Kaitlyn‘s review of Foxglove (Belladonna, Book 2) by Adalyn Grace
Historical Paranormal Young Adult published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers 22 Aug 23

Belladonna was one of my favorite books last year – I own number of editions of the book. The 1800’s gothic murder mystery vibes were everything, and I was obsessed with the love story with Death. So, of course, Foxglove was one of my most anticipated reads this year.

It took me a hot minute to really get into Foxglove. The plot isn’t as gripping as the first book, and there isn’t nearly enough of Death for me. But I was incredibly happy with how things ended, and I’m really excited for Book 3, Wisteria.

Also, how beautiful is the Barnes and Noble naked hardcover of Foxglove?! I’m really sad I don’t have a matching B&N Belladonna edition. I can’t wait for my Fairyloot Foxglove to get here, though. There’s no such thing as owning too many editions of one book, right?

Grade: B+

Summary:

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.
