Week 50 Review: Sweep of the Heart

From Goodreads:
From the New York Times #1 bestselling author, Ilona Andrews, comes a fun and action-packed new adventure in the Innkeeper Chronicles! We invite you to relax, enjoy yourself, and above all, remember the one rule all visitors must obey: the humans must never know.

Life is busier than ever for Innkeeper, Dina DeMille and Sean Evans. But it's about to get even more chaotic when Sean's werewolf mentor is kidnapped. To find him, they must host an intergalactic spouse-search for one of the most powerful rulers in the Galaxy. Dina is never one to back down from a challenge. That is, if she can manage her temperamental Red Cleaver chef; the consequences of her favorite Galactic ex-tyrant's dark history; the tangled politics of an interstellar nation, and oh, yes, keep the wedding candidates from a dozen alien species from killing each other. Not to mention the Costco lady.

They say love is a battlefield; but Dina and Sean are determined to limit the casualties! 

My Review:
I loved reading this book! I love this series so much, and I loved watching this book as it was being released as as serial, and now that it's been published, it was great to read it all together, since it started late last year. It was such a great story! 

There are so many things that I love about this book. The reveal about Costco lady, that was fantastic! That the votes for the candidates that we, the BDH, cast, were used in the story, that we were The Dominion, that was so much fun! And oh, the little note at the beginning of each chapter, which was from when it was a weekly serial, with a big, complicated cast, and the note would tell us what had just happened. Absolutely loved these elements, on top of everything else!

The main bulk of this story was the selection of the spouse. And oh, the politics and goings on there was complicated and amazing! There were a lot of hidden plots, agendas, and a lot of the candidates had a particular thing that made them stand out-sometimes not in a good way. Loved how it all went down! I was so glad for the ending, it was just so perfect!  

That ending? Ilona Andrews deliberately ended the serial before the final showdown, the rescue attempt of Wilmos that was the reason why they held the interstellar Bachelor. What we learned there, what happened, that was intense, and I'm so excited to see where things go from here! The implications and the fallout is just consuming my thoughts! 

Loved reading this book, and oh, I can't wait for the next book!
