Another great installment in the Belladonna series! I thought this book did a really great job at expanding on what we already had from the first book. It genuinely added more character depth and explanation for Signa’s powers and her relationship with Death, which I greatly appreciated!

At first when the book got rolling I became very nervous with the added introduction of Fate. I did not want it to end up being an ACOTAR situation where the first man we get introduced to ends up not being the person our FMC ends up with or that Death was actually a toxic man. Luckily, the ending of this book wraps everything up very nicely and everything makes perfect sense in the end. I found myself pleasantly surprised that I actually did not see the twist at the end coming. Adalyn does a really good job at keeping the audience guessing all the way up until the end, and then making everything fit together nicely like a puzzle.


I really liked learning more about Signa’s past and understanding the scope of her powers on a much deeper level. It was very interesting and only deepened the world building we see in this series, which I thought was brilliant. I am excited to learn even more about the powers in the third book.

I also loved the added POV of Blythe. It was interesting to be able to get more insight into her process of thinking and how she reacted to learning about Signa’s powers and what happened to Percy.
I loved seeing her character development and her ultimate realization that her cousin was not the enemy in this situation. Seeing what she did for Signa in the end was amazing and the twist really made it even better. I cannot wait to see the enemies to lovers trope with Fate and Blythe in the next book!


Overall, I thought this was another fantastic installment in the series. Adalyn did a great job at expanding on her original ideas while also adding a fresh element and the introduction of new characters to the series. I am very excited to read the third book! I rate this book 5/5 stars! 🌟
