Belladonna by Adalyn Grace

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

OMG OMG OMG!!!! So this book has been on my TBR since the Scream Into The Void girlies told me about it… and they were not lying, this book was STUNNING. 

I’m so happy that I read this book. 
It had all the amazing things a book can have: a badass main character, a murder mystery, paranormal fantasy, romance with the mysterious Death, betrayals and twists that will make you jump and run around the room (I did), and beautiful imagery of Thorn Grove !!!!!! 

The murder mystery had me so stressed… I honestly did not call the ending. Well part of it … hehehehehehe 

The romance between Death and Signa … HAWT but also I love them together. They are just two lonely people (not really but just go with it) that found someone who they truly connect with and feel cared for by. 

Have I not convinced you yet? 
Ok… well put on those headphones and turn on Hozier … it will transport you. 

During the ball when Signa is wearing her red dress, I picture the song “I Hear A Symphony” by Cody Fry playing. Just play that with headphones on as you read that chapter and the vibes are unmatched. 


THE ENDING WTF?!?! Omg, I have so many thoughts and so many feelings!!!!! 
Marjorie not being the bad guy shook me because from the start, she was suspicious to me. Anyway, Percy being so evil and twisted and horrible was probably more of a shock to me than it should have been. He wasn’t the perfect son or perfect sibling, but I thought he was salvageable? Lol what else? Fate just showing up at the end… I did see that one coming. I mean they kept mentioning him. The one thing I did guess was that Sylas and Death are one and the same. I called that once I kept reading how they interacted with Signa.
