This was fine. I didn’t love it as much as I thought I would. There wasn’t a lot of substance to the plot. I didn’t care that much about the characters and I found it hard to distinguish many of the guys. Overall it was alright. Idk if I’ll continue.

One thing I know about myself is that I love Death personifications. One thing I learned about myself is that I also love when said Death personification is a hottie. 

To say I tore through this book like a madwoman is putting it lightly. I started reading on my Kindle and after page 3 ended up purchasing the physical copy and finished it in 4 days. I wanted to know what happened, and when I wasn't actively reading it I was thinking about the story and where it was going. There were twists and turns and misdirections and I gasped a few times. This story is a perfect mix of mystery, romance, and morbidity. I enjoyed every minute of it and I felt like Signa was an excellent lead character. 

I understand that this book is not for everyone, but it is absolutely for me. I'm very much intrigued by the ending and will absolutely be reading the rest of the series.

Belladonna me sorprendió muchísimo. La ambientación gótica engancha desde el principio y Signa es un personaje que crece un montón a lo largo de la historia. Lo mejor para mí fue su relación con Muerte: oscura, intensa y súper original.
Desde luego no esperaba que el mozo de cuadra y él fuesen el mismo.


El misterio de Blythe me tuvo también todo el libro sospechando de todos, y cuando descubrí que era Percy quien la envenenaba, me quedé a cuadros (le arrancaba esos pelos de pelirrojo venido a más) Y el final, con Signa aceptando a Muerte, pero él dándole espacio para vivir su vida humana
me gustó mucho. 

En resumen: un libro adictivo, con misterio y un romance gótico que se sale de lo típico.

well that's definitely one way to resolve a love triangle

I was very excited to read this, but his book took me forever to read, because I fell into a reading slump, however I’m not sure if it was the fault of the book or the slump, so it was hard to pick back up. 

Despite this, I liked the plot and found it intriguing as I had no idea what was going to happen, and I am definitely interested enough to read the rest of the series.

It was nice to read a book with a gothic aesthetic which is something I’ve not read in awhile. :)
