What has always drawn me into any world the writing team of Ilona Andrews is their ability to draw the reader into the worlds they create with such ease. Clean sweep is a combination of paranormal and sci-fi, with mythical creatures and wormholes to other worlds. This is not a simple task for a writer, but for these guys, it's a piece of cake. The world building is such that you are invested and emotionally tied to all the characters introduced. I am blown away yet again. The story is smart, funny and engaging from page one. It's when I learned how Clean Sweep came about that I fell even more in love with this team. 
 It's a "for the love of it" project! Every week these guys would write and post a chapter online - for free. In their words, it would be a "no second chances" type project. No re-writes or changes would be made once posted; it would just be out there to stay. Fans could read and leave feedback and comments, and it was a total interaction during the writing process. Once Clean Sweep was finished, a desire from fans prompted the duo to publish and release it out to the masses. 
 The write up says it all if you want to know what Clean Sweep is all about. As for me, I find the back-story of how Clean Sweep came to be even more reason to go out and by this book. You can also read the first three chapters online over at http://demo.ilona-andrews.com/ 
 5 Stars for the story and 10 stars to the writing team of Ilona Andrew!
