“A deliciously deadly gothic romance. Full of poisonous deeds, spectacular secrets, and dark mysteries. Belladonna is a hauntingly atmospheric read, with an absolutely fantastic ending that will leave readers begging for more.”

—Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Kingdom of the Wicked series

“Darkly twisted and deliciously gothic, Belladonna is the kind of wicked fairy tale I've loved for most of my life. Grace's world is vivid and sexy. The romance and the relationships are pitch perfect, and I fully expect readers to fall headfirst into Signa's morally complex world, just as I did."

Such a perfect addition to the series

Holly is cherry on top of the series. Cute, comfy, but still has that element that pulls you right into the magic. Loved it

Beautiful writing as usual

I highly anticipated this book and it more than delivered. The voice actor is incredible. Very talented. Excellent addition to the belladonna series. Hauntingly beautiful and very descriptive. Feel like I’m in the story in every book.

I adore this series!

If you love the other books in this series as much as I do, then of course, this book is a must. The perfect read for a cozy Winters night or at Christmas time. And not to give anything away, but I will say, I'm excited that there will be another book in the series. This is one of my favorite series and I look forward to reading the next book and hopefully finding Signa solving her greatest mystery yet.

Just what I needed this week ❤️

Returned to one of my favorite gothic worlds and loved every single second. Holly has ghosts, a twisty mystery, and the BEST characters.

The audiobook narrator? Absolutely phenomenal. And yes, I’m still flipping through my physical copy because the art is too stunning to miss.

This was so good!

But will there be more? Aris is an IDIOT for keeping Blythe in the dark (obviously). And Signa does what she always does, helping the sprits find their purpose and move on. And Death! Good thing he showed up when he did! I really did like this.
