Thank you to NetGalley and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers for an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.
I binged this book in 3 days and now I am being punished for it, because the sequel to this does not come out until sometime next year & I need it now . This book follows Signa Farrow as she tries to make home for herself as she is constantly surrounded by Death. Finally finding a home that she feels she can make her own, with her cousins the Hawthorne’s, more death awaits and she must solve the murder of one family member before another is killed. This is gothic 1800s murder mystery, where Death is a tangible person and Signa cannot die. The rules of high society are prevalent but what are societal expectations to a person when death has been their constant companion?
This book is amazing. I already enjoyed Adalyn’s writing from ATSAT, but this one one was so much more my vibe and style. It is dark, gothic literature, and I cannot wait to read the second one. Everyone needs to read this book if this is a genre you are drawn to. I don’t know the last time I read a gothic literature book that I couldn’t put down the way I couldn’t stop reading this one. 10/10
