Clean Sweep by Ilona Andrews

I liked this enough to sit reading from start to finish with breaks for quick food consumption and breaks of a more intimate nature.

It's our world with people of various paranormal ethnicities dropping into it. There are werewolves and vampires and other things that exist and visit or live on our planet and often they stay at places called Inns. Similar to your normal bed and breakfast with lunch and dinner thrown in except that the clientele aren't normal and they might stay longer than overnight but you can be sure that the 'innkeeper' will protect your stay while you are a guest; with discretion, diplomacy, bravery and magic.

Dina is a young innkeeper. She has a problem, someone in the neighborhood is killing dogs. Normally this isn't something she'd get involved in, an innkeeper's job is to protect their inn and their guests but the method of the killings suggests a werewolf. Enter a werewolf but he's not the killer, he's smart but ignorant. Enter a detachment of vampires hunting an assassin, they're arrogant and bound by ritual. Enter an assassin. Add humor and two sexy paranormal males to one innkeeper. You get a light enjoyable read that goes no further than 'a' kiss and pulls you through the story. For non m/m reading it's listed as four 1/2 star for a reason.

New word from this book:
anocracy
An anocracy is a regime-type where power is not vested in public institutions but spread amongst elite groups who are constantly competing with each other for power.
