A Frost Filled Christmas (Ribbon Series)
Amanda K
by Ilona Andrews
Welcome to Gertrude Hunt, where the hospitality is intergalactic and the danger is always just one knock away. Dina Demille, the innkeeper of this magical sanctuary in Red Deer, Texas, is preparing for the Treaty Stay—a sacred holiday requiring her to open her doors to any traveler who seeks refuge. While the tradition is meant to honor an ancient peace, it also invites a volatile mix of warriors, sages, and pilgrims into a very confined space.
This charming addition to the beloved Innkeeper Chronicles expertly blends urban fantasy with a touch of historical reverence for the cosmic laws governing the inns. As Dina and her partner, the fierce werewolf Sean Evans, navigate the unpredictable demands of their guests, the tension mounts. For fans of paranormal romance, this story delivers the perfect balance of cozy, high-stakes hospitality and simmering chemistry between a woman who controls a sentient building and the shifter who guards it.
Expect sharp wit, imaginative world-building, and the signature chaos that follows when powerful entities are forced to play nice under one roof. Whether you are a longtime fan of the series or a newcomer seeking your next supernatural obsession, this novella proves that maintaining a five-star rating is nearly impossible when the universe decides to crash your party.

Characters (5/5): I love the characters in this series and continue to love new ones that...

Please please keep writing this series. This series is just magical no pun intended and they just get better and better. With the exception of the last book about Maud, this series is my favorite. I’m late to reading them. Like years late and maybe it was just the kind of book I needed during the pandemic. But these books spoke to me. They soothed something I didn’t realize needed soothing. The story line and world building is top notch. The action and the story line and suspense of a typical...

Every winter Innkeepers celebrate their own holiday, Treaty Stay, which honors the ancient treaty that united the inns and established the rules to protect them, their guests, and Earth. Dina has her hands full this holiday though with dangerous guests. This novella takes place shortly after the third book, One Fell Sweep. I am so glad we get more of Dina and Sean again!. Dina is struggling to deal with the trauma of the seeding dying and it is affecting her ability to connect with Gertrude...

Book number five of a six book paranormal fantasy romance science fiction series. Please note that this book is a novella, not a full length novel. I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) illustrated (kinda) trade paperback published in 2020 by the Nancy Yost Literary Agency that I bought new on Amazon recently. Note that “Ilona Andrews” is the pseudonym for a husband and wife writing team. And yes, this is science fiction, there are spaceships, teleportation devices, beam...
