Publisher's summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author Adalyn Grace delivers a sensational conclusion to the deathly and decadent Belladonna trilogy, with dramatic twists and a seductive new romance that will set listeners' hearts ablaze.

Blythe Hawthorne has never let anyone tell her what to do—not society, not her overprotective father, and certainly not the man she’s bound herself to, no matter how rude and insufferable he is. In fact, she’s determined to be a thorn in his side for the rest of her days, even as he ensures that her life in his palace is anything but a fairytale. But as Blythe discovers a new side of herself linked to his past, she’ll have to decide if she’s willing to let an unexpected spark ignite…and to discover the truth about who she really is.

Blythe, Fate, and a solid ending

4.5 stars ⭐️ Wisteria is a solid ending to the Belladonna series. This is Blythe and Fate’s story. We get answers to the first 2 books, but there were some inconsistencies in the plot lines. I like Blythe’s character. She changed subtly throughout the book. Fate was a strong hero. He fought with Blythe and fought for her. His desperation was gut wrenching. While the ending felt rushed, I enjoyed the story as a whole. I would recommend the series!

So good

Absolutely loved this book, and series. I enjoyed following Blythe’s story this time. Definitely fun and enjoyable, a bit heartbreaking too. Sad to see this series end, but it was so beautifully written.

I’m not crying you’re crying

That ending had my heart hurting and me loudly crying in my bathroom in the middle of the night. But man was it so good. I will be thinking about this ending for a while.

Oh wow!

Such a great trilogy! I listened to them all and loved the voices and the story. This one was a tear-jerker though for me. Oh my heart!

The best of the series!!!

audiobook review🎧: wisteria by adalyn grace

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice rating: 🌶️.5
Audio narrator: Kristen Atherton
• I absolutely love Kristen’s performance of this whole series. Her voice is so dynamic. She manages to make every character sound unique, and truly brought the story to life. I loved it!

🚨no spoilers, but you would want to have read the first two books

• Summary:
Despite her fierce independence and determination to never marry, Blythe has found herself in a marriage of convenience. In order to save her cousin, Blythe has had to marry the man she despises more than any other, but as she explores this new magical world full of mysteries, she finds her and her husband are connected by more than just marriage.

• My thoughts:
This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and it was spectacular.🙌🏼 I have absolutely adored this series, and Wisteria might be my favorite of them all.
Blythe is so fierce and brave, and I loved her bold and stubborn spirit. I was absolutely melting for her chemistry with Aris. Their mutual loathing was so entertaining, and I was nothing short of giddy as their hatred burned into adoration. Aris’s love and grief was so beautifully captured. By the end of this book, I was in absolute pieces and found it nothing short of beautiful. The spice in this book is not explicit, but it builds loads of tension, passion, and longing. I hardly felt like I was missing anything!

Overall, I would urge any romantasy lover to read/listen to this captivating series. It is dark, gothic, wistful, and romantic, with murder mystery and magical elements. It is perfect for anyone who loves books similar to One Dark Window. I will miss Signa, Death, Blythe, and Aris, and have loved their story so much. This book was such a heartbreakingly romantic way to say goodbye to these wonderful characters.

Loved it the best of all the books

Spoilers:


This may be my favorite book I’ve read as far as romances- I was captured from beginning to end. I have one complaint and it is a big one. I wish the author had allowed us the opportunity to spend time with both after the truth came out. I was so upset at the end that we didn’t even get a glimpse of their story once it all came out. I wish we had at least 1 chapter because to me, it felt like it was stolen from us. I hope there will be another book because I’m so invested that I am now depressed that it is over. I loved the beginning and the middle but not so much the end. I will still give it a high rating because the chemistry was exquisite.

Bravo 👏 5 Stars

To the author I want to thank you so much for writing this series - it is perfection!! So beautiful and full of heart. It was incredible to visit all of the towns - simply stunning!! This book and series will stay with me always as one in a million! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Unique and well written.

The plot throughout this series is wonderful! And the narrator was fantastic, a true voice actor.

Heartpulsingly beautiful!

A great story of enemies to lovers! A beautiful look on life and fate and death! The magic of love and loss! Wisteria is beautifully crafted and captures you emotions in many ways! I am very excited for the next in the series! Adalyn has incredible talent!

It sucks you win, and you can’t stop
