This book is the sequel to Winterhouse, not only consisting of similar elements to the first book, I believe it is almost as good. Elisabeth is back at Winterhouse, this time, for good. After reuniting with Freddy, and finding out his parents did not come that time like they said they would, Freddy shows Elizabeth his new project, a camera obscure. This book is almost a perfect repeat of the first, with a few changes. For one, all the characters are a year older, and Elizabeth is trying to train to be a librarian. Also. You know more about the background if you read the first book. I also like that a difference of the way chapter tiles are placed. First book it is word ladders and second book it is anagrams. I would recommend this book to people who like puzzles and/or liked the first book. I also recommend you read the books in order, as it makes more sense that way.

The Secrets of Winterhouse
By Ben Guterson
Bookish puzzles, phantom mysteries, and evil curses await as Elizabeth returns to Winterhouse in Book 2 of this magical series.
Back at the Winterhouse hotel for another holiday season, Elizabeth and Freddy dig deeper into the mystery surrounding Riley S. Granger, a hotel guest who left behind odd artifacts―one being a magical book that the evil Gracella Winters once attempted to use to gain destructive power over the entire Falls lineage. The two friends follow a trail of clues, inadvertently attracting the attention of a suspicious new hotel guest: Elana Vesper. The clock is ticking as Elizabeth and Freddy struggle to figure out whether Elana is merely a pawn or a player in the plot to revive the spirit of Gracella. If that wasn’t enough, Elizabeth suspects she is coming into her own special powers―and she’s fearful it might lead her right into Gracella’s vicious web. Mystery, adventure, and a winning friendship combine in this much anticipated sequel.

This is the second book in the Winterhouse series. It is very good and it has the same elements as the first book, Winterhouse, which are mystery, suspense, and adventure. It is a really good book.
I read this book because I read the first one in the series and I loved it. This book is so good. I recommend this book because it is full of mystery and so exciting. You should read this book.
