Foxglove
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 palace nearby. He's hell-bent 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 wrongful imprisonment, if the girls will entertain Fate's presence. But the more time they spend with him, 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 whom they can trust 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.
Daring, suspenseful, and seductive, this sequel to Death and Signa's story is as utterly romantic as it is perfectly deadly.

So here we are, back with Signa and her boyfriend, Death. Yes, THE Death. Let’s pause and acknowledge that Signa has officially set the bar for bad boyfriends so high that no mortal man can compete. Sorry, Chad, but do you control the passage between life and death? Didn’t think so.
The plot kicks off with a murder mystery and spirals into high-society scandal, supernatural angst, and the introduction of Fate—Death’s bitter, revenge-obsessed brother. Because apparently, Death didn’t have enough enemies already. Fate, bless his broody heart, spends the book acting like an Instagram influencer trying too hard to prove he’s “not like other immortals.”
Signa, meanwhile, is developing new powers, which is great, except they come with zero instructions and a side of existential dread. Watching her fumble through this is like watching someone try to assemble Ikea furniture without the manual: chaotic, occasionally hilarious, and more than a little stressful.
The Gothic vibes? Chef’s kiss. The estate settings are draped in enough shadowy opulence to make even Dracula jealous. The romance between Signa and Death? Still deliciously messy, though Fate’s meddling adds a whole new layer of “Oh no, she didn’t.”
This book is a wild, dramatic ride that delivers on the romance, mystery, and supernatural chaos we signed up for. Perfect for fans of toxic immortals, murder, and just the right amount of existential dread.
To start, I ATE UP THE FIRST HALF OF THIS BOOK! I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN! I LOVEEE a love triangle and it was done so well. There was so much suspense and mystery in the beginning of this book and I loved where I thought it was going to lead. The vibes were immaculate and Signa's character growth and evolution were amazing. To be honest, I'm only here for Signa, Death and the spooky, gothic vibes Belladonna gave me so keep that in mind.
In the second half of Foxglove, it lacks all of those factors. Suddenly Signa takes the backseat and all the attention switches to Blythe and her POV's which are honestly so boring and hard to read. I ended up skimming through the last few chapters that were Blythe's POV to get to the good parts aka Signa's POV. Also, there simply isn't enough Death in this book and he seems so... weak now? He shows up for a minute, kisses Signa, and then leaves. What is the point? Why diminish him and the character that was built? I prefer Belladonna to be a stand-alone rather than neglect the two characters that made the whole book worth reading.
If I find the motivation to finish this book I will update my rating but as of right now it's gonna have to be 3 stars and that is being generous due to Blythe's awful and annoying POV's that are turning me away from Foxglove.
