Clean Sweep (Innkeeper Chronicles #1) – Ilona Andrews
On the outside, Dina Demille is the epitome of normal. She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast. But Dina is…different: Her broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight. Under the circumstances, “normal” is a bit of a stretch for Dina.
And now, something with wicked claws and deepwater teeth has begun to hunt at night….Feeling responsible for her neighbors, Dina decides to get involved. Before long, she has to juggle dealing with the annoyingly attractive, ex-military, new neighbor, Sean Evans—an alpha-strain werewolf—and the equally arresting cosmic vampire soldier, Arland, while trying to keep her inn and its guests safe. But the enemy she’s facing is unlike anything she’s ever encountered before. It’s smart, vicious, and lethal, and putting herself between this creature and her neighbors might just cost her everything.
Home (Social Media #6) – J.A. Huss
I just want my Grace back.
I want the girl I found sending me dirty tweets on Saint Thomas. I want the girl who reluctantly gave in to my charms and let me boss her around. I want the girl who sent me to my knees and made me imagine what her fairy tale would look like with me in it.
I just want to move on.
I want to plan the future and think about kids and preschools and college funds. I want everything she ever wanted, and I want us to make it happen together.
But the media needs more from us. More dirt. More pain. More payment for past transgressions.
You can’t change the past. And even though Grace is ready to put her demons to bed, mine are just starting to get restless. Because when you’ve silenced as many enemies as I have over the years, you know that secret won’t stay buried forever.
Mortal Heart (His Fair Assassin #3) – Robin LaFevers
Annith has watched her gifted sisters at the convent come and go, carrying out their dark dealings in the name of St. Mortain, patiently awaiting her own turn to serve Death. But her worst fears are realized when she discovers she is being groomed by the abbess as a Seeress, to be forever sequestered in the rock and stone womb of the convent. Feeling sorely betrayed, Annith decides to strike out on her own.
She has spent her whole life training to be an assassin. Just because the convent has changed its mind doesn’t mean she has…

Oh my gosh, Illona Andrews wrote a new book? Ahhh! It sounds exciting, too! Ohhh, reading this post was so bad of me… now I want to go and buy books on my Kindle, lmao. xDD
Jules, I only just discovered Clean Sweep, but it was actually released last year. It’s a great story, I’ve already read it 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
Nice haul, Lexxie. I think I might be one of the very few who still hasn’t started the Social Media series. Ahh… one day.
Happy reading!
Marilyn @ Marilyn’s Mystery Blog
Home is the last book in the social Media series, and really, it’s amazing. I didn’t like the characters all that much in the first book, but with each new installment, they did or said something that made me totally swoon.
Thanks for stopping by, Marilyn.
Some interesting purchases this week. Mortal Heart seems to be the big book over the last two weeks. I love the cover for Clean Sweep.
Grace
Yeah, I just got introduced to His Fair Assassin this fall, and I loved the first two books so much I just had to get the last one as soon as it got out.
Clean Sweep was amazing, Grace!
Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend.
I really want to read the His Fair Assassins books! 🙂
Enjoy your new books! 🙂

My STS Post!
Those books are fantastic, Kyra 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
I still need to read the His Fair Assassin series. I’ve heard nothing but great things about it, but I’ve just not found the time to dive in.
I hope you enjoy all your new books!
My StS!
I was the same way, Kim, and then I suddenly read two books in a week, and I was impatiently waiting for the next one 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.

I LOVED Clean Sweap. They write this as a serial that they post chapter by chapter on their blog, then later release the entire book. Book two Sweep in Peace is partway up on the blog now. I haven’t read any of it. I like to wait and buy the entire book when it is available on audio (I’m hoping they’ll do book two as an audio too). I hope you enjoy.
I loved Clean Sweep, too, Melanie, and I already read all of the eight chapters that are up for Clean Sweep… Now I’m so impatient! I think you were very smart to wait for the full story.
Thanks for stopping by.
I really want to read the His Fair Assassins. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. I hope you enjoy your books!
Thanks, Chrissi. His Fair Assassin series is amazing.
Oh I loved Clean Sweep, I can’t wait for the second! Happy reading!
I already read Clean Sweep, Melliane, and I have also already read the first chapters of Sweep in Peace…
Thanks for stopping by.
Clean Sweep sounds awesome! I really want to start the His Fair Assassins series. Enjoy your books!

It’s SO good, Deitre! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Mortal Heart! Heard nothing but good things about the last in the series. I still have to read Grave Mercy yet, but looking forward to it when I do! 🙂
Yeah, it’s really a great series. What are you waiting for, Kirsty-Marie? Grave Mercy was so well done 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.

I love your well-balanced haul this week, a little something of everything there.
I’m most happy because my haul is manageable this week, Braine 🙂 Thank for stopping by.
I want to read Clean Sweep! I just finished Burn for Me and I want more Ilona Andrews. And I’m so behind on JA Huss’ stuff. I haven’t even started her Social Media series. Happy reading, Lexxie! I hope you have a wonderful week!
Oh Robyn, you are going to love it!! And yeah, you really should get into Social Media as well.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week yourself!
I need to get round to reading Clean Sweep! I picked it up a while ago. I do love Ilona Andrews novels…
Me, too, NIkki. And Clean Sweep was so good! Thanks for stopping by.
Ooh, I want Clean Sweep! 🙂 And I saw that Mortal Heart released so I was expecting it to be on our list. 😉 Home…*sigh* Have you started it yet? You grabbed some great reads this week, Lexxie! I hope you have time for some pleasure reading soon.
Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was grand. Mine was good – Berk’s concert was fabulous! She played Vivaldi’s Concerto in DM with accompaniment. It was beautiful. 🙂 I hope you’ll have a wonderful week, my friend! **BIG HUGS**
Clean Sweep was so good, Brandee! You are going to love it so much. I haven’t had a chance to read Mortal Heart yet, but I finished Home yesterday 😀 Very good! I loved Grace so much.
My weekend was pretty uneventful, but I think I really needed that. I am back in classes again, and feel busy already, but I have decided to take one less class than what I started the semester with. I have felt so frazzled lately.
I’m so happy Berk’s concert went so well! And I hope you filmed it so you can show me in May 😉 *BIG HUGS*
