Attention grabbing
This book was amazing. Started out hot and heavy then backed off and turned to a slow burn. About halfway through things start to go down keeping you guessing. And then the spice comes back at the end. I absolutely loved it

Enjoyable!
When I opened The Shadows Between Us and saw it’s dedicated as a Slytherin Romance, I was immediately intrigued! Right off the bat, the dedication helped me to understand Alessandra’s attitude, goals, and drive. While I wouldn’t describe her as a relatable, or even necessarily likable, character, she was quite intriguing. I enjoyed watching her discover love and companionship while not compromising on her principles or ambition. While I felt some aspects of this plot confused me in that they seemed to require a bit of editing—for instance, a woman who claims to want to become the ruler of her empire, and therefore kill the current ruler, didn’t seem to know much about the monarchy (her king’s name, the fact his elder brother died, or the last king’s name, who only died a year ago). While some of these things might have been believable if the FMC had been a peasant, Allessandra is part of the nobility class and it seems as if none of the above was kept secret by the monarchy, so it was kind of odd. Especially in regards to the Shadow King’s name: when Alessandra first learns it, she acts as if she’s been let in on a secret, but following that it turns out that all of the nobility know his name, so that was a silly kind of continuity error. I also was very confused about Kallias’ shadow abilities being essentially an open secret. While he says no one really knows how it works, it would appear that enough people know how it works to leak the information to his enemies, at which point I would assume his enemies would widely share and it would cease to be a secret—which kind of happens and yet…doesn’t. In the end, I will give this 3 stars for having a strong romance plot with a badass FMC!

Hello Shadow King!
𝚃𝚛𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚜: 🗡️ Forced Proximity 🥀 Slow Burn 🗡️ Touch Her and ☠️ 🥀 Woman Scorned 🗡️ Death 🥀 Second Chance 🗡️ Poison ——— "𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮'𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙗𝙤𝙮 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡." Alessandra is done with being ignored, and she has a plan to gain power: •Seduce the Shadow King. •Marry him. •Kill him and claim his kingdom. No one truly understands the full extent of the Shadow King's powers. Some say he commands the shadows around him, while others believe they reveal the thoughts of his enemies. Regardless, Alessandra knows what she deserves and will do whatever it takes to get it. But she's not the only one trying to kill the king. With attempts on his life mounting, she must keep him alive long enough to become his queen—all while guarding her heart. After all, who better to match the Shadow King than a clever, villainous queen? "𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣'𝙩 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙩. 𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙞𝙩. 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪.” 💬 You know the books that make you immediately buy the next book in the series well before finishing? This is that book for me. I ate this up and couldn’t get enough, knew from the beginning that I’d fall in love with it and that’s what I did!

So enjoyable! 🖤
I may be biased as this is the first book I’ve read where the FMC and I share a name! (It’s very exciting! I don't hear it often.) Alessandra was so fun to follow through this story. She is impeccably observant and uses her skill to skirt societies expectations while scheming to get what she desires. Her story here revolves around a delightful slow burn romance and a political plot she seeks to expose. She paves her own path and I couldn’t get enough. I also enjoyed her love of sewing and design. This is more of a slow burn romance set at court with dashes of political/royal family intrigue, social/feminist defiance, and some shadow wielding fantasy. I combo read this via a personal physical copy and the audiobook via hoopla from my local library.
