Belladonna (noun)
[bel-uh-don-uh]
Known as ‘deadly nightshade’ and, ‘witches berry’, it holds potent poison within its delicate black petals and when given the opportunity to, can intoxicate an individual till death.

belladonna is a novel that explores both the chilling price of immortality and the depth of love that transcends the boundaries between life and death.

꒰ ﹟ plot
lurking in the shadowed halls of the farrow estate, where ghosts walk the floors and secrets entwine like webs, lies signa farrow. rumoured to be trailed by a dark presence and bound to her cursed lineage, signa finds herself plagued by the death of her relatives and amidst the shadows that cling to thorn grove, she is thrust into an unfamiliar world, both captivating and cruel. as signa navigates her new home, she uncovers unique abilities linked to the one thing she longs to escape: death itself.
"You are not cursed-you are a reaper. You are the night incarnate, the ferrier of souls. You are the bridge between the living and the dead—a caged bird that's ready to fly."

i overall enjoyed the mystery aspect of the plot, following signa unravel the dark secrets stashed beneath high society, although it lacked something that i cant quite put my finger on.
