Historical Paranormal Gothic Romance! Sign me up!!
Belladonna by Adalyn Grace is a new favorite read for the year and I am so happy that I read this one. Itโs a 2023 must read! Belladonna is a dark romantic gothic fairytale. This book is a wonderful dark fantasy with mystery and slow burn romance. It is a slow burn with MILD spice. Belladonna opens readers up to a gothic-infused story filled with Death, curses, desire, and betrayal. Ghosts, mystery, 1800โs society. The gothic, creepy atmosphere was so well written, and the characters were fabulous. Dark, and at times creepy, but filled with love and family. Death is the most swoon-worthy character, and I can't get enough of his and Signa's relationship. I loved Signa, she is strong, stubborn, persistent, helpful and kind. The ending was so good and surprising! I can't wait for the next book!
Quotes:
"He laughed. The sound was low and melodic, and it had his shadows writhing. โYour name is no curse, Little Bird. I just like the taste of it.โ
โBecause death is only a reprieve for the dead, Mr. Thorly. It cares little for those it leaves behind.โ
โGrief is a strange thing, Percy, for no two people experience it the same.โ
โDo not change the parts of yourself that you like to make others comfortable. Do not try to mold yourself to fit the standards someone else has set for us.โ
โItโs exhausting,โ Signa said as she looked down to her lap, โto pretend you are somethingโsomeoneโyouโre not.โ
โThere was nothing she hated more than people, and nothing she loved more than attention. A true conundrum.โ

Just received the Fairyloot addition of the book! GORGEOUS, absolutely gorgeous.
