aarrick 's review for:
Secrets of the Chocolate House
by Paula Brackston
Xanthe is back in the second book of the Found Things series. After her first foray into the past to help someone in need, Xanthe finds a new object that sings to her and beckons her back. What is surprising is that it is to help an old friend, who is in more danger than ever.
The chocolate pot takes her to a chocolate house and introduces her to a new ally, a new foe, and familiar friends. She must risk her life, both in the past and present, to help someone in need. She is also has to deal with an unwanted blast from the past who has come to stir her up and make her reconsider her choices thus far.
The book was very entertaining and it was great to see characters from the first book appear, as well as new introductions. I did feel like some of the plot points seemed a bit strained and the ending left a little to be desired. I enjoyed the adventure it took me on and was glad to see the story continue. If you love antiques, time-travel, and adventure, this will surely keep you engaged.
