Why read it?

1 author picked Belladonna as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved this book because it’s beautifully written, and the main character is very different from most. She’s a no-nonsense girl without being boring. I also love the angsty romance throughout the book.

This is a Victorian murder mystery with a twist. Our main character can see the dead and knows Death himself. Using her gift, she tries to solve her aunt’s murder and the attempted murder of her cousin while facing her inner demons. 

One of the best books I’ve read and an all-around amazing story.
