I enjoyed this way more than Belladonna and tbf this is a better written book comparatively. While I loved the setting and Death in the first book. I fell hard for Fate. Like sure, I still like Death and think he's a total hottie but Fate has me weak on my knees ...more
Good marketing of the book but lacks substance. Held a lot of potential but it was a deeply flawed book for me. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it aGood marketing of the book but lacks substance. Held a lot of potential but it was a deeply flawed book for me. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it at times but if I really think about it, it was just the spice I liked and even that went wrong at the end.
✔️ Gothic erotica ✔️ Victorian era ✔️ Vampires ✔️ Enemies to lovers
The first half of this book is decent compared to the second half. But what bothers me is I couldn't connect to the story or to the characters at all. The story did not make much sense to me, especially towards the end. The characters as individuals suck to be frank. I liked the idea of Alina being a poisoner but it got old real quick as that was all there was to her. Same with Silas, the only thing going for him is he wants to play with his food. These two as individuals did not do much for me. It's only when they are together, things get interesting. The banter is enjoyable and the spice is well written, at least some of the scenes are, the rest just icked me. It is more lust than love imo.
For a book that is set in the Victorian era, it sure doesn't read like one. Yeah sure, the author tries to incorporate historical elements but it didn't really work out for me. Things seemed TOO modern.
The rape at the end seemed written for the sake of it. I don't understand the purpose and motive behind that. It seemed out of character and it absolutely disgusted me. Calling it anything other than rape will be lying and deceiving readers.
I was going to rate it 2.5 stars but then the rape happened and killed the book completely for me. So this is me rating it one for the chemistry between the two main characters and that's me being generous.

I absolutely ate up Death and Signa's slow burn romance. These two characters intrigued me and had great chemistry. Death's hot, sexy and charming. The way he carried himself and slowly put out for Signa was everything. Signa learning more about herself and finally accepting Death as hers was wholesome.
I liked the murder mystery aspect with historical and goth vibes. But I did end up thinking it dragged towards the end. The plot twists and reveals did not really surprise me.
I think one of the biggest issues was that I did not really care about the side characters much. I liked Blythe but not much. It was basically Signa and Death carrying the book for me. Another issue was the slow pacing.
Overall, a fun book to help get out of a slump. I believe it's the sort of book that is not for everyone, given the way it's written.
