About this listen

"Few audiobooks warrant turning off all distractions, closing one's eyes, and simply listening to the story unfold. Narrator Caitlin Davies creates just that experience as she passionately guides listeners through this gripping story of ambition, love, and desire." (AudioFile Magazine)

Tricia Levenseller, author of Daughter of the Pirate King, is back with an epic YA tale of ambition and love in The Shadows Between Us....

"They’ve never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will."

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?

"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, number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Three Dark Crowns series)

I enjoyed this story a lot, I didn't fall head over heels in love with it but it was enjoyable, it's nice for a stand alone book it has the right amount of intrigue, fun characters and romance. Could it have been better? yes, it definetly could have been better, but it was a good one day read_listen. I do recommend it. The narrator was pretty amazing I loved all the voices she maid and the emotion behind her lecture

a nice romcom

OMG finally I book I can stand to read that isnt romantic shit! I just wish there was a series. I love how ruthless and confident the heroine is. Its so refreshing from the same stereotypes I’ve read over and over again in other books.

Finally!

So worth it. Fun, interesting, strong heroine. Loved her inner conversations and witty character. Great plot with interesting characters & a good twist at the end.

Enjoyable weekend reading.

Great story but I feel like there could have been more romance. The ending was quite surprising. I wasn't expecting that.

More romance please!

Ehhhhh. This was entertaining enough. I was glad that there were no explicit sex scenes.
I’m not a huge fan of how murder is glorified in this book. I knew it had a remorseless killer from the preview, but I had hoped she would have an arc. She’s not killing for purely virtuous reasons, folks.
The plot was too tidy, and predictable in the sense that you always knew what events would eventually arrive, it was just a matter of when.
The narrator was alright. She did well at the male voices too. She just didn’t stand out.

Idk
