Secrets of the Starlit Sea {Review}

That’s what it’s all about. You’re here because you chose to be here. You chose all the obstacles and challenges because you needed to grow. Before you came down here, you worked out a plan. Whether you’ve stuck to that plan is anyone’s guess. But you had a plan. A list of things you needed to do, people you needed to have relationships with, things you needed to experience. Well that’s what I believe.

In a nutshell

When Pixie Tate (a psychic detective) is commissioned to rid the opulent Aldeshoff Hotel of a dark spirit wreaking havoc within its walls, she must travel back in time. As she slips back 100 years she’s shocked to find herself in the middle of one of the most famous historical events. With time running out she comes face-to-face with a man she thought she had lost forever and finds herself torn between her mission and her heart.

Book Club Notes

This is the second book in Santa Montefiore’s timeslider series. Despite not having read the first book, I didn’t feel lost. The plot was interesting, I loved the historical aspect and the book was very readable but the “twist” was obvious and the writing and character creation lacked a special something to make it stand out as a great read. Would I read the third book? While I’m curious to see what happens to Pixie next, I won’t be upset if I don’t.
