Secrets of the Chocolate House
by Paula Brackston
This series is very enchanting and magical. I love that the main character, Xanthe, can basically read and see visions of the history of some antique objects. What an interesting ability! I also love the attention to Ley Lines and her ancient blind house in the backyard of her home. All of this mixed with time-travel makes for a treat!
(But the best part is the romance)
There were some things that bothered me, I did not approve of Xanthe leaving her mom who suffers from severe arthritis so badly that she needs crutches. I personally take care of my mom, and to be honest, I do not care what happens.... my mom comes first. I just couldn't see myself leaving my mom in a possibly bad situation for any reason. This just really irritated me on a personal level.
Otherwise, the book is delicious. It's a treat. I recommend it to readers that enjoy some history with their fantasy!
