The Shadows Between Us

jeecabug1 shared a tip "This book is amazing! Def be at least 15 before you read it as there are mentions of sex many times and some extreme kissing. It is a dark tale to be loved by anyone who enjoys a good villain. You like loki? You will love it. Once upon a time? You will love it. Never read before? Love it still. Perfect ending and I loved every minute of it."

victoria_catherine shared a tip "There’s just something intensely romantic about two villainous, cold hearted people seeing the vast darkness the other holds and accepting them for who they truly are. A romance of seeing their partner as their absolute true self and loving every part of them anyway. This is a great fantasy romance read. Especially if you enjoy darker characters! #fantasy #romance #villain #young_adult_fiction"

karrigan_weldin shared a tip "I have read this book over and over again. It is by far my favorite book. It feels so we'll written you can't put it down. I also love the queer representation in characters. You definitely need to be 15 to read though. There is some talk of sexual actions, but if you are thinking about reading DO IT."

mw.od shared a tip "Alessandra knows just how to attract the shadow king’s attention, due to her many serect, past lovers, and she uses this knowledge with the plans to become his queen and then murder him in her sleep. However, a the fact that she has many past secrets and the fact that she isn’t allowed to touch him will make this plan much more difficult."

maci_quillen shared a tip "Its one of those books where the main characters are actually just terrible people, but you can't help but like them anyway. I honestly love this book and would absolutely recommend. They romantic build up between Alessandra and The King is one of my favorites. They really are a perfect match, for better or for worse."

DarkDragonQueen shared a tip "I read this book in like 6 hours i could not put down right when i saw the cover i knew i needed it i loved it so much with her past slowly showed and the humor of the characters even though they had other characters the shadow king and Alexandra its like the camera was focused on them and everyone else was blurred i. 4.5 stars"

samantha_foster_1858 shared a tip "I’m afraid I didn’t like this book. It’s not a bad book, and I will never say an author is bad since I’m not one so would never bad talk one. It’s just not for me. For me the story felt rushed and juvenile. But just because it’s not my cup of tea doesn’t mean someone else wouldn’t love it."

thatgurlkelly shared a tip "Loved it!!! She’s brave and cool. Also secretly an evil mastermind. The book is literally addictive and I throughly enjoyed reading it! (It’s also a bada** feminist novel with royalty so if you like that, this might be for you)."

samantha_staples_9356 shared a tip "I simply could not stop reading ! I finished it in 3 days and was crushed when I closed the book. It’s one of those stories that makes you so utterly attached to the characters . I hated to have to read that last page ! It’s witty, dark, empowering , and 14+ for sure ✨🖤 100% recommend this enemies to lovers masterpiece !!!"

jennifer_nunez_6740 shared a tip "Alessandra has a plan. Kill the king and take his throne. She cleaver and dangerous. I’m weak when it comes to enemies to lovers."

vanessa_martinez_9864 shared a tip "I was obsessed with this book from the beginning. It really sucks you into the world that Kallias’s and Alessandra’s world. yes it was a bit fast pace but i loved it anyway!"

janielle_rionne shared a tip "Very good. I love a morally grey female protagonist. Ending felt rushed but it made sense, because it’s a stand-alone book. Other than that I highly recommend"

the_cool_book_nerd shared a tip "finshed this book in less than 12 hours! such a good read and immediately draws you into the story. very easy to get lost in the plot and fall in love with these characters instantly! definitely recommend; one of my new favorites!!!"

his_little_princess shared a tip "Couldn't put it down. Strong female lead with a sharp tongue, a dark past an affinity for schemeing. A handsome prince whose desperate to keep everyone at a distance. And a cast of lovable characters."

emily_sensing shared a tip "I just finished reading this, it took me two days and let me say...I’m so in love with the characters😭😭 I miss them already, I mean I finished reading it like 1 minute ago but I miss them already😭"

ayomallama shared a tip "I quite enjoyed this book. I love the concept of the book and plot. The plot twist at the end, omg so good. I kinda guessed it was Leandros, but I was not expecting that plot twist in the end. I do wish that when she was starting to gain feelings for the shadow king, that there was more detail, but other than that I really enjoyed it."

arden_emartle shared a tip "LOVED THIS! I thought it was an amazing book despite the slightly predictable plot twists. I'm now looking for more books like this!"

nesa_1962 shared a tip "this just felt like two ***** straight people with weird tension. all her problems and fears felt like they were vanishing because he existed in her life which i thought was annoying :/ it didnt give room to expand or complicate their relationship while including her trauma. the start was slow and the ending was predictable 💔💔 but it did feel fun to read bc the plot felt like a show or a movie :]"

happy_4385 shared a tip "Probably the beginning, her dad is a really good character and him just being like “oh okay, I’ll shut up now” was funny. Her getting what she wanted from the king was interesting to read too"

roselover411 shared a tip "This was marked in the bookstore "Slytherins will love this" and I 100% agree XD I had a great time with this, I found it very funny and engaging with an unorthodox protagonist who knows exactly what she wants and how to get it."

