08/18/2020 - I started reading this book on a kindle edition, immediately falling in love with it that I had to purchase a physical copy.

This book was a little different from other fantasies I've read; liking how the heroine of the story (Alessandra) wasn't such an innocent, quick lovable character. She was tough, straightforward, ambitious in fighting for what she wanted, and also having skeletons in her closet most men would say clear from. Deep down inside all she wanted was someone to see her for who she truly was.

Then there's the Shadow King: ruthless, handsome, kind, and lonely. He's determined to find out the truth about his parents and wont let anything or anyone stop him...until Alessandra changes everything.

I loved the dynamic of these characters, their friendship, their slow burn romance, and how they helped each other even through all their flaws. I know this is a stand alone story but I would love to see this world keep growing.
