Blurb: Death waits for no one . . . except for her.
Orphaned as a baby, nineteen-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 realizes 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.
My Thoughts: This book starts off with us meeting Signa Farrow who can not die no matter what happens to her. Everywhere she goes people around her die so she thinks she's cursed. After her latest guardian dies she's sent to live with the Hawthorne family. They have their own set of issues they are dealing with. Blyhe is sick like her deceased mother. Elijah is still mourning his late wife and Percy who has a chip on his shoulder. Just who is Sylas Thorly? A stableboy with delusions of grandeur or something else?
This book started off so slow. Like I almost gave up on this book because it was so slow but I'm glad that I didn't. After the intial boringness I quite enjoyed the book. I can't wait to start Foxglove and dive more into Signa and Death's relationship.
