Summary
A spellbinding novel of bloodlines, self-discovery, and redemption by the author of the Washington Post bestseller The Vine Witch.
Abandoned as a child in turn-of-the-century Paris, Yvette Lenoir has longed to uncover the secrets of her magical heritage and tap her suppressed powers. But what brave and resourceful Yvette has done to survive the streets has made her a fugitive. With a price on her head, she clings to a memento from her past - what she believes to be a grimoire inherited from the mother she never knew. To unlock the secrets of her past, Yvette trusts in one woman to help solve the arcane riddles among its charmed pages.
Elena Boureanu is the vine witch of Château Renard, noted for its renowned wines. Even as she struggles with her own bloodline - and its poisonous threat to her future - Elena can't ignore a friend on the run. Joined by a cunning thief, the proprietor of an enchanted-curio shop, and a bewitching black cat, Elena and Yvette are determined to decode Yvette's mysterious keepsake. But what restless magic will be unleashed? And what are Yvette and Elena willing to risk to become the witches they were destined to be?

Good book!
Loved the story but not sure why there's an American narrator. Doesn't seem right for the story.

A beautiful and enchanting story
Really loved this story, probably more than The Vine Witch, but both are very good.
The narrator was excellent. The story was fabulous, and I could clearly imagine all the people and places described in a magical Paris.
These books would make fabulous films!
Thoroughly enjoyable and would definitely recommend👍

Super narration of an enchanting tale
This second book lives up to all the promise of the first as the story of Yvette unfolds. Add in Susannah Jones' wonderful narration, her ability to capture the essence of the characters and accent, and you have a book that is a joy to both listen to and read. Really looking forward to the next chapter in this tale.

Enchanting
This book was as well written and enchanting as the first book. It was a pleasure to follow Yvette journey of self discovery. Susannah Jones’ performance, as always, was outstanding.

The Performance is Good the Story is Lacking
A good background noise book. However, the story struggles with pacing, character motivations (the characters are pretty one dimensional and just seem to randomly do and exist for what the plot requires) and things just happen to resolve themselves. There is never any sort of tension since any trouble is resolved in a blink of an eye and isn't earned. The inclusion of Elena seemed forced and her secondary plot was baffling and so inconsequential I had to wonder why it was even included.
The narrator, however, is solid and gives a good performance. It is the same narrator from the first book.
