bookshelves: gothic

I had A LOT of fun with it. But at the same time, I realized it wasn't perfect at all.

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.

If you like this and want a NA version with a shadow daddy? Read- A Kiss of Iron 👀
