The Shadows Between Us (The Shadows Between Us #1) by Tricia Levenseller - GBR - Starting July 1st 2022

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

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? (

I've read her Daughter of the Pirate King before so I'm so excited to read this!

Up to Chapter 5:
(view spoiler)[ This woman is a schemer. It's been a while since I've read a book from such a perspective. Slytherin romance is shaping up to sound like a perfect perspective. I love the friends she made so far, and I have a feeling her plan to blackmail all of these men is going to backfire somewhere. (hide spoiler)]

[Deidra]

Through Chapter 15:
(view spoiler)[ Alessandra is a conniving little thing. Honestly, if she didn't have such devious plans, you can't help but wish her some sort of position because she obviously is capable of doing the job. She is beyond impressive in her schemes. I was right that the blackmail would backfire, but she claimed it back again. Man, she is impressive! (hide spoiler)]

[Deidra]

Through Chapter 20:
(view spoiler)[ I have some serious mixed emotions right now. I have no idea how I want this book to end right now, but I would love if they could just be happy together on their own terms. (hide spoiler)]

[Deidra]

Through Chapter 27:
(view spoiler)[ That makes me so nervous. Who is trying to kill him?? Or who else. I’m not sure yet. (hide spoiler)]

[Deidra]

Finished:
(view spoiler)[. Well I loved it. The book was exactly as promised, and this author is becoming my go-to for fantasy. I had a feeling there was something off about that boy. <\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]
