Belladonna

De: Adalyn Grace

Narrado por: Kristin Atherton

The New York Times bestselling author of All the Stars and Teeth brings to life a highly romantic, Gothic-infused world of wealth, desire, and betrayal.

Nineteen-year-old Signa Farrow, orphaned as a baby, has been raised by a string of guardians, each more interested in her wealth than her well-being—and each has met an untimely end. Her last remaining relatives are the Hawthornes, an eccentric family living at the glittering and gloomy estate of Thorn Grove. Thorn Grove’s patriarch, Elijah, mourns his late wife, Lillian, through wild parties and drink, while eldest son Percy grapples for control of the family’s waning reputation and daughter Blythe suffers from the same mysterious illness that killed her mother. And when Lillian’s spirit confronts Signa and claims she was poisoned, Signa realizes that Blythe could be next to die.

Signa’s best chance of uncovering the culprit and solving Lillian’s murder is an alliance with Death himself—the very man she hates most. And Death, that fascinating, dangerous shadow who has never been far from her side, shows her that their connection may be more powerful than she ever dared imagine.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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.”—Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a Broken Heart

“Decadently atmospheric. This gothic romance is filled with desire, betrayal, and of course, Death.”—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 fairytale 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."—Renée Ahdieh, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Wrath and the Dawn and Flame in the Mist

Perfect for Spooky Season

This book was perfect to listen to while setting up for spooky season. The narrator does a fantastic job with the voices and the story over all is fantastic. I did not expect the descriptions of the ghosts to get so detailed and creepy I could imagine it as a horror movie! Great twists and a good touch of spice to it. I really hope there is a sequel in the works!

Intoxicating!

This book was dark sultry and spooky while still being light funny and romantic! A combination of classic Gothic horror Agatha Christie and Death Takes a Holiday. The narrator made every character come to life with exquisitely unique and almost languid voices. A perfect way to begin the autumn spooky time mood reading binge. I look forward to book 2!

review of belladonna

enjoyed the story and can not wait to see what happens next! so many twists and turns. I enjoyed the romance aspects of the book

Such a good read!!!!

I loved the storyline, although quick paced, it was easy to follow along with which is especially great if you’re like me and like to listen to books while doing other tasks! The characters were so well written! The ending through me for a loop! I feel like many murder mysteries tend to be easy to figure out, but I never would’ve guessed. Never loved Death more than in this book.

Captivating book with many surprises

Great book, I enjoyed listening to it with it's many surprises.I would listen or read it again.

Excellent

This is exactly what I was looking for…. A little romance, a mystery and intriguing characters. The narrator is good too, although at first I thought she might be a little too “calm” for my taste but her style really grew on me.
I listened once and when it was over, I listened again straight away to get a better idea of how all the pieces fell into place….plus, I just wasn’t ready to leave Signa’s world just yet.
I’m eagerly awaiting the second installment. There’s so much more to learn about these characters. I can’t wait!

Fun Read

The author had me guessing to the very end. A very enjoyable diversion. Good beach read.

Great story and can’t wait for a follow up!

I very much enjoyed this story! The narrator is phenomenal and I will look for more by her.

Such a fun read

It may have murder and poison but it was just a fun light hearted read! I look forward to listening to foxglove. The performance was wonderful very clear when speaking and fun voices.

phenomenal!

if your looking for a bridgerton gothic paranormal romance murder mystery then this is for you! I couldn't put it down but also didn't want it to end either! I can't wait for the next book!
