In the follow-up to Belladonna, Signa must deal with the developments when someone new comes to Thorn Grove and a new murder forces her to put her crime-solving skills to the test.
A lot of second books tend to suffer from a sequel slump, but this one absolutely did NOT. I loved Foxglove from start to finish, and ultimately even preferred it to Belladonna. There isn’t a ton I can say about the plot without spoiling one or both books, but a certain new character is EVERYTHING to me, and I adored seeing a different character flourish and getting to read her POV.
I did guess the major twists, but for me that is part of the joy—Adalyn Grace does such a good job of laying the right amount of breadcrumbs so you can guess at an outcome without feeling like anything is too obvious. This one also ended up EXACTLY how I wanted it to, and did a perfect job setting up book three. I know it’s a full year away, but I already cannot wait for Wisteria!
Recommended to anyone, but especially if you like: morally grey love interests, Bridgerton but make it a murder mystery, baby foxes who are total scene stealers
CW: Death/murder/blood; mentions of child death; grief

Foxglove is another thoroughly enjoyable installment in this series. Gothic, romantic, with tense moments as well as laugh out loud scenes, it really is best all around! Can’t wait for the upcoming Wisteria, especially after that ending! 🤭
