Praise for Belladonna:

“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 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."

—Renée Ahdieh, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Wrath & the Dawn and Flame in the Mist

“Belladonna effortlessly weaves mystery, magic, and romance together into a gothic-infused masterpiece sure to become YA’s new obsession. Every page drips with atmosphere and will leave readers wishing that they, too, could roam the halls of haunted Thorn Grove. Utterly original and completely addictive, Belladonna is a fantasy to die for.”

—Rachel Griffin, New York Times bestselling author of The Nature of Witches

“Delicious and haunting, Belladonna is the type of story that sinks its teeth into your soul. With addictive, atmospheric prose and an absolutely spellbinding mix of mystery and romance, this is YA fantasy at its finest. It’s dark, it’s sexy. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

—Jessica Olson, author of A Forgery of Roses

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.

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 📚

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.
