I’ve continued on my murder mystery exploration but this time set in a paranormal gothic fantasy and yes it was a hit.
Signa has been haunted by death since she was a child, loosing all those around her, but she is finally standing up to him, it helps that she can’t seem to die so it’s an easy fight to have.
However when she arrives at Thorn Grove she find she must work to save her carers/family and this time death seems to be on her side.
I really loved this book, the premise was so unique and who doesn’t love a mysterious, dark and handsome man (even if he is the grim reaper).
The plot kept twisting so that I never saw the killer coming and had many a “oh what!” moment. The banter between Death and Signa was spot on and there was some great slow burn angst to keep you flipping through the chapters.
I did find a couple of parts more horror-movie-esque that my sensitive little mind didn’t love but the book still kept me hooked.
We were left on not so much a cliffhanger but an introduction into the next mystery which was great, including the intro into a new character who I can’t wait to learn more about.
Lucky I have the sequel Foxglove ready to go!