mad.wal15 shared a tip "This is one of the best books I have ever read. I just finished it five minutes ago sobbing and screaming that I needed more. I NEED a sequel or I might just die. I read this book in less than 24 hours bc it is so addictive and the twist at the end made me want to scream at a character. I get that it ended as it should have but that doesn’t change the fact the Alessandra is the most baddie character I have ever read about and I want to marry the shadow king. NOW I BEG OF U TO GIVE ME MORE."

jess_mcauley shared a tip "I loved watching her scheme throughout the whole novel, that was one of my favorite things, it kept me on my toes. I think some of my favorite parts came when she moved into the queens chamber and watching her start to realize that she has feelings for Kallias. What were some of yours?"

trin_finity shared a tip "This book is very “Oh I’m different becuase I don’t pine after him like every other girl so this makes him fall for me.” And it threw me SO off for a bit. Regardless, I kept on reading and truly started to fall in love with the book despite the cliche-ness of it all. I must admit there is a perfect balance present, and kudos to the author for truly scratching that cliche itch within us all! Adore this quick read and definitely recommend!!👍🏼❤️"

chasity_lovett shared a tip "It was good, not my favorite, but definitely good. It seemed to take forever, and then go pretty fast at the end. Def recommend, just.. don’t hold expectations too high?"

cristall shared a tip "Couldn’t put it down !! Loved everything, the characters, the background story, the drama, the secrets, just everythingggg !! Definitely a quick read but still so good! I wish there was more !"

stacy_august shared a tip "I liked the book, I think it was refreshing to have a different female lead. We all have the typical female leads that are selfless or too hard, but this character was relatable and frankly realistic. It’s a quick read, I honestly think the author sped through a bit and the ending is predictable but it was still a good read."

eliza_sperry_9385 shared a tip "The middle is a bit slow, however I overall really enjoyed this book!! The end is a serious whirlwind of surprises and reveals, just my style :D"

laycee_sanchez shared a tip "This book was a true piece of art. Everything was so fluid from the character build of everyone, to the entire plot. An absolute genius the author is."

nancy_morrison shared a tip "Just finished From Blood and Ash and A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire from Jennifer L Armentrout in anticipation of the third coming out next week"

juniperblues shared a tip "Loved! It had just to right amount of romance and drama. It was a little predicable at times but it was definitely worth the read"

addieschow shared a tip "The book was pretty fast paced and i love Kallias. I think the plot twist at the end was pretty predictable and the ending was too forced but overall I really enjoyed reading it and it’s a great book if you like the enemies to lovers trope"

erin_reed shared a tip "I absolutely loved this book! The storyline is different and I love how determined and set on her goal Alessandra is through the whole book. The development between Alessandra and Kallias was perfect. This was advertised as a Slytherin romance, and by all gods it is💚. The only thing that killed me was the ending. After all the sass, and villainous actions by Alessandra that ending literally shattered me! It was almost like it was copy pasted from another "happily ever after" and formatted to fit Alessandra and Kallias just enough for an end that required no continuation. I would've rather the tone continued and there be the set up for a potential second book instead of a cheesy ending."

keaghan_banaitis shared a tip "I think that this book is perfect for a quick read. It’s pacing is a little rocky in the beginning, but once it hits its stride, it really does. The romance is the focal point, obviously, but enchanting enough that I was endeared by it. The ending was satisfying as well, and I genuinely enjoyed the writing style."

caroline_foley shared a tip "Absolutely loved it, was recommended from #booktok and didn’t have any expectations but it was amazing. If you love a feminist female AND MALE main character this is for you. Wonderfully written❤️"

nayelis_sanchez shared a tip "I haven’t read it yet but i heard really good things and  The main character is a villain and is enemies to lovers which I love!"

nayelis_sanchez shared a tip "@jes_reese I haven’t read it yet but I’ve heard really good things and the main character is a villain and the book has enemies to lovers which I love!"

alycia_gatta shared a tip "This was a quick read and I really liked the characters because they weren’t “good” people. I did think the ending was a bit too anti-climatic though."

violettclaire shared a tip "This book was great. I got major Slytherin vibes. I loved the main characters and the mystery that rode throughout the story. Definitely recommend."

nutmeg_k shared a tip "This book was absolutely enthralling, it had me hooked from the very beginning. It had just the right amount of thrill, banter, and comedic moments that it kept me eagerly turning the pages."

jen_reads shared a tip "Absolutely loved it! It’s not you’re typical goth dark fantasy book which I loved! It has twists and turn that just kept me from putting the book down! Loved it so much! #romance #fantasy #young_adult_fiction"

khrystyna shared a tip "Such a good book! I loved it, but it is a more spicy book than I expected. I wish I could read this book for the first time all over again. #romance #spicy #power #kingdom #fantasy"
