intrigue, treason, action, magic and humor, it has it all. Even a little hint of romance. I love the little glimpses of the other universes, like when Dina is shopping for a cook, and how she deals with him. Yes, she does miss her almost love-interest and alpha werewolf Sean Evans but he stepped into the galaxy 5 months ago and has not been back nor sent word to her.
And the ending, as usual, it is a big surprise and so well done. I sure hope they will write another one soon. This is a series worthy of re-reading.
10 stars.

I am so anti serial, cos I can't deal, so I did not follow it :/
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI don't follow it either B but I do read it once it is finished.
VerwijderenI so want to read that first book. I didn't while it was being published as I don't like serials. I didn't know the second one was already out. Hm... must check things out! :D
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYes go for it Melissa, it also has a pet dog that is more than just a dog!
VerwijderenI'm so excited for this one. I'm really hoping that it will be on audio. I haven't heard anything official yet, but Clean Sweep was, so I'm hoping it did well enough for another audio.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHi Melanie, thanks for visiting. It might take a while as they are behind on their writing, but I do hope it for you.
VerwijderenI think I read on their fb the other day that they removed it from their site recently so they can get it edited and ready to put as an ebook on Amazon, etc. I'm hoping it will be in audio like book one :D
