A charming, short novella in the Innkeeper Chronicles, from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Ilona Andrews. Thank you for joining us at Gertrude Hunt, the nicest Bed and Breakfast in Red Deer, Texas, during the Treaty Stay. As you know, we are honor-bound to accept all guests during this oldest of innkeeper holidays and we are expecting a dangerous guest. Or several. But have no fear. Your safety and comfort is our first priority. The inn and your hosts, Dina Demille and Sean Evans, will defend you at all costs. [But we hope we don’t have to.]

Every winter, Innkeepers look forward to celebrating their own special holiday, which commemorates the ancient treaty that united the very first Inns and established the rules that protect them, their intergalactic guests, and the very unaware/oblivious people of [planet] Earth. By tradition, the Innkeepers welcomed three guests: a warrior, a sage, and a pilgrim, but during the holiday, Innkeepers must open their doors to anyone who seeks lodging. Anyone.

All Dina hopes is that the guests and conduct themselves in a polite manner. But what’s a holiday without at least one disaster?

Popular Highlights in this book

What are popular highlights?

I closed my eyes and opened my soul. The doubt, the guilt, the fear, I let it go, and Gertrude Hunt’s magic flooded into me, clean and strong. The past already happened; the future was now. I was an innkeeper, this was my inn, and everything and everyone within it was in my care.

“Then you will bring this Grand Burger to me and I shall make it. You will taste it and you will weep, for it will be the best Grand Burger to ever grace a human mouth.” He spun around dramatically and stalked off into the kitchen. “We should get him a cape,” Sean said.

“Ilona Andrews” is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing team. Ilona is a native-born Russian and Gordon is a former communications sergeant in the U.S. Army. Contrary to popular belief, Gordon was never an intelligence officer with a license to kill, and Ilona was never the mysterious Russian spy who seduced him. They met in college, in English Composition 101, where Ilona got a better grade. (Gordon is still sore about that.)

Gordon and Ilona currently reside in Texas with their two children and many dogs and cats.

They have co-authored four NYT and USAT bestselling series, the urban fantasy of Kate Daniels, rustic fantasy of the Edge, paranormal romance of Hidden Legacy, and Innkeeper Chronicles, which they post as a free weekly serial.

Id recommend it to everyone who loves the genre, I love the thought of an magical inn, where the whole galaxy meets and where doors to different places, are possible. I'd havd an inn like that, if the option should ever arrive...just putting it out there for the universe to catch up on..
This one is shorter than some of the others, but its still a wonderful visit at Gertrude Hunt!

This is a nice novella bridging to the next novel. I'm excited to read what's next. It was so inventive and fun to recognize some of the aliens.

The last installment was excellent. This felt more like an amuse bouche to keep us going till the next main installment comes. I'm not complaining, and was happy to read, but the chickens were a bit silly. I did love the cooking television show melt down! That was great.
I'm completely in on this series now and will buy each installment. A happy series.

This was a delightful read from the husband and wife duo. It’s great to revisit Gertrude Hunt and innkeepers, Dina and Sean as they host arguing chickens and a duel.

Delightfully Outstanding Book

Sean as an innkeeper is fascinating. He approaches it differently with his own priorities. The space chicken debate generates plenty of drama, who knew they could get so worked up. As expected Gertrude Hunt has lots going on with Orro's wonderful cooking and unexpected drama.

A super sweet bridge between the last time we saw Dina and Sean and the next book! I really enjoyed meeting a few new species and especially the world building in this one.

It was nice going back to the inn albeit for a novella. It got me ready for the next book, which I intend to read very soon!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 13, 2022

Now I’m out of books until the next one releases. I’m not ready to have no more books to read. What an epic series. It’s so vivid and vibrant. I love the way they blend aliens, space, scifi, magic, and the feeling of home all rolled into one. I love getting to see the love between Sean and Dina blossom, pun intended. This so deserves a show somewhere as it needs more than a movie could provide. Man it would be so cool to see the magic and technology collide. The imagery is so vivid it would be so artistically pleasing if they did it right. Epic series.

Short but fun catch up with the Inn Keepers.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

This novella from the Innkeeper chronicles is a short visit to catch up with the characters from that series. The series is about a sentient Inn and the characters who live there, visit, or defend it.

At the end of book 3, one Fell Sweep, we had 2 couples, Dina and Sean who got their happy ever after and Maud and Arland who still had to get there. Book 3 ended a quite epic bit of story telling with a few loose ends to take us into the next book. The authors chose to go with Maud and Arland off world away from the Inn for book 4.

We will have to wait a year for the next full novel so in this story we get to catch up with Dina Sean and the Inn. It starts days after book 3 ended with Dina and Sean expecting to go before the Innkeeper Assembly as a result of the previous adventures. However, a dangerous guest who wants to stay at the Inn for a special meeting, a group of philosophying space chickens needing a place to have a gathering, an alien general looking to visit the Alamo and Orro going to see his TV chef hero in action all need to be dealt with first.

This was written for the authors website around Christmas and it has a light hearted feel and plenty of fun. There is that bit of darkness that makes it worth reading but the overall story arc doesn't really move forward. We have to wait for book 6 to se if Dina gets closer to finding her missing family.

