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.

her cousin is dying but sure, take a moment to boink death on the non-corporal plane while all the other souls are crossing the rainbow bridge.

and yeah, just let percy get away with being a matricidal/sororicidal little shit. i would have told blythe who tried to kill her and who did kill her mother, told elijah who killed his wife and tried to kill his daughter. screw pretence. 

Death being Sylas sucked and was such a cop out. I hate love triangles but it was <i>too</i> easy and Signa didn’t have to make a choice because it was made for her.
