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.

Review

The Shadows Between Us is my favorite kind of fantasy: dark, mesmerizing, and completely addictive. With a gripping mystery and layered characters, it's a glittering tale of love and the pursuit of power. Put simply: it's the Slytherin romance we've all been waiting for. --Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Stalking Jack the Ripper
"Tricia Levenseller's latest, The Shadows Between Us, is a decadent and wickedly addictive fantasy, full of schemes and court intrigue, and delightful descriptions of food, which I am always a fan of." --Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series
"A wickedly fun romp with corsets and jeweled daggers, Levenseller drops us into a competitive royal court, led there by Alessandra, an unapologetically ruthless and self-confident courtier who aims to overthrow the Shadow King and become queen. The king's mysterious abilities and dark secrets complicate her passion to rule, all building to a sizzling, unbidden romance. The Shadows Between Us will heat up the page--and your heart." --Emily R. King, author of The Hundredth Queen series
A viciously satisfying romance featuring two well-matched opponents. --Booklist
Praise for Tricia Levenseller:
One of my favourite YA books ever. The action! The world-building! The voice! This book kicks so much ass. -- Cale Dietrich, author of The Love Interest, on Warrior of the Wild
Rasmira's quest is thrilling, her emotional journey compelling; this adventure sings. --Booklist on Warrior of the Wild
This high-octane novel is filled with mythical creatures and showcases a heroine who wants to be a warrior, a woman, and a leader. --School Library Journal, on Warrior of the Wild
The real gratification lies in Rasmira's transformation from broken, betrayed, girl to resourceful, confident victor. Her final clash with the god is heart pounding, and her triumph in front of her village and father is satisfyingly righteous. -- The Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books, on Warrior of the Wild
Levenseller has created a formidable female character who can take care of herself as she makes some hard decisions." --School Library Journal on Daughter of a Pirate King
"[Levenseller's] words will pull you in, and there's no escaping them. --Charlie N. Holmberg, author of The Paper Magician Series, on Daughter of the Siren Queen
"With a cunning plot, robust writing, and complicated characters, any reader will enjoy being manipulated in Levenseller's capable hands." --Anna Banks, author of the New York Times Bestseller Of Triton, on Daughter of the Pirate King

Assassins, enemies-to-lovers and a fast paced plot
Reviewed in Australia on 8 June 2020
Verified Purchase
This book was excellent!! I've read works by the author before and LOVED them, so I knew I had to read The Shadows Between Us.

The characters are amazing. Alessandra, the female main character, is snarky, sassy, kind but also very clever. She is unapologetic and herself. She was a great characer, and the male main character Kallias was dark, broody, but also sweet and fierce all at the same time.

Basically Alessandra goes to The Shadow Kings court in order to woo him, marry him and then kill him. There are some twists and turns along the way, and neither of them expected to be friends.

It was awesome. Highly recommend if you love enemies-to-lovers, assassin plots, clever characters and witty one liners. I will always buy works by this author because I know I will love them.

Bought this from all the glowing reviews and just....what?! Did we even read the same book? For something that promised sexiness and angst and violence this was just the mc designing clothes, having zero chemistry with anyone and snapping women's rights into existence like it's the easiest thing in the world. Couldn't finish. So. Bored.

Loved the lack of moral/ethical compass from both of the main characters. Didn’t like the guessable plot and holes from lack of explanation by the author. Recommended as an easier read but not necessarily towards a younger age group as there is promotion of 15/16 year olds having sex.

Completely unique
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2020

*Possible spoilers*

I am going to start this review by being honest and saying that this is not my type of book.
That being said I know others will completely adore it, and I understand why.
This novel is unique, I have never read a book where I could not like the main characters or agree with their actions and I am pretty sure that is what the Author wanted.
I dont think I am being unfair when I say Alessandra is a villain. She is villainous, selfish, arrogant and mostly unfeeling towards others.
She is also very complex and strong. I like Alessandras strength and consistency. She doesnt back down or shy away from what she wants. She knows the effect she has on people and doesnt hide behind modesty. She likes men and is completely unashamed of that.
I have seen some comments saying that this is a book about slytherins. I agree.
I just struggle with how unlikable the characters are (In my opinion)
They are villains. The shadow king is a strong ruler and he needs a strong woman by his side. They crush down rebellions of the poor every day man and what I would call 'the good guy' (though he is a muppet)
There is unapologetic murder, a basically non existent sister relationship and the main bad guy got more sympathy from me than the king.
But it was well written and engrossing.

Dark and I loved it.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 April 2020

I loved this book. It is rare that I enjoy a stand alone novel but this was oddly gripping right from the start. The two lead characters are both morally grey which in itself makes a delightful change and in truth, forced me to binge-read this in the space of one evening. There were a couple of attempts to bring in a ‘feminine power’ message that I felt weren’t really embedded properly - as if added to tick a box - but otherwise, a really great read that I’ve already recommended to my friends.

meh, not what I was expecting...

