They've never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will.
The Shadows Between Us (The Shadows Between Us # 1)
Tricia Levenseller
Summary: Alessandra is tired of being overlooked, but she has a plan to gain power:
1) Woo the Shadow King.
2) Marry him.
3) Kill him and take his kingdom for herself.
No one knows the extent of the freshly crowned Shadow King’s power. Some say he can command the shadows that swirl around him to do his bidding. Others say they speak to him, whispering the thoughts of his enemies. Regardless, Alessandra knows what she deserves, and she’s going to do everything within her power to get it.
But Alessandra’s not the only one trying to kill the king. As attempts on his life are made, she finds herself trying to keep him alive long enough for him to make her his queen—all while struggling not to lose her heart. After all, who better for a Shadow King than a cunning, villainous queen?
My Review: You know those books that you start and just can’t stop? That was The Shadows Between Us for me. I started it yesterday evening and I’ll be done before the day is out. The dedication marks this as a “Slytherin romance” and let me tell you I was here for it. I loved these characters, I loved how conniving and well planned they were and the writing was just so dang much fun. Definitely recommend.
Recommended age: 14/15+ (sexual situations, nothing seen, but there is discussion)
