Belladonna
1 MILLION COPIES SOLD in the #1 New York Times bestselling series that brings to life a highly romantic, Gothic-infused world of wealth, desire, and betrayal.
Orphaned as a baby, nineteen-year-old Signa has been raised by a string of guardians, each one more interested in her wealth than her well-being--and each has met an untimely end. Her remaining relatives are the elusive Hawthornes, an eccentric family living at Thorn Grove, an estate both glittering and gloomy. Its patriarch mourns his late wife through wild parties, while his son grapples for control of the family's waning reputation, and his daughter suffers from a mysterious illness. But when their mother's restless spirit appears claiming she was poisoned, Signa realizes that the family she depends on could be in grave danger, and enlists the help of a surly stable boy to hunt down the killer.
However, Signa's best chance of uncovering the murderer is an alliance with Death himself, a fascinating, dangerous shadow who has never been far from her side. Though he's made her life a living hell, Death shows Signa that their growing connection may be more powerful--and more irresistible--than she ever dared imagine.

Readers say *Belladonna* by Adalyn Grace features hauntingly beautiful writing, a compelling murder mystery, and a unique, intriguing portrayal of Dea...
Signa has had a rough upbringing that includes a trail of bodies. Every guardian she’s had has died from various causes and Signa believes she is responsible. When she learns about her connection to Death himself she can’t help but feel a earning to know about him and why he has chosen her to torment for as long as she can remember.
The relationship Signa has with death is definitely the most intriguing part of this novel. Each scene with the two of them is done so well and I definitely recommend the audio to really get a true feel for Death.
Death is not the only mysterious man in Signa’s current life. Silas claims to be a simple stable hand but his demeanor and dress leads Signa to believe he’s not who he says he is.
This was so so good and I can’t wait for more. I definitely recommend it! Adalyn Grace is quickly becoming an auto-buy author for me!
I was starting to have DNF thoughts and looked through review of other readers that didn't enjoy this, and with what i read i skimmed through the book to judge for myself and they were right!
The love interest, Death, is grooming the mc Signa.
I was somehow blindfully trusting the author with this love interest when i read the 1st chapter where we learn they know each other since she's 2 months old.
I blindfully trusted the author again through the cheesy writing, mostly coming from the mc's pick me girl tendencies (specially toward the awful behavior of the two love interests).
That's how much i wanted to love this, BECAUSE OF THE CONCEPT.
And my favorite character, Blythe? Didn't see much of her, unless it was useful to finally move the plot along, or have some type of situation between Death and the mc.
Utterly disappointed.
So yeah, i've read until around the 200 mark and i'm not interested in reading the last 200 pages.
