The Shadows Between Us by Tricia LevensellerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Alessandra has a plan. She is going to meet the Shadow King, marry him and then take his kingdom after killing him. Alessandra has no problem catching the King’s attention, but he only wants to pretend to court her to get everyone off his back. He knows that there are people who want him dead and he isn’t one to trust others. Now Alessandra is trying to keep the king alive, at least long enough for him to make her his queen first. Will Alessandra get her greatest wish? Will she lose her heart along the way?
The Shadows Between Us is a stand-alone fantasy that was everything the description promised. We had court intrigue, backstabbing ex-lovers, a family curse and a budding romance. Levenseller has created a strong female protagonist and readers are hard-pressed to decide if they like her or hate her. In a world full of trilogies and series, I was thoroughly invested in this one and done novel. I couldn’t wait to get to the end and all fantasy fans should add it to their to-read list.
