📖
I had a wonderful time reading this book. I think it was a good sequel -- I think it carried on the overall storyline and plot while still being its own book.

I adored the characters. It was nice seeing more of Blythe, and Signa was good. I liked Death, and I had a good time reading about Fate. I liked the relationships -- Signa and Blythe, Signa and Death, and Blythe and Fate. I loved the the snark and bantering between Blythe and Fate.  The writing was good, and the pacing varied a little, but I enjoyed it overall.

I lovedddd this book and thought it was a great sequel to Belladonna and in my personal opinion, even better than the first book 🤭 I enjoyed the murder mystery aspect and how several theories as the story progressed and the ones I got right have me very excited for the next installment of the series bc I cannot wait to see what the author has in store for the characters especially

Blythe and Fate

!! Wisteria is gonna be a new anticipated read this year and August needs to come ASAP!

Yes I can confirm the second book was just as good as the first. Of course it would be because now we have two bad ass FMMs (Signa and Blythe) and 2 morally grey MMMs (Death and Fate), duh! Consider this my application to live in Foxglove please! The storyline and world building is chefs kiss. All the details from the descriptions of their dresses, to how the wallpaper looks and the gory details of the ghosts make it, so it’s almost like you’re playing a movie in your head. Love these characters so much because it feels like you know them after reading this book. I read the physical and listened to the audiobook and the narrator was 10 out of 10.

“Foxglove” draggggged! It wasn’t until the last three or so hours of the audiobook that things started picking up and getting interesting. Definitely suffers from Second Book Syndrome—just a way to push the plot from Book 1 to Book 3 for the conclusion.

While I could guess where the story was going to end I very much enjoyed the journey there. I can’t wait to learn more about Life Death and Fate and how Signa fits in with all of that. Blythe gets some POVs too and I enjoyed them

I would give this 10 stars if I could! Big loves. I didn’t think this would be better than the first book, Belladonna, but it absolutely positively was!! 10/10