The concept is interesting and that's what attracted me to the book in the first place, but the way it's written is not captivating- it's the complete opposite actually, it's quite boring and mundane. I did like the characters, they both has this powerful and intelligent aura to them. The confidence the protagonist has is very nice to read, because it's uncommon for women in books to be caring, smart and confident at the same time. I think the issue is the storyline is under- developed, there is a lot of mystery in terms of why the prince can't touch any woman, but the reason isn't profound, it's very basic which was disappointing. Also, I just don't like royal etiquettes and as you can imagine, this book had a lot of them. It's definitely different from other books I have read, but not to my liking.

Review originally posted on GoodReads

I wholeheartedly loved this book
It only took me a day to read, but I loathed the time that I wasn’t engrossed in this story.
I loved that Alessandra was unapologetically herself the whole way through, that these characters were flawed - seriously flawed - individuals, that I was reading about a character who had a plan, was willing to execute her plan and was so confident in her ability to do so!
It makes such a change from MC’s who are thrust into situations they have no confidence to deal with.
In fact, I found myself convinced that Alessandra had this throughout all the issues she encountered, and boy was there a lot of drama.
Tricia Levenseller clearly loves throwing in problems and hiccups for our characters to deal with, and at times I was unsure how it was going to be possible to unravel the tangle that was being woven around the plot - especially as at around 320 pages it’s not a long book at all. I counted around 10 big plot points which is a lot to deal with in such a small page count. There were a few moments that I don’t think paid off, and I think that some issues were not dealt with in a meaningful way. But hell I don’t care that some problems were written just to be solved a few pages later. It was like watching a transfixing telenovela that I just adored.
The Shadows Between Us has issues, but that doesn’t make it any less of a delectable treat that I devoured and wished for so much more of. I had such a good time reading this book, and it’s definitely making my top reads of 2020.

Quase perfeito!
Reviewed in Brazil on 27 May 2020

Quando eu descobri os livros da Tricia Levenseller pela primeira vez, me apaixonei pelo jeito dela de narrar, pelas suas protagonistas e seu senso de humor. Ela é exatamente do tipo de autora cujos livros eu compro sem nem precisar saber do que fala, mas com este foi um pouco diferente. Um ano antes de ser publicado, ela postou uma foto da primeira página dele no Instagram, e eu fiquei obcecada com ele. Esta é de longe a melhor primeira página que já li, mas o resto do livro não tem o mesmo nível. Não é ruim, não me entenda errado, mas deixou um pouco a desejar.

O único problema dele mesmo são as expectativas que a sinopse e essa primeira página criam. Se ele não fosse tão bom de começo, o resto cresceria muito, pois é uma história bem feita, bem desenvolvida e com um ritmo de leitura que não dá vontade de parar de ler nunca. A protagonista, Alessandra, é muito bem feita, ainda que eu tenha sentido que sua "maldade" ocila um pouco desde o começo. A química dela com o rei é excelente, me fazendo querer muitas vezes colocar o livro nos favoritos, e o romance é maravilhoso, mas não de um jeito fofo, e sim sensual e honesto. É ótimo.

Mas a brutalidade e a ambição prometidas na sinopse e no começo não se mantém firmes por muito tempo. Acho que é por causa do rei. É fácil demais gostar dele, então não tem como o leitor ficar dividido entre a "missão" da Alessandra e ele. Por sorte, a autora teve uma ideia ótima para se tornar um obstáculo entre eles, mas nem posso falar qual é, pois ela fez questão de não deixar claro na sinopse, então seria um spoiler.

Foi uma ideia intrigante, que fez o romance ficar ainda mais interessante e que movimentou a história muito, muito bem. E que me fez querer que este livro fosse mais longo do que foi. Acho que dava para ela introduzir um pouco mais de substãncia e deixá-lo mais preenchido. Não sei se estou conseguindo me explicar direito, mas foi o que senti. Não tinha necessidade de ter só trezentas e poucas páginas, podia ser mais grosso e mais completo.

Outro problema foi com a ambientação. Não é nem que a autora não faça o mundo em que a história se passa parecer real, é só que é um mundo completamente novo, sem mapa ou explicações e que é jogado demais. Precisava ter alguma base para eu sentir uma firmeza maior. A cidade parece conter dois prédios, o palácio e outro em que uma cena acontece, e o resto parece ser um enorme vazio. Se ela tivesse dedicado mais páginas para a explicação do universo do livro, já ficaria uma história mais completa.

Mesmo assim, é um livro muito divertido, com um casal com muita química e um romance muito interessante. Depois da duologia da autora, venho sentindo que seus livros sempre chegam muito perto de serem excelentes, mas acabam não chegando a atingir todo seu potencial. Foi assim com este. Se você ajustar suas expectativas e não se deixar animar demais com a sinopse e o começo, vai gostar bastante dele! Senão, vai só acabar se decepcionando.
