this was lovely.

well written and nicely plotted out, filled with well done characters.

it had some pacing issues since some sections were really slow and especially the climax and big reveal all happened to fast and basically all at once and the lead up to those final reveal moments felt rushed -almost as if the author remembered that the book had to end now and it all had to be solved and revealed still.

but while i think those moments could have been done better i didn’t kind the slow moments and the long build up.

i enjoyed Signa as a character a lot and absolutely loved Death!

i didn’t love the ending

cliffhangers for this type of story isn’t my favorite. i would prefer it if authors just make me want to pick up the next book because i want to be back with the characters and experience a new thing with them instead of being left with this open ending of sorts.

but it wasn’t horrible just not my preferred way.

all in all very enjoyable and a good experience and i am excited to continue on and see what Signa will experience next.

A YA mystery pseudo romance with an anthropormophized version of Death. I kept expecting her to ask for Death's real name. I feel like a lot of books I've read recently somehow all end up set in a somewhat haunted giant old manor with a mystery and a vague enemies to lovers (thinking in particular of "House of Marionne"). Other than the fact that Death himself was a main character, I didn't find this all that dark or gothic. I thought the mystery was better developed than the romance.
