On Belladonna

“Gothic vibes? Check. Death personified? Check. Supernatural love story? Check!! I was obsessed with this entire story, and I loved the romance between Signa and Death and her ghostly abilities. The prologue and the epilogue were two of my favorite parts of this, especially the latter, because it was just so brilliant. I’m still thinking about what a fantastic ending that turned out to be and I need a sequel ASAP!”

– Briana, Briana’s Book Nook

“5/5 STARS! This was EVERYTHING I needed in a young adult book series! Creative, unique, well written, & a book you won’t want to put down… From start to finish, this is a MUST READ! Cool settings, interesting characters, & an even better plot, truly a magical read.”

“Belladonna is such a dreamy and dark gothic fantasy romance. I was hooked from the very first page of this book and did not want to put it down. It has the perfect mixture of magic, murder, ghosts, and twists and turns. The banter and progression of Signa and Death’s relationship were phenomenal.”

–Taylor, @25thavenuewest

“The tension and banter between Signa and Death was delicious… The end had me gasping, kicking my feet, yelling alone in my apartment in the middle of the night.”

On Foxglove

“I was captivated from the beginning of this book. The gothic Bridgerton vibes are something else! …The storylines ended the way I hoped and it definitely sets up for a very interesting final book!”

Jennifer, @williams_readalong

Foxglove is the addictive and spellbinding sequel to Belladonna that hooked me from the first page. I LOVED this one. I didn’t want to put it down. It was fast and entertaining, with lots of Downton Abbey vibes.”

Dahlia, @ofpagesandprint

On Wisteria

“This has to be my favorite of the 3 books. As much as I love Signa and Death, Blythe and Aris were on a whole other… I enjoyed the romance in this book more as there was so much more at stake and the enemies to lovers was just brilliantly done! So much pain, passion and yearning!”

Jennifer, @williams_readalong

“The combination of the fake dating/marriage and enemies to lovers tropes made for some exquisite banter and tension… And don’t you dare get me started on the end or I’ll start crying again… If you enjoy romantasy novels and you haven’t already started the Belladonna series, I’m not sure what the f*** you’re doing.”
