Summary
For as long as Signa Farrow has been alive, the people in her life have fallen like stars....
Orphaned as a baby, 19-year-old Signa has been raised by a string of guardians, each more interested in her wealth than her wellbeing—and each has met an untimely end. Her remaining relatives are the elusive Hawthornes, an eccentric family living at Thorn Grove, an estate both glittering and gloomy.
Its patriarch mourns his late wife through wild parties, while his son grapples for control of the family's waning reputation and his daughter suffers from a mysterious illness. But when their mother's restless spirit appears claiming she was poisoned, Signa realises that the family she depends on could be in grave danger, and enlists the help of a surly stable boy to hunt down the killer.
Signa's best chance of uncovering the murderer, though, is an alliance with Death himself, a fascinating, dangerous shadow who has never been far from her side. Though he's made her life a living hell, Death shows Signa that their growing connection may be more powerful—and more irresistible—than she ever dared imagine.
From New York Times bestselling author Adalyn Grace, Belladonna brings to life a highly romantic gothic-infused world of wealth, desire and betrayal.

Enjoyable Story, Shame About Narration
I really enjoyed this book. I thought the plot was, for the most part, held together well with an interesting dynamic between the main characters.
However, I struggled to settle into the narration. The voices for the female characters, especially the lead, were pleasant and believable. I do wish the male voices were more believable, though. A narrator with more range would definitely give more feeling and emphasis to the darker moments in the book. I'd love to hear death sound as dark and tortured as his description suggests.
Still worth a listen! I'll be listening to the sequel when it comes out in August, although I'm probably hoping for different narration.

Captivating, amazing narrator
Loved it, finished it in record time, even playing on double speed to find out what happens next~
The voice actor/narrator was phenomenal too.
Wonderful treat for spooky season too

Predictable but still enjoyable.
Can't understand negativity about narration: it was nicely performed, and although it's a shame that was no male voiceover for male characters,I still feel that narrator done an amazing job with Death. I can still hear "little bird" echoing in my head.
The story itself was a fresh breeze in this genre, generally very enjoyable: it took me only two days to finish it off. Once the book started, I just couldn't let it go, and I'm looking forward to the next instalment.
ok,I wish that protagonists could pass their second decade (at least) before deciding on some lifetime changing declarations, considering that in most cases, male characters have hundred of decades of experience under their belt, but I guess that's the trend 😅

Could not stop listening!
This book was recommended to me by a friend, who was not wrong. I loved the story, it had twists and turns I certainly didn’t expect the outcome at all. Some times I wanted to smack Signa for her behaviour, but by the end of the book I loved her.
I struggled to turn off the book, the reading itself was smooth, you always knew who was talking sue to the way the reader spoke.
I ordered the next book the day after I finished this one as I was enthralled.

Wow!! The best YA story I’ve listened to in recent times
An incredible and unique story, only made even more amazing by the narration. It is a gothic infused YA romance fantasy series. But the male love interests are not the usual type of love interests…
The plot left me guessing till the end. The way Death was narrated was something else, slow and deep and just perfect. I am so excited to listen to book 2. If you’re thinking about this.. just buy it! You will not regret it!!
