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)

honestly. i enjoyed it enough to give it 4 stars, but maybe a bit more was needed for 5 stars. i adored the main character. i adored the way she was built, but sometimes she honestly irritated me. i am a sucker for strong heroines. the king was expected to be smart, but to me he was a little too oblivious. (still cute ngl). the ending was what matters the most according to me and i was not a huge fan of it. i didn't mind it either. but i like endings that make me remember them. id love it better if she lost him honestly. but still overall it was a great book that i might read a second time as a paperback. 4.5 stars.

almost the best match for me.

Honestly when I read the description for this book I was so excited and didn’t know what to expect. I wasn’t disappointed. I read the book in 3 days and just am so in love with the characters. The narrator is amazing, I felt like I was actually in the book, feeling all the emotions of the characters.

If you love a strong female lead with ambition, drive and passion, this is the book for you.

I would 100% recommend!

Pulls at your heart!

I picked this book up a few months ago and tried reading it, but I just couldn't get into at that time. Having recently getting into listening to audiobooks, I figured I would give it another go. I am so glad that I did or I would have missed out on this fantastic standalone! You will go into this book thinking one thing, and come out the end thinking something completely different. The twists and turns in this book will have you waiting on the edge of your seat, needing more and before you know it, you've finished the whole book! 4 stars!

So glad I gave this a second chance!
