Foxglove by Adalyn Grace

4.0

Foxglove follows on the heels of Belladonna and gives as much intrigue, but the story’s complexity loses a bit of its magic. Grace had to make room for Signa Farrow to continue her story with Death while creating a storyline for Blythe Hawthorne, now resurrected from near-death thanks to Signa’s sleuthing. Enter Fate, a contemptible character whose tapestries tied up this story for me. I still loved this book. I listened to the audiobook which has an excellent performer in Kristin Atherton (who also performed Belladonna). The mix of characters and their storylines drew the attention away from Signa and Death which I guess is where I wanted the focus to stay. Fate was interesting but also annoying. There was the murder mystery subplot which was barely attended to, and the main focus became a love triangle of sorts between Signa, Death, and his brother Fate. A very entertaining listen. I’m still totally wrapped up in the series. More paranormal elements in this book than the last & I can see where the author allowed herself the freedom to play a bit. I recommend this series for teens & adults even though it’s YA.
