Can't Wait Wednesday #22 - Belladonna by Adalyn Grace

Happy Wednesday all! Today, I'm back with another Can't Wait Wednesday post.  It's defiantly been a while, again, since I've written one and I have so many books that I'm excited for that are going to be released next year. So I thought it would be fun to start showing off the ones that I've already started archiving for my future TBR! If you're not familiar with Can’t Wait Wednesday, this is a bookish meme hosted by Tressa over at Wishful Endings that spotlights upcoming release books that we're excited for.

About the Book:

Title: Belladonna

Author: Adalyn Grace

Summary:

Orphaned as a baby, nineteen-year-old Signa Farrow has been raised by a string of guardians more interested in her wealth than her well-being—all of whom have died of mysterious circumstances. Her last remaining relatives are the Hawthornes, an eccentric family who live at Thorn Grove, a manor as glittering as it is gloomy.

Thorn Grove’s patriarch, Elijah, mourns his late wife, Lillian, through liquor and wild parties, while son Percy grapples to maintain the family’s waning reputation and daughter Blythe suffers from the same mysterious illness that killed her mother. But when Lillian’s spirit confronts Signa and claims it was poison that killed her and not an illness, Signa realizes that Blythe will be next to die unless the murderer is found.

Signa's best chance of uncovering the culprit and solving Lillian's murder is an alliance with Death himself—the very man she hates most. And Death, that fascinating, dangerous shadow who has never been far from her side, shows her that their connection may be more powerful than she ever dared imagine.

My Thoughts on Belladonna:

When it comes to books with ghosts and and mystery, sign me up immediately! Whenever I see a book about ghosts, I know I'm most definitely going to love it. Based on the description, this book sounds like something I have wanted to read for a long time and now I'll finally get to when this book gets released next summer. Also, when Adalyn published the book cover on Twitter, I was in complete awe of it. It's so beautiful! Maybe I'm biased because my favorite color is purple, but I cannot wait to read Belladonna.

Also, if you're interested, Adalyn also mentioned in her tweet that The Novel released the Prologue for the book as well, which I've linked if you're interested in checking it out!
