Secrets of the Chocolate House by Paula Brackston
5.0

I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Secrets of the Chocolate House is the sequel in the Found Things series. Xanthe has returned from her time travel after successfully saving the woman she was sent to help, but heartbroken over the man, Samuel, she had to leave behind in the 17th century. But while searching for new items for their antiques shop, another item "sings" to her...an antique copper chocolate pot. This new item sends her back to the same time as before, only Samuel is now in trouble and needs rescue from a very dangerous man...a man desperate for Xanthe's secrets of time travel. Will she survive to rescue Samuel, or will they both die in the attempt?
I absolutely love this series! I fell in love with the idea of these antique objects singing Xanthe into the past. There are so many time periods and story lines that this series can follow and I'm excited to see where her time spinning takes her next, especially after that cliffhanger ending!
