This is the first book by H.Y. Hanna I have read. It will not be the last. I will certainly be getting the rest of this series. What a delightful story!
Caitlyn decides to try and learn about her birth parents and ventures off to a tiny English village to hopefully discover her background, against the advice of her best friend. Upon arriving she finds there is no room at the only inn. She is sent to inquire at and takes a room above a chocolate shop. This shop is owned and operated by a local witch!
She meets all sorts of unusual characters-including a toothless vampire who insists he is there to protect her. Meanwhile a murder has been committed and Caitlyn is bound and determined to figure out who did it.
Does she find her lost relatives? What else does she find out? Be sure to pick up this fast reading book--and drool over the descriptions of the chocolate!!
