Unique plot? No. New? Definitely not. Did it have the chance to become its own and unique deliverance? Absolutely. Did it do so? Hell no. Yes, the Shadows Between Us has fantasy elements, though they are not in-your-face present. Thus, if you aren’t a huge fan of fantasy, this story might just get you into the genre. Is there romance in The Shadows Between Us? Her character is so consistent. It was truly a pleasure to be in her mind. She's calm, cool, and cultured. There were some little details that really brought her to life, mostly in the way she interacted with Kallias and the characters I call the Merry Thieves because they feel like characters from Chain of Gold--Petros, Rhouben, and Leandros. Speaking of them, I love the side characters. They all have distinct personalities, and it's so sweet how Alessandra slowly opens up to them.

What are you thinking?” I say a moment later. “Of course not.” I stare down at the gorgeous ring once more. With this gift, Myron has outlived his usefulness. For some reason, my lovers cease to give me expensive presents once I turn down their proposals. My dream was of him, of the day he told me it had been fun but he was done. Some other girl had caught his fancy. I don’t even remember her name. At the time, all I could think of was the fact that I’d given everything to Hektor: my first kiss, my love, my body. i LOVE that this is a standalone. most YA fantasy stories come in the form of a series and sometimes (aka most of the time) i dont want to commit to multiple books (hence the many series i have yet to finish). i love an author who can take a fantasy world and create a well-developed and resolved standalone story with it.
The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller | Goodreads
I will discuss 10 fantasy romance books similar to The Shadows Between Us. These novels offer beautiful, atmospheric writing that can transport you to different worlds, immersing the reading experience. Let’s go! Name Unfortunately no. The Shadows Between Us is a stand-alone, meaning there is not a sequel, and so it is not a series. The concept is really interesting. Like, that synopsis sold me the book. And the beginning was very promising. Waiting. Not waiting. One lover. A hundred lovers. There should be no judgment either way. A woman is not defined by what she does or doesn‘t do in the bedroom.”

If only he knew I have my sights set a bit higher than that. “It’s a very kind offer, but I’m not ready to settle down just yet.” And now it’s time for you to leave it.” I move to rise from the bed when the door to my chambers bursts open. You make it difficult for me to find you a suitable match when you’re caught with a new bedfellow every night.” I also remember what finally helped my head catch up with my pounding heart: the last word out of Hektor’s lips. She is a headstrong and independent woman with clear goals in mind. First, she’s going to woo the Shadow King. After that, she is going to marry him. And then, she is going to murder the king and take his kingdom for herself.

Myron freezes with his hand outstretched toward me, and my father, Sergios Stathos, Lord Masis, looks down at what he can see of our naked bodies. Myron is a hopeless romantic, and he is very much in love with Alessandra. At the beginning of the book, we find out they have been having a frisky affair. You cannot imagine how happy I'm when I go to see the second round of the Goodreads Choice Awards and The Shadows Between Us are nominated in the Best Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction. The Shadow King has the power of shadows. This is vaguely explained and just sort of shrugged off at one point. We never go in-depth into his powers or their reason for being. It could have made for really cool mythology, but alas. It pulled this book away from a fresh, exciting concept into something more mundane and ordinary YA.
The real gratification lies in Rasmira’s transformation from broken, betrayed, girl to resourceful, confident victor. Her final clash with the god is heart pounding, and her triumph in front of her village and father is satisfyingly righteous." -- The Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books, on Warrior of the Wild We find out that Leandros is not who he says he is and is actually Xanthos, Kallias’ brother. Xanthos has been the one trying to kill Kallias all along. The Shadows Between Us proved to me once again why I don't rely on Booktok for book recommendations. I take these books as overhyped, and I noticed the pattern it follows is that it relies on recommending very hyped books only. Seriously, the amount of Tik Tok's I have seen with this book made me wonder even more if readers truly enjoy these books or if they're just trying to hop on the bandwagon . . . I handled Hektor as I have handled everything else in my life: alone and with the utmost thoroughness.” The Darkness within Us is a companion novel to The Shadows Between Us. It can be read without reading the first book.
