The Garden of Promises and Lies by Paula Brackston

I have very few series that I have fallen completely in love with, but this is definitely one of them! I can still remember seeing the beautiful cover of The Little Shop of Found Things (Book 1) and wanting it on sight. Xanthe and her mother move to the small town of Wiltshire to open an antique shop. Xanthe has always been drawn to antiques and has the unique ability to hear certain pieces "singing" to her. After a chance encounter with one such antique in the first book draws her unexpectedly into the past, Xanthe has been practicing her ability since, finding out by a friend and former traveler that it's called "time spinning". She found a book for spinners in the second book, which is helping her learn to control her ability. But she's not the only spinner, and a very evil man, Benedict Fairfax, had followed her back to the present, putting her and her family in danger to try and steal the book. Her newest antique, a beautiful wedding dress, draws her to 1815, where Fairfax is engaged to marry a young heiress. Xanthe must find a way to keep the book of Spinners from him and stealing his own artifact, an astrolabe that might help her interpret the book.
This book ended on a huge cliffhanger. I can't wait to find out what happens next! I've had the privilege of reviewing each of the books in this series through NetGalley. Thank you so much to Paula Brackston and St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to read this book.
