Enchanted Hot Chocolate

This was an "enchanting" novel...
The authors use an interesting format...
They actually wrote letters to each other using an identities of cousins Cecilia and Kate, girls from an alternate reality (Victorian England with a magical twist.)  Think Charlotte Bronte or Jane Austen meets Harry Potter...  At first, the format was confusing to me, but by four or five letters I got into it and really did enjoy it. 

 

An intelligent story with smart female characters,

AND

it has three of my favorite things in it

English period romance,

Magical/Sci-Fi,

and especially hot chocolate!

Patricia C. Wrede, one of the authors has a new book out called The Thirteenth Child which looks to be another interesting read.
