Synopsis
The captivating sequel to the Gothic-infused Belladonna, in which Signa and Death face a supernatural foe determined to tear them apart.
A duke has been murdered. The lord of Thorn Grove has been framed. And Fate, the elusive brother of Death, has taken up residence in a sumptuous estate nearby. He’s hellbent on revenge after Death took the life of the woman he loved many years ago…and now he’s determined to have Signa for himself, no matter the cost.
Signa and her cousin Blythe are certain that Fate can save Elijah Hawthorne from prison if they will entertain his presence. But the more time the girls spend with Fate, the more frightening their reality becomes as Signa exhibits dramatic new powers that link her to Fate’s past. With mysteries and danger around every corner, the cousins must decide if they can trust one another as they navigate their futures in high society, unravel the murders that haunt their family, and play Fate’s unexpected games—all with their destinies hanging in the balance.
Thoughts
I don’t say this lightly: The first two books in this series are my top two favorite fantasy reads of the past year. So, as you can imagine, I eagerly anticipate Wisteria, the next book in the Belladonna series, which is set to be published next month.
Having just finished this book, I am still drunk on the spellbinding story. Signa is a badass FMC, and I love the way the author personifies Death and Fate. The world-building and facets of mystery add depth to this beautiful tale.
If you love a dark and witchy romantasy, add this to your TBR and let me know what you think!

“’You are mine.’ The words were not possession, but a promise. ‘For as long as you’ll have me, you are mine, Signa Farrow. I will burn this world to cinders before I let anyone take you from me.’”
