A review by jeannine
The Cocoa Conspiracy by Andrea Penrose

4.0

Our badass chocolate addicts are chasing down assassins in Vienna this time. I enjoy Andrea Penrose’s style so much that I kind of laugh at how sugar-obsessed she makes the leads in this series (another reviewer found it tedious). This installment is heavy on action, with Arianna flirting, sneaking, and even reprising her chef role from the last book.

I love the use of Spanish language and characters (even household staff) with Spanish backgrounds. So many books set in this time almost ignore Spain completely.

I’m glad I’m reading when the next book is available...the ending sets you up to want to start the next book in the series immediately.
