5/5 stars
Secrets of the Starlit Sea is the 2nd book in the Timeslider Series, it features Pixie Tate and solidifies why Santa Montefiore is one of my go-to authors.
This series began with Shadows in the Moonlight, a great introduction to Pixie and her unusual gift - the ability to slip through time to help spirits resolve unfinished business. I highly recommend going back to the beginning, but this could be read on its own, there is somethings carried over.
In this book things begin when a feisty 98 year-old woman pulls out a Ouija board, she wants to summon her father and discover the location of a priceless jewel, but instead she has summoned a rather disgruntled spirit. And thus the action begins.
As Pixie slips back through time searching for answers, she finds herself transported to a real moment in history. I won't say when exactly since the blurb keeps it a mystery also. Immersed in a world of immense wealth, forbidden love and a glittering society. She has to be careful navigating her role knowing even the smallest action can risk changing history.
Secrets of the Starlet Sea was a captivating read, it was atmospheric with vivid descriptions of the era, mysterious and heartbreaking. With this being a planned trilogy, I can't wait to see what happens next for Pixie Tate.
My thanks to Simon & Schuster CA for a print ARC in exchange for a honest review.
