The Secret Service of Tea and Treason
The Secret Service of Tea and Treason | India Holton
9 posts | 7 read | 8 to read
Two rival spies must brave pirates, witches, and fake matrimony to save the Queen. Known as Agent A, Alice is the top operative within the Agency of Undercover Note Takers, a secret government intelligence group that is fortunately better at espionage than at naming itself. From managing deceptive witches to bored aristocratic ladies, nothing is beyond Alices capabilities. She has a steely composure and a plan always up her sleeve (alongside a dagger and an embroidered handkerchief). So when rumors of an assassination plot begin to circulate, shes immediately assigned to the case. But shes not working alone. Daniel Bixby, otherwise known as Agent B and Alice's greatest rival, is given the most challenging undercover assignment of his life pretending to be Alices husband. Together they will assume the identity of a married couple, infiltrate a pirate house party, and foil their unpatriotic plans. Determined to remain consummate professionals, Alice and Daniel must ignore the growing attraction between them, especially since acting on it might prove more dangerous than their target.

This book was entirely bonkers in all the best ways! Pirates flying houses, a secret agency secret even from the government, witches incanting in Latin…and that‘s just the beginning. The writing is relentlessly witty, with an undercurrent of sweetness and p poetic romance that touches the heart. The MCS are an absolute delight, and I rooted for them all the way. An enormously fun read that made me want to read more from India Holton.

Starting this on a cozy Saturday — a gift from a delightful friend. Hoping that I don‘t need to have read the other two previous…

For the 4th day of Christmas, I‘m choosing this one as my favorite of April. I love this trilogy, so much that I reread the first 2 later in the year. It‘s a fun book. #12booksof2023 @Andrew65

Andrew65 Love the sound of this one. 3mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

I enjoyed “The Secret Service of Tea and Treason”, and I liked it more than the previous “The League of Gentlewomen Witches”. However, “The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels” still maintains itself as my favorite of the series. I loved all of the characters, humor, and shenanigans that this world presented.

This the 3rd & last of this series. I bought it as soon as I could make it to the bookstore because this trilogy makes me laugh. I think I enjoyed the first 2 a little more, but this one is still fun, full of euphemisms & metaphors about sex that are lol, & has some mystery. I love the characters & inventive premise.

TheAromaofBooks I definitely want to read this one - I enjoyed the first two books a lot. And these covers are just PERFECT! 10mo
Scochrane26 @TheAromaofBooks The covers are great. A friend borrowed the first in the series from me, when she returns it, I‘m planning to reread them. The humor sets them apart from other romance/mysteries. 10mo
TheAromaofBooks I just remember the blurb on the first book said “delightfully bonkers“ and after I read it I was like - that's EXACTLY how I would describe this book!! 😂 10mo

Two rival agents are forced to go undercover as a married pair of pirates to investigate the whereabouts of a weapon intended to kill Queen Victoria in this third and final book in India Holton‘s Dangerous Damsels series. I found the setting limiting and the plot dragged for me, but the steam in this installment was the steamiest of the three, I loved the neurodivergence rep too, and Holton‘s physical comedy always gets me.
