💜there’s so much to say! & that’s even keeping it spoiler free
💜okay I gotta say the second half reallllly did it for me & the last 50-100 pages I gasped out loud more than once
💜the beginning was pretty good but like I said the second half was *so good* I couldn’t put it down
💜I really enjoyed Signa as the FMC, she has been passed from relative to relative after her parents died when she was very young. Signa can see spirits & can see Death, who is a reaper of these spirits.
💜Signa is brought to Thorn Grove where the Hawthorne family lives:: Elijah and his son Percy and daughter Blythe (along with many workers). His wife/their mother tragically passed away BUT Signa learns that she needs to investigate what happened & why Blythe is suspiciously very sick too…
💜this book follows Signa trying to unravel the mystery & geez I found myself questioning every little thing trying to figure it out 😭 I love a good mystery & this didn’t disappoint. I was left like this 😲 when ~everything~ came to light at the end of the book
💜you also get to see Signa interact with the people at Thorn Grove, I enjoyed her getting to build relationships after feeling so lonely for so long.
💜Signa learns so much about herself, her family, about those around her, and can she do more than just see & speak to spirits after all?
💜her encounters with Death just get better & better each time—he’s so protective of her & cares so much for her. some of the quotes I’m like ugh 😩🫶🏼
💜there were some parts mostly noticeable in the first half of the book where I didn’t like the writing/sentence structure or something. It would at times feel disjointed, but like I said the second half I didn’t notice it & the writing just got better & better
~
💜for real, it is hard to not go on & on AND not to spoil anything so I’ll just leave it at that—I highly recommend this book. It was exciting, it has a romance, it keeps you on your toes & guessing, I’m excited to read the next ☺️
