Foxglove is the second book in the Belladonna series and wow! This is a phenomenal sequel and once again, I was captivated by the story and unwilling to stop reading because I just needed to know what would happen when chaos once more fell all around Signa.
‘Your shoulders were not meant to bear the weight of their expectations Signa. You were not made to please others.’
I love the way Death speaks to Signa, and how, as the time they've spent around one another has gone past, as well as Signa's acceptance that he's not the enemy; their rapport has evolved. The two may not be able to be around one another as much as they'd like but they're the balance the other needs and I love how Adalyn Grace has written the two of them.
Foxglove introduced me to new characters who bring new drama alongside old faces who have evolved like Signa has done and I liked how once again, how their presence is always valid whether for the good or the bad side of the story. The drama begins virtually straight away with the arrival of Fate to the mix and despite him being this perfect looking man? I wanted to delve into the book and tell him to leave Signa and Death alone… Fate is, however, perfectly written to be both charming and utterly infuriating and I do like his troublesome self because of it.
Foxglove gives us a murder mystery set in a world mixed with familiar aristocracy and the realm of fantasy. Everything is once more on the line for Signa and her cousin as a conspiracy to destroy the family is woven around them.. but by who? Everything is perfectly written from the creepiness of the ghosts who linger, to the beauty of the world Foxglove is set to the romance between Death and Signa. It's as wonderfully woven together as Fate's tapestries of people's lives - each golden thread perfectly placed for the reader to be balanced precariously on the edge of their seat.
This series just gets better and better, with Foxglove bringing some answers to the questions in Belladonna and putting the reader (and Signa) through a plethora of emotions.
I loved it.
