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.

Perfection

This was my most anticipated book for the year and it did not disappoint. Perfection. I am unwell, deceased, perishing on the spot.

6 star, no notes, I take 0 criticism

A JOLLY GOOD TIME!!!

I absolutely adored the Belladona series. Fell in love with all the characters & mysteries from chapter one. I absolutely LOVE this holiday novella—such a breath of fresh air & a perfect culmination of the stories. I will say though, I want more! I would love to dive back into the world with these characters for another 3 books 📚

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

Biggest letdown

Holly by Adalyn Grace
So apparently this was a novella… which would’ve been fine if it actually felt like one worth reading. Instead, it came off like a random deleted scene that got stretched into a book for the sake of hype.

After waiting forever for this release, I expected something meaningful — a solid story, emotional depth, maybe even a few twists to justify the excitement. What I got was short, shallow, and honestly kind of pointless. The plot was weak, the pacing was weird, and nothing of substance actually happened.

It felt more like an unnecessary side quest than a story we needed. Not worth the wait, not worth the price, and definitely not worth the hype.

I’m just going to treat this novella like it doesn’t exist — because honestly, it adds nothing to the series.

Delightful

A Delightful Christmas Novella! Cute addition to the trilogy. The ended was especially cute when they all exchanged presents.
