“They've never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will.”
A fantasy romance novel filled with strategies, hatred, greed but most of all love.
SYNOPSIS
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?
REVIEW
Alessandra is a fierce, brave woman who takes what she wants, instead of asking for it. All her life she had been ignored and suppressed, so when she got the chance to woo the Shadow King, she grabbed it. What she did not expect was to have to fight her affection for the Shadow King.
The plot of the book was mostly very interesting, except for a few parts where I thought that the characters were a bit too morally grey. It got much as the story developed but still those few scenes made me lose my interest. The character's amazingly good looks and chemistry helped.
The best part about the book is that throughout it all, Alessandra did not lose her true empowered self. Usually in such stories, as the woman falls in love her character loses its strength, but Alessandra remains stronger than ever.
All in all, it was an extremely well written story, with a gripping morally grey plot and it makes me look forward to reading the author's other works.
My Rating: 3.7/5
