Belladonna

Nineteen-year-old Signa was orphaned as a baby and raised by a series of guardians, each more concerned with her wealth than her welfare—and each meeting an untimely death. Her remaining relatives are the Hawthornes, an eccentric family living at Thorn Grove, an estate that is both glittering and gloomy. The patriarch throws wild parties to mourn his late wife, his son struggles to control the family's declining reputation, and his daughter suffers from a mysterious illness. When the mother's restless spirit appears and claims she was poisoned, Signa realizes the family she depends on may be in grave danger. She enlists a surly stable boy to help hunt down the killer. Her best chance of uncovering the murderer, however, lies in an alliance with Death itself—a dangerous shadow who has long been present in her life. Though Death has made her life difficult, Signa discovers that their growing connection may be more powerful and irresistible than she imagined.
