Fantasy. Paranormal activity. Gothic. Romance. Murder mystery. Morally grey characters. If you feel drawn to any of these themes, the book is for you! Signa is an orphan about to come into her inheritance but death seems to follow her wherever she goes. She finally finds a home and a family but death seems to have found her. The characters are so well written. You genuinely start to love them or hate them in the best way possible. I spent many late nights reading this one because it was hard to put down. But I will say I wouldn’t mind some more explicit spicy time between a certain two characters 👀

it took me a while to really get into the book. it was kind of hard for me to get used to the entire setting and the vibe.
(wich could be because this is normally not what i read… well until now)
yet halfway through this book, i was intrigued, excited and caught by the storyline.
i will definitely continue this series!
loved the third person limited narrative perspective! loved the entire world it took place in!
excited for foxglove!!

I have no idea why this book took me as long as it did. I enjoyed it. It had the perfect blend of suspense and romance.

This was fine. I don’t love mysteries really I’m too impatient and I don’t like thinking too hard. People in reviews are always like “I guessed the twist” and I’m no good at guessing games. instead I had about 8472 theories and one of them was right so do I win????
Anyway maybe predictable but the story was interesting enough.

“Hello, Little Bird. Come to stab me again?”
I love the personification of death as a character/love interest so much, SO MUCH. This story was lush in imagery and I loved the world. Signa is such a strong and interesting character. The whole concept of her being a reaper and immune to death is so cool . The opening chapter/prologue was instantly interesting. I would have also have folded for death, I AM JUST BEING REAL. Death literally had me giggling and twirling my hair. He was so poetically dark and beautiful. The entire mystery and general vibes were so misty and steeped in flavorful imagery. This is for a specific type of person and that person is me. People complain about someone literally as old as time with someone who is barely an adult and I know it's problematic but why are they usually so good? DONT QUOTE ME. Signa and Death are my favorite snarky eternally fated couple.
“Your name is no curse, Little Bird. I just like the taste of it”
“To me, you are a song to a soul that has never known music. Light to someone who has only seen the darkness. You bring out the absolute worst in me, and I become vindictive toward those who treat you in ways I don’t care for. Yet you also bring out the best in me—I want to be better because of you. Better for you.”
“Because I have waited an eternity to meet you, Signa Farrow.”
“And at other times you are an endless annoyance. Always, though, you are a fascination”
“I have waited for you for millennia, Signa Farrow.” There was a silky husk to his voice now, too pleased for his own good. “Since the dawn of this earth, I have waited. You are mine, and I am yours. And together, this world is ours.”

My three favourite genres; Murder Mystery, Horror and Supernatural Romance all in one book.
The beginning is hard to get through and I must admit I struggled to like it at first as it does read very much as a blatant YA book. Its also predictable and cheesy at times, but once you get used to it the writing style is quite endearing and overall an easy and enjoyable read.