It's a must have for anyone reading the series and makes a taster for anyone who wants to try the series. Its too short to have room for much back story so you need to accept it as it is.

5 amazing stars!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 20, 2020

This series is one of my favourites and I've loved every book so far, this one didn't disappoint. It might even be my favourite.

I really wish they were longer, I would happily read a 1000 page book about Dina and co. That's my only complaint.

I loved her relationship with Sean in this one, I'm glad they're getting their happily ever after. After everything, they deserve it. I like how he's still his badass soldier self, even while settling into life as an innkeeper.

As usual, the residents of the Inn were delightful. Orro is one of my favourites and he was superb in this book. I laughed out loud a lot at his parts, I feel like I should now start randomly shouting 'Fire!' when I'm excited. I'm so glad he got to see his mentor at the end, it was so heartwarming. I wish I had Orro in my kitchen!

Her Grace was excellent, I love that she's currently playing the part of a gossipy old woman, obsessed with the neighbours and their drama. I forgot who she really was for a moment. I have a feeling that Caldenia is going to become important in later books. I think housing her for so long has to buy Dina a lot of good will. So hopefully, when she emerges from her seclusion, she'll remember Dina is a friend.

The actual plot of this one was fun. Dina handles a crisis really well. I adored her interactions with the chickens, so much!

I'm hoping the assembly will back off and give her the credit she deserves. She handles situations that would terrify other innkeepers and they need to cut her some slack. She deserves another star rating for her Inn at the very least. The assembly feel like bullies to me and I don't like it.

I love Dina's new friend. I like that she was human but became something else, it reminds me of Sean's journey, even though he's a werewolf . (speaking of, I freaking loved the part where he bit that assassin's head, great stuff.)

The battle was great but again, way too short, I want more! I enjoyed Sean just sitting behind his ridiculously large guns, blasting away.

Overall, I loved it, I want to reread the whole lot.

An absolute triumph!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 14, 2020

After eagerly awaiting the next installment to this series, I can truthfully say I was not disappointed. The world building is second to none and on par with another of my favourite series, by the same duo, The Kate Daniels novels. The characters are fantastic, well thought out and unique, as always the Authors pull you in, hook you and then leave you waiting voraciously for more.

In this installment Dina is anxious about the Assembly issue that was raised in the previous book, Tony makes a brief appearance but that doesn't leave one with a sense of confidence about the whole thing I must say. However this is resolved by the end , thankfully.
All our favourite characters are back and on FIRE! Dina and Sean are just divine as a partnership and continue to make me root for their happy ending, we meet new and unusual friends and Marias even makes a not so subtle return as well.
The imagination that goes into these novels and other sentient species is astounding and this husband and wife duo have a spectacular talent for story telling!

If you have never read anything by Ilona Andrews I can say you are surely missing out, these are certainly worth investing time, money and endless emotion in.
Let's hope the next installment isn't too long a wait!

Sweet interlude, with some kick-ass fighting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 1, 2020

If you are a die-hard fan of Ilona Andrews (and subscribe to their blogs) you will have been advised that thos was always going to be a 'novella' : a short story. It was never meant to be a novel. I can see that some reviwers were disappointed in this.

I was pleasently surprised by this popping up in January! I was very happy with the small glipses it gives of Dina & Sean, as they settle into being a couple. Lord alone knows that 'One Fell Sweep' was tumultuous from start to finish. So getting a taster of an Innkeeper 'holiday' seem like a nice relaxing plot. I thought it was going to remain on these lines.

The story give realxed descriptions of Orro's utter passion cooking, Sean getting used to being just 'Sean' and not a killing machine, crazy space chickens (LOL), a guest who is on a pligrimage, and a mysterious creature callled a Drífan! The DrÍfan liege, who turns out to be a kick-ass sword fighter. A being who has returned to Earth to deal with matters from her past!

It was really fun and interesting story. It did leave me begging for more though! So the geek I am, I hope we have been left clues as to future events, but even if we do not, then this wasa great story for IA fans.

A fascinating series

This is an amazing series,.such a great fear of imagination and utterly original. There's nothing in urban fantasy similar to this. The universe is.bigger than you imagine there are plenty of other worlds. Gertrude Strong is a sentient Inn a building where space travellers can rest while travelling through the universe, in every inn resides an Innkeeper the person responsible for.running the Inn, Dina is Gertrudes Innkeeper bonded together the Inn responds to Dumas every thought,, creating rooms, furnishings etc, everything needed to ensure a guests comfort and security. An Innkeepers most important job is to make sure normal humans do not find out about space travellers. After the dramatic events from the last book Dima and Sean are.recovering at the Inn awaiting a summons to explain what happened at the Inn and their involvement. The wait is not easy if it's decided they are at fault it could result in devastating repercussions. A day before the tribunal an emissary arrives at the Inn, there is a very dangerous guest requesting at Gertrude Strong and only Gertrude will do, due to circumstances Roma cannot refuse.to host the guest but is uneasy. That's only the first unusual request in short order Dina has two more guests and a busy few days to survive.
