Belladonna by Adalyn Grace
5.0

Imagine Bridgerton, only gothic, where Death is the leading man, and ghosts are real. Signa, our leading lady who wants nothing more than to make her debut into polite society, instead grows into herself as she tries to protect her ailing cousin from poison, under pressure from the ghost of her aunt, who was similarly poisoned.

Honestly, there are some truly dazzling moments of yearning and romance (the dance in the red dress! And other such moments I shan't spoil...). Thrilling power and ruthless determination are showcased, until the truth bleeds over the pages in a suitably dramatic end.

The epilogue has me itching to start the sequel!
