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!

OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE the characters, the book, the story line EVERY.THING. Like DEATH AND SIGNA sdfajfenfkfnafn I LOVE THEM SO MUCH and they make me so happy and they're so happy!! Also I somehow did NOT think of the ending although it was low key obvious but I was so devastated by Death and Signa that I did not notice! Idk if it was shown in the tapestries but also they already had the connection at the statue like OMG it was so obvious but I was too into it to tell. I literally CAN'T WAIT for Wisteria to come out like AHHHHHH! Fate was kind of a jerk in here but I guess we'll see what happens to him in the next book :) I really liked how the story played out in the end, like how everything unfolded, the murderer was quite unexpected and the reason behind it, I was sad for what happened and also the clues we saw earlier all made sense at the end. I was so immersed into the story and the characters and I'm glad that Blythe and Signa made it through to the end :) I really liked seeing the ghosts in Foxglove and their different stories I think they, especially Amira, helped Signa a lot with her loneliness when she couldn't see Death.

The theme of this book: WOMEN PROTECTING WOMEN. Blythe Hawthorne is a goddamn treasure.

These are one of the very rare occasions where I felt like I loved the second book of a series more than the first. Is there a third? I don't know, I haven't looked it up yet but I'll be disappointed if we don't have one after THAT conclusion. If there was a certain amount of whodunit intrigue in the first one, this one had it amped up.

Someone's poisoned the duke and blamed it on the wrong person, you would never believe who was the real killer! Signa and Blythe are very limited in their time in finding the real culprit in order to free Elijah Hawthorne. This is complicated even more with the arrival of Fate who is trying to find the person reincarnated from his lover, Life, who he believes is Signa. Normally, love triangles annoy me but this one was less of a triangle and more of ... one line trying to intersect the other like a T. It was fairly obvious that one member of that triangle was the intruder, but how his story turned out was a lovely surprise.

I enjoyed the gothic atmosphere in both books, glad to see it didn't stray far from it between this and the first book. We even get an intro to Foxglove, Signa's parents' home and it is just as mysterious if not more haunted. And Adalyn Grace's writing? Chef's Kiss. The description of the settings were rich and vibrant, and the banter between Blythe and other characters was thoroughly enjoyable.

"She didn't care to be a sunflower, unfurling her petals in the daylight for all to see. She would rather be an adorable little mushroom, thriving in the dark crevices where few ventured to look."

Girl, same.

This series is so good!! If you like fantasy romance and mystery it's perfect. I did feel like the beginning of this was a bit slower and took a while to really grab me. The mystery in this one compared to Belladonna was also not as much of a focus and so therefore it wasn't quite as well done.

That being said Death and Signa are everything. Blythe is also so amazing, I'm so glad we got her POV. I wanted to like Fate more, but he annoyed me for most of this book. I'm willing to give him another chance tho...

I am already dying for book 3, cause I think that one is going to make me feral.

3/5 🌶️ (not graphic)
