This book had one of my favorite summaries I've seen so far this year, and that cover! Plus, I mean, shadows, right? Shadowsssssssssss!

I'll first say that I absolutely loved the story line! I always enjoy books with the goal to murder but then feelings change along the way. Plus, the Shadow King was just so freaking sweet! I wanted to hug him!!

Now, my problem was Alessandra! I adored that she did however she chose, be it with her sexual desires, murder, or whatever. I even love villains! And she was very much a villain. But dang, I just could not connect with this lady! Then we have to toss in some other guy, but we know she has to be with the Shadow King, right. Right?! She was just so hot headed and made poor choices at times. However, her character did grow, but even toward the end I was annoyed with this woman still making lame decisions!

Now, besides my frustrations with the MC, I very much loved the writing, the world building, the originality, and the swoon! Now, I just want to be enveloped in a ton of shadows!
