I have been wanting to be get to this book for awhile now since it’s been on my shelves for a little over a year, and Belladonna did not disappoint! I loved the who-done-it aspects of the book when it came to figuring out the murderer and their motives bc I was pleasantly surprised when it came to the reveal and the way it happened. And can we talk about the love interest Death 🤭 Signa really lucked out with him bc he does NOT play about his girl fr AHHH I was obsessed with those two.

Once she is taken in as a ward at her cousin's home, Signa realizes that death is coming for her cousin, Blythe. Using every weapon at her disposal, and determined to find out who's behind her Blythe's sickness, it's a race against time. But murder, poisonings, and betrayal aren't the only things in store for Signa. 

This story is full of ghosts and murder, with a surprising romantic aspect to it.

Gothic, historical murder mystery with well developed characters and interesting plot. The FMC, Signa is able to see spirits and even Death himself.

When Signa’s aunt dies, she is sent to live with her uncle and cousins at Thorn Grove where she stumbles upon a murder mystery.

Belladonna is a great book full of twists and turns, mysteries and some romance.

I can’t wait to read more.
