Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Clean Sweep (Innkeeper Chronicles, #1) in Books
Jan 7, 2021
This is a pretty short start to the series, introducing us to Dina. She's a fairly new Innkeeper - a person with magic, who offers sanctuary to those from other planets as they pass through Earth - though her parents used to run one when she was little.
Something is killing dogs in her neighbourhood and she approaches the local werewolf, Sean Evans, to ask him if he will deal with it and he acts clueless so she decides to take matters into her own hands. Lets just say Dina gets more than she bargained for.
I enjoyed this. It was an interesting start with good introductions to the Innkeeper life and most of the characters included in this.
I was willing Dina and Sean on as they tried to take down the person behind the dogs deaths, and also for that spark of romance between them.
On to book 2

The Beast House ( Beast House chronicles book 2)
By Richard Laymon
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
Author Gorman Hardy is hot on the trail of another bestseller and if half what's said about Malcasa Point is true, he's bound to make a killing. Petite and pretty Tyler and sexy Nora visit Malcasa full of expectation. But Malcasa Point is a place of pain, bestiality and death in The Beast House.
Well I have to say it’s 100% better than The Cellar! I can see from other reviews a lot of people agree on it. I found myself enjoying this. It was a classic horror in my opinion and there’s nothing wrong with a bit of classic. I enjoyed the captains story on Bobo it was very King Kong based except this was a rampant rabbit monster gone wild! A bit of cheese to keep a girl who loves horror happy.

Pendomus ( Pendomus chronicles book 1 )
By Carrissa Andrews
⭐️⭐️⭐️
A secret hidden in plain sight. A devastating attack. And a world hanging in the balance.
There are a lot of things I wish I'd known earlier - but three top my "wow, she was naive" list.
First, there are others on Pendomus. Second, a prophecy is in motion, and I hold the key to the survival of literally everything. Third, I'm being hunted by a madman who is desperately trying to wipe me from existence.
So yeah, no pressure.
I wasn’t sure for most of this book I feel like I missed a pre novella or something. It just plunges you in without any real idea of what’s happening. But as it goes on it’s worth sticking with the story has so much potential and is quite interesting especially towards the end. Worth sticking with I think.
Edit: there is a novella 0.5 called Tragectory

I don't know why that is; it's just one of those things.
However, I'll still read these novels, just not be in as much of a rush to do so as with the others.
This is the third in his FireBorn series (after both The Last Berserker: An action-packed Viking adventure and The Saxon Wolf: A Viking epic of berserkers and battle) and is also, for my money, the best of those three novels. That may be because of the nature of this - a band of travellers setting out on a quest, leading to a battle and a return home, with the author himself admitting the influence of the works of JRR Tolkien on this particular entry.
