"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 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?"

My Rating: 5/5

This was the villain story that I needed. If you're looking for a sex-positive main character, a dark romance and a morally grey love interest this is the book for you. I've loved Tricia Levenseller's work in the past and this was no exception. I plan to read the companion story to this book, but I'm not sure how it could possibly hold up to this one. I can't wait to read more by the author and jump into more delicious fantasy romances that toe the line of YA and New Adult.

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
