This is based in a very unique world where there are supernatural creatures - but they are actually aliens, and "Inns" (planetary rest-stops) that are sentient. A hotel for the creatures that your average human has no idea exists.


Pretty much..

Dina is our hero. She is in her 20's and is an Innkeeper. This means she runs the bed & breakfast for intergalactic monsters and takes care of their needs. She has only one guest, Caldenia, who is some sort of alien royalty who kills and eats her victims. And Funyuns. Gotta have the Funyuns. I can relate.


I know what I'm going to be singing all night. And, now I want Funyuns.

We start our story with a dead dog. There have been several dead dogs in the neighborhood and Dina is tired of it. She knows that a werewolf recently moved in and that this is another creature threatening his territory and taunting him. She lets the werewolf, Sean, know that she is tired of waiting for him to take care of the problem and that she's stepping in. Also that she knows he is spending his nights peeing all over the neighborhood to mark his territory. I'd say it's a werewolf thing, but as a woman who lives with three grown men - it's just a man thing. They pee everywhere. You, unfortunately, get used to it.


It still won't work. Nice try, though.

Sean completely disregards her - a small human woman - and learns very quickly that things are not what they appear to be. They decide to work together, and then some vampires get involved, so they end up a threesome. In crime-stopping. This book has no smut. Not even the slightest hint of an inkling of smut.

The story was pretty good, but the world-building was great. Really original stuff! The whole thing with the sentient inn was very imaginative and entertaining.
