Clean Sweep (Dramatized Adaptation)

Innkeeper Chronicles, Book 1

By: Ilona Andrews

Narrated by: Alejandro Ruiz, Christopher Walker, Holly Adams, James Lewis, Karen Novack, Ken Jackson, Nora Achrati, Peter Holdway, Elias Khalil, Ryan Reid, Alex Hill-Knight

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.

Loved it!

This was so good. The story, the narrators, the sound effects, all of it. I was worried that the dramatic version would be like going to the movie after reading the book and being left disappointed. In those situations I am disappointed because movies tend to leave out important parts and / or change the story, this was not what this version did. For me it gave another way to experience a book I already loved. I hope Ilona Andrews do this with more of their books.

Unique but not for me

Unique storyline and amazing voice acting. I love the small comedy moments between Diana and Sean, but despite all of that, this book is not my cup of tea. It doesn’t grab my attention like other books. I might still push on like I have done for other books and I ended up loving them so much, for now, I’ll skip it.

Thoroughly Entertaining

I have the original audio book, but the multiple reader cast caught my attention. It was every bit as good as the original, and added extra depth. I look forward to the rest of the series being re-recorded

One of My Favorite Book Series and Now Dramatized!

I love this book series. I have read and listened to them several times and looking forward to the next book. Now I am going to be listening again but to the dramatized versions. This first book dramatization was great, 👏. Can't wait to hear the others this way.

A new way to love Innkeeper

Graphic Audio brings the Innkeeper to life the way we wish movies would bring our favorite books to the screen but never really do. The book, of course, is superb if you have not read an Ilona Andrews book you are missing a joyful experience mixing hold your breath battles with romance, lively characters, and settings that are stunning to imagine.

Great Version.

One of my favorite author duo, so I have no problem purchasing a story I already have with a credit as I love the series in general and want to support the authors I want to continue to write. I loved the original recording with Renee Raudman as the narrator, so decided to give this version a go. I enjoyed it equally as much. There was some added background noise that was not in the book, that makes the book a bit more movie like as is their point in adding it. I think the background noise was good, but just need to lower the volume just a touch to make it great. The kiss part was almost comical, they shouldn’t have used the music they did. Overall production was great. I still love the book.

I am obsessed with GraphicAudio products!

I read this book when it originally was released years ago. I’ve reread it many times. But this GraphicAudio production is fantastic! The multicast narration with so many great narrators really adds to the story. Highly recommend the whole series!!

Loved it!

Really enjoyed this adaptation. Great job! And of course, great story. This one has been one of my favorites since I first read it. Always appreciate a new experience while re reading a book.

A fantastic listen

I read this book awhile back. I enjoyed it more the second time around with the voices an background effect. The story itself was engaging and funny! The pacing was good and kept my interest I think I finished it in two sittings.

Intriguing

I really enjoyed this book, was different and captivating. looking forward to the next book in the series
