#1 New York Times bestselling author Adalyn Grace delivers a sensational conclusion to the deathly and decadent Belladonna trilogy, with dramatic twists and a seductive new romance that will set readers' hearts ablaze.
Blythe Hawthorne has never let anyone tell her what to do—not society, not her overprotective father, and certainly not the man she’s bound herself to, no matter how rude and insufferable he is. In fact, she’s determined to be a thorn in his side for the rest of her days, even as he ensures that her life in his palace is anything but a fairytale. But as Blythe discovers a new side of herself linked to his past, she’ll have to decide if she’s willing to let an unexpected spark ignite…and to discover the truth about who she really is.
Review:
What I liked: Aris and Blythe are married and are off on their honeymoon, but soon, Blythe finds out that she is instead doomed to live in gloomy, not very fancy, Wisteria. The forced marriage of Aris and Blythe sets up lots of feisty, witty banter between the not-so-in-love newlywedded couple. The creativity that Aris goes to ensure Blythe’s dad truly believes his daughter is safe with Aris, the prince, is perfect.
Final Verdict:
The twists of yet another deity called chaos into the story were interesting and, at times, terrifying. I found myself on the edge of my seat to see just what chaos would unfold as the story progressed. The ending made me a bit teary-eyed, but it did all warp up, even though it was torture to get there.
