rwbrock 's review for:
Secrets of the Chocolate House
by Paula Brackston
This is the second in series about a young woman living in Marlborough and helping her mum run an antique shop.
Xanthe has a gift for hearing certain antique objects “speak” (in this case a copper chocolate kettle from the 17th century). She has a vision that Samuel (an architect she fell for in the previous book) may be in trouble and travels back to try and help him. In the process she learns more about her gift of “spinning” time from a former Spinner, gains a vicious enemy, and resolves her feelings for Samuel.
This second book does a good job of expounding on the first by answering some questions and further developing characters. And it also leaves a convenient cliffhanger for book three.
Thanks to #StMartinsPress and to #NetGalley for providing the ARC. The opinions are strictly my own.
