About this listen

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.

This may just be the best romance murder mystery I've ever read 😍

I fell in love with Adalyn Grace when I first read 'All the stars and teeth,' and when I discovered that she had started writing another series, bought the first audiobook on the spot. Needless to say, I was not disappointed! Grace's captivating writing style and the narrator's exquisite delivery had me hooked from the first page, and I devoured it as quickly as the protagonist does poisonous Belladonna berries... and that's all time I have now to write this review, cause I'm off to start the second book! Please, never stop writing Adalyn Grace, you have a rare and valuable gift ✨

Hooked from the start

I wasn't sure if this book was going to be one for me, but I am so glad I gave it a chance! I was hooked right from the start and couldn't stop. The story is original and I loved all the characters. I can't wait for the next one to come out.

Adored this story

What a pretty story for any person that ever grew up feeling a little different or outcast, finding your own place in the world and what finds you along with it.
Loved this, bought the hard copy for my shelves while still reading

Perfect gothic romance

Love this original story. Performance was brilliant, with the voice artist having a wide repertoire of voices for male and female characters. Very excited for book 2, Foxglove!
