"The second novel in a bewitching series "brimming with charm and charisma" that will make "fans of Outlander rejoice!" (Woman's World Magazine) New York Times bestselling author Paula Brackston's The Little Shop of Found Things was called "a page-turner that will no doubt leave readers eager for future series installments" (Publishers Weekly). Now, Brackston returns to the Found Things series with its sequel, Secrets of the Chocolate House. After her adventures in the seventeenth century, Xanthe does her best to settle back into the rhythm of life in Marlborough. She tells herself she must forget about Samuel and leave him in the past where he belongs. With the help of her new friends, she does her best to move on, focusing instead on the success of her and Flora's antique shop. But there are still things waiting to be found, still injustices needing to be put right, still voices whispering to Xanthe from long ago about secrets wanting to be shared. While looking for new stock for the shop, Xanthe hears the song of a copper chocolate pot. Soon after, she has an upsetting vision of Samuel in great danger, compelling her to make another journey to the past. This time she'll meet her most dangerous adversary. This time her ability to travel to the past will be tested. This time she will discover her true destiny. Will that destiny allow her to return home? And will she be able to save Samuel when his own fate seems to be sealed?"--… (meer)

While I still enjoyed the overall story, it was definitely more disjointed than the first installment... Also, I sensed the cliffhanger ending from way too early in the book and that annoys me. I'll still give the next book a chance when it's published. ( )

I recently stumbled across The Little Shop of Found Things (the first book in the series) in the "New books" section of my library, so I was delighted to be able to read the second installment so soon after the first! (And to that end, while not needed, I think this book would be more enjoyed from having read the first book.)

In Secrets of the Chocolate House, it is a copper chocolate pot that sings to Xanthe, our time traveler, and quite noisily. In this book, we learn more about time travelers, also called spinners, and Xanthe gets a bit of needed guidance (while we get more information - and are still left with a lot of other questions.)

This book has more tension - from Xanthe's guilt about leaving her ailing mother on her own, and the lies she needs to tell to jump back in time, to her ex-boyfriend showing up, to a threatening presence that more than hints that there is even more to come.

I felt like this book did a lot of explaining as well as set up for future stories, and while helpful, it added to the confusion of ALL that was going on. The history of chocolate houses, saving Samuel, threats/demands from all directions (the ex, the greedy Spinner), the lies, the guilt - Brackston juggles it well, but parts did feel like it was housekeeping to sort out the foundation for future stories at the expense of Samuel.

I'm looking forward to where Brackston will take Xanthe next as she grows into her Spinner abilities. ( )

Enjoyable but some parts were a bit wordy. The closure between Xanthe and Samuel was somewhat bittersweet but necessary and understandable. The ending of this book clearly shows Xanthe's role as a Spinner will continue on. ( )

Oh my I so love this series. I fell in love with Little Shop of Found Things and the world of Xanthe and her mother Flora and their delightful antique shop in the historic town of Marlborough.In book two we pick up with theirs lives and new adventures of Xanthe and time travel back to the seventeenth century which presents her with new challenges and a new advisory.. This is a series once I start reading I can not put down and the ending left me begging for more. ( )
