The Shadows Between Us

by Tricia Levenseller

They still haven't found the body of the first and only boy who broke Alessandra's heart - and they never will. Since then, all of her relationships have been purely physical. And now at eighteen years old, Alessandra is ready for more. The plan is simple:

1. Make the king fall in love with her.
2. Get him to marry her.
3. Kill him and take his kingdom for herself.

It's no small task, but Alessandra wants a kingdom and is going to do everything within her power to get it. She knows the freshly crowned Shadow King will be her toughest target yet. Shrouded in a mysterious power, no one is allowed to touch him.

But, as forces combine to try and keep Alessandra from earning the king's heart, she wonders if perhaps she's already lost her own.

I was sent an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for a review.

Oh man. I can not express how much i loved this book. I was into the story the whole time. I honestly couldn't get enough of it.

I loved how strong of a women Alessandra was in this story. This girl was on a mission and man was she determent to get what se wanted. I thought it was funny the way she just picked two girls to be her 'friends" but then they ended up being some of her best friends.

The Shadow King! Man was he just dreamy. He had this amazing amount of intensity and just the right amount of masculinity. Oh man. I honestly can't handle. He's got the dark side to him that makes him seem like this ass but honestly he has his reasons to be that way. He other wise seems to care about the people around him. He is now on my bae YA list.

I will say I was disappointed with how "short" of a story this was. I only say that because I wanted so much more. I was not ready for it to end. When i was reading it and got to the end I said " that was it? the book is over?" I thought I still had more of the story to read.

Well with that said I would recommend this story. I did find it good and I couldn't put it down. I need more!! Please. :)
