I'm at odds of how to rate this book because while it was so magical and enchanting and had the most beautiful language and essentially everything I love in a book it somehow didn't give me that feeling that I wanted and that I get from my 5 star reads. I went into this wanting it to be a 5 star read and expecting it to be a 5 star read but for me it just fell a little short of that. I still adored it and want nothing more than to attend the cirque de reves and I like celia bowen would also die for marco alisdair and i so wish it were real. Actual Magic in a book.
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Clean Sweep (Innkeeper Chronicles, #1) in Books

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
